Big day today. Lots of headless-chicken running-about-knees-bent advancing behaviour, or whatever. But it's all been productive, which is pretty awesome. So, the running:

1) Funds have cleared for flat, so I have to go out this afternoon and sign the lease properly. Man, the world thrives on paperwork. How many trees died so that I might have my flat?

2) Man with van has been called. I am a little concerned that he didn't particularly seem to get where I was calling from, despite repeating it three times and then spelling it out for him, but I get the impression this man hasn't been outside the M25 for the entirety of his life. Still, he's been called and will be 'round at about half past three to pack my worldly goods into a transit van and haul them off to my shiny new home.

3) I need to sort out the utilities but that's going to have to wait until I have signed the lease owing to the fact that I don't know the full post code or the utility companies with which the property already concerns itself. I'll have to ask the letting agent. I may be offline a bit as of tomorrow afternoon (not like there'll be that much of a difference to my LJ/Dreamwidth usage, but hey).

4) Tomorrow afternoon, post-mover, I'll have to go do a bit of shopping. The little things; cutlery, kettle, duvet that actually fits the bed, telephone ... y'know, the usual. Thankfully, I can get most if not all of the essentials on the cheap, and of course charity shops are a godsend.

Right. Lots to do, not a lot of time to do it in. Best get moving. *squee*
