Congrats, I think

It can take a while for a house to feel like home or it can happen straight away.
It really disrupted my eldest when we moved and he was two (for a couple of nights).
Takeaway and a bottle of wine are essential moving day items!

Congrats Andy but also sorry the kids are struggling with the new place. Having moved to a fair few places as a kid I’m sure the adaptation will be swift and excitement will soon take over. Hope you find the kettles and shoes and get to love the new place :)

It happens. Even with our meticulous planning around packing. On moving day, ms_com had to stay at the old flat to try and wrangle a missing cat (SOMEONE didn't think my idea of keeping the cats in overnight the night before to stop this from happening was a good idea so one cat fucked off at the earliest opportunity). So she was not at the new place to direct the movers as to where to put what box. Turns out labelling boxes means fuck all if they're stacked 5 high and 5 deep in two different rooms on two different floors.
Label all sides of boxes when packing in future is the only lesson I learned. And trap any pets at the earliest opportunity.

Congrats Good luck on settling in and getting Xmas on the go.

Finally, after nearly three years of trying to move, we're in the new house. Normally that would be the cause of celebration, but both kids are in floods of tears and want to go home, because the new house has quirks that we haven't got round to getting used to yet and everything we need is in a box somewhere.
Took three hours to find the fucking kettle, moving guys were great but were just grabbing stuff we needed - i.e. aforementioned kettle, bits of the vacuum cleaner, both kid's pair of shoes - and throwing them into boxes and chucking them into the van.
