Moving in has begun

Took a load of stuff that was already in boxes down to the flat today.

Doesn't seem to have made a dent on what we still have to pack or take down, but it's a start.

When we got there, I obviously had to collect the keys and such and it was the first time I'd been in the flat when it was ready to go. The hole in the wall was gone, doors were all put in and it all looked good.

Awaiting us was a welcome pack from Barratt's including some tea, instant coffee, biscuits and a bottle of Moet & Chandon champers. Not bad at all!

Move the boxes in with mum, dad, ben and sue then enjoyed a bottle of champers that we brought with us (the Moet wasn't chilled yet). Everyone was suitably impressed that I'd made a wise investment. Here's hoping it all works out.

There's a few problems with the place and the Barratt's girl said to expect about 10-15 things that we'll notice over the course of the first month or so. Will endeavour to write them down so as not to forget.

We are aiming to get most of the other stuff in the flat moved in next Saturday.
