Whilst we have secured our new house, we still needed to arrange for our furniture to be delivered from Sydney and then on to our new address. We asked if we could get it delivered this Friday but were told unlikely but Tuesday is an option but they would get back to us. At 8 this morning they got back to us saying 2nd Feb was the only option as apparently everyone is moving house!! Between then and late lunchtime today, we have gone through the following options:

Move on the 2nd and be done with it
Move this Friday and rent furniture, etc until our stuff arrived - too expensive and the minimum rental term is normally a month
Move on 30th and our lovely new landlord volunteered to leave us some furniture, sheets, towels, plates, etc (we love him now)
Try to get our containers from the current removal company and get it delivered by another company

It was, to be honest, not a very pleasant Wednesday morning.

Thankfully it has all been sorted and the (original) removal company are delivering our furniture on Tuesday.

(FYI: The first day of the school term is the 2nd so we didn't want to move house and have Adam start school on the same day)
