And then. After that. You've got to actually move.

We're looking at moving house in the next year but the whole thing seems to wrapped up in stress as to be unimaginable. You've got to both find somewhere that's affordable but also is in a nice area, has decent schools, is a good environment for the kids, has enough room to move around in, is close to transportation for T, has somewhere for the car, has working internet, isn't on a flood plane and god knows what else that hasn't just come into my mind. The whole thing is a bit of nightmare and then once you've somehow found that sweet spot then you've got to hope you can sell your own house in time and that it all synchs up. Argghhh. And then. After that. You've got to actually move. 

I've moved a few times in the past and it's never gone massively well, I've always done it very last minute and been driven by needing somewhere to inhabit rather than something I actually want and every time it's been a bit of a disaster in one way or another. I've lived in my current house for the longest time I can remember and I'll be honest in that i don't look forward to leaving the house itself. It's pretty spacious and enjoyable to inhabit and i know where things should go in the main.

T keeps sending me houses through and I worry I'm not good enough to be able to live in them. Something will go wrong and I'll be exposed to a massive debt that I can't do anything about. It takes all my existing anxieties and ramps them up to the max, and then I'll have to be calm for the children. We've been aiming to do it for a while now but with the kids finally starting school this year then I think it's finally time to start doing something about.

Hopefully it'll be good to document the process as this is the start of the first time we've been in a position to actually move with me heading for 6 months in the new job (though how much long I'll be here who knows).
