The Final Countdown

With a three month notice period on our current flat, we will soon have to make a call about when we can  move into the new house.

We broached the subject at the site meeting on Wednesday, and the current plan is this:

- We hand in our notice by 20 August, 
- The main part of the works are finished by 1 October,
- A month to sand floors, paint the rooms, fix the front door, fit the kitchen, curtains etc,
- We start moving our things in over the 1 November long weekend ...
- and are out of the flat by 20 November.

And because we like a challenge, at the same time we have to factor in my return to work, the twins starting nursey and C changing jobs.  

I think we can already declare 2013 the year of putting our feet up.
