Can't believe it is only Saturday - 5 days since my last blog. But what a 5 days it's been.
Was buzzing around like crazy to get things sorted at the beginning of the week. Final bits of house to clear, loads of chasing on the phone for everything. Stuff to move to Mum's, her new wheelchair delivered, mattresses to buy, etc, etc, etc...... Then waiting to hear back on credit checks, electricity safety checks, gas checks. All was going well until the electicitian came around and tutted lots and said there was a LOT of work to be done - even implying that the house might need rewiring.
By Wednesday, a move on Friday was looking very unlikely so we changed to a 'maybe Saturday' and lots of chasing of electrician and utilities etc. I was so stressed by this stage that I had become chilled.
By Thursday stress levels had risen again - I never thought it would be possible to exceed Wednesday's levels - finally decided moving out before I leave for Nepal is just not going to happen and left the Agent to break the news to my prospective tenants. Don't think he was too happy but hey I like people to earn their money.
Friday had another electrician around and luckily things are not as bad as the other guy's tutting had implied and am having it all done before I go. Tenants were stuck as they had nowhere else to go - I had offered them to move their stuff in. Anyway finally agreed that they could move in and start renting today - waiting for them as I type - so I am going to be their lodger in my house for a couple of days......... To be continued.............

Good to hear that it's getting sorted out - just. I think there must be a tutting school somewhere, with sucking in as an elective.
