Housing situation update

Posted on February 22, 2006 By admin 2 Comments on Housing situation update


Click on the picture to see a bigger one.
You'll see just how close the new flat is to work.

Things are finally settling down for the house. I've contacted the agent and we'll be allowed to install a Sky dish provided we take it down and plug up the connection holes if the landlord doesn't want it there after we leave. Normally, we'd be asked to give a bigger deposit but since we've already done so because we want a cat, that's ok.

To date, I've already :

  • contacted BT to get a new phone line
  • scheduled the Sky installation
  • updated my insurance policy
  • informed Cambridge City Council (for tax)
  • informed Cambridge water

I still need to :

  • inform Natwest
  • inform National Geographic
  • setup a mail forward from Royal Mail
  • update my mail forward from Canada Post
  • inform IG, Caisse Populaire, McGill, Solutions Bancaires

We get the keys to the property on the 1st of march, and as soon as that happens, we're going to start prepping and painting. If all goes well, we're moving on the 4th of March. Next weekend will see us going to Leicester and Ikea, where we are scheduled to buy about £1000's worth of furniture. Yay, Ikea!

Here's hoping everything goes well between now and then.

Quote of the day

Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows -- sometimes it does not need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips.
--(Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay)
