Well after what seemed like months of non-activity the house move has suddenly gone from a crawl to rocket speed. After a letter at the weekend with a suggested completion date (that suits us perfectly as it's at the start of half term), I phoned the solicitor to OK it. Now we have just 3 weeks to arrange everything. The removal company has given us a provisional date (we can't confirm until we've signed!). We've asked the local council to come and collect old furniture that we aren't taking with us. Tomorrow I start to ring all the utility companies to advise them of the *provisional* moving date. This I can see being the problem area, as several of their websites say to give 4 weeks notice. Hard to do when you don't know what's happening until 3 weeks before!!
