    Awwww bless him!

    I did flooring and decorating before I moved, and got the broadband activated, made life so much easier.

    I'm guessing you are at the stage where you feel that the packing will never end, I promise you it will!!

    Yes, it does make it much easier. Yup, i feel like that right now. Everytime i think we are almost there, i open my eyes wider and think... ugh. Thankfully, it's almost here and we can move out and start unpacking. 

    I'm thankful this time that we have removals to do all the hard work.

    Good luck for tomorrow Poppy, you seem to be organised so that’s great. 
    You’ll be sitting in your new home with your feet up and a cuppa before you know it.
    Look after yourself as it is a lot you’re dealing with.

    Wow a cat willing to enter a cat carrier. He really is excited about the move as much as you and your daughter are.

    Oh Alfie <3 

    Best of luck for tomorrow Poppy, I hope the move goes really smoothly for you all. And I'll see you next week once you have internet back. I'm still so excited for you. :)

    I know lol. He did the same when we moved house the last time.

    Good luck tomorrow Poppy! Once you're in you can take your time unpacking the boxes. Try and keep your cat in for a bit so they don't go wandering too far! 
    Thank you. My daughter usually does the unpacking. My cat is an indoor cat so no worries about him running away.

    That’s fantastic. How wonderful to be able to get up and down the stairs easily.

    Brilliant news poppy . Can I ask how long it took them To fit it please. Mines due to be installed in couple of weeks. 

    What make have they given you for the stairlift . My current one is stannah. But one that coming is a T.K one. Apparently don’t do stannah no more as more expensive?!

    Thank you! 
    @boppit68 there was one person and it took him 90 minutes, which I thought was very quick. There wasn’t one to remove so that may have made it quicker.

    It’s a Handicare 1100 for straight stairs. It makes such a difference to be able to get up stairs so much easier now.

    Thank you poppy. Yes that does seem quick. Mines on a curved staircase so think maybe more messing around with that 
    bet it’s a weight off your mind now you can get up the stairs with ease, than having to struggle .

    Congratulations on your move Poppy! <3 I am so glad you got the stairlift sorted so quickly too! Are there many boxes to still unpack?

    @boppit68 you're welcome. Yes, yours may take longer but hopefully not much longer. It's a pleasure to go upstairs now. My grandson asked me today when he comes to my house can he gave a go of my stairlift.  :D
     @Hannah_Scope thank you. All boxes were empty within a few days, thanks to my lovely daughter. She hates mess and untidy rooms so couldn't wait to start unpacking.

    Hi Poppy.
    Thats amazing I’m so pleased for you it’ll make a massive difference to your daily life.
    I totally understand when you say you can’t remember the last time you felt this happy.
    When I got my electric bath seat fitted last year I actually felt overwhelmed with happiness and relief.
    And 2 of my granddaughters always ask if they can they have a go on it. 🥰

    Here’s to making lots off  happy memories in your new home Poppy.

    ❤️

    So glad you're settling in nicely Poppy, having a daughter that hates mess seems to be very useful indeed.  :D
