How to make moving house less stressful- part 4: YOU CAN'T

There's a reason they say moving house is stressful- because it is!

OK, trying to move house during a global pandemic might not be the best idea but there have been multiple contributing factors that have nothing to do with Covid-19.

My situation is slightly unusual but it's been 6 months since putting in an offer on a house and we still haven't moved.
From having to change solicitors, getting turned down for a mortgage, having to think of an unusual way of acquiring a different mortgage (it's not what you know but WHO you know) and liaise with solicitors and other people in the process, it's been more than a little bit hectic.

Several bars of chocolate and bottles of wine have been consumed, numerous frustrations and expletives voiced but ultimately patience is a virtue that is required in abundance!

So while we are still waiting for an exchange date, hopefully starting to pack will prove a little less stressful and feel as though some progress is being made!
