Well, Charley's post has given me an idea. What we need for moving day is a House Moving Shanty, led by the Roaring Forties. What with them and the Morris Men, we'll be lucky if we don't all get thrown in the Loonie Bin!

Today has been a mixed bag. On one hand I have taken over some of my most valued possessions to my new home, I have sent a money order to Nicole for the Mudcat cookbook, and I am reading this heartwarming thread.

On the downside, the agent rang me today, and told me that the original third person on the lease, who left over two years ago, is not on the lease any more. The person who came after her is. The original three names still appear on the receipts, so I didn't realize. All three leaseholders have to sign a form in order for me to get the bond back from the Rental Bond Board. The only trouble is, this person left last year - in fact was asked to leave by me. It was after that that Eddie the wanker moved in. This person who I now have to ask to sign the form was my former partner with whom I had a very nasty breakup. It's not insurmountable, but I'm severely pissed off at having to ask anything of this person. I think I will get the agent to contact them, and hope they don't make things difficult. Just one more complication and indignity I need like a hole in the head. I'm afraid my tolerance level for this sort of thing is at a very low ebb at the moment.

Now I must make myself concentrate on the positive things, and there are plenty. So any ideas for a House Moving Shanty?
