Thanks dudes
Everything went pretty much as planned and we are now in the new house - and I'm absolutely loving it large. And so are my wife, son and dog. My wife is loving the extra space and the kitchen that is nearly double the size of our last one. My son is actually spending a few days not loving it too much because I haven't finished setting his playroom up yet - he doesn't even know he's getting a playroom yet though as I want it to be a total surprise when it's all ready. So he's spending a bit of time in his high-chair and exersaucer, (which he's way too big for now but still enjoys), to give my wife time to do more unpacking while I'm at work. Our dog is loving the huge yard - first time we've had one - running around playing in the leaves and marking his territory. He's not loving the fact that he's not allowed in the house beyond the sun-room but we don't want him marking his territory in here... will probably try and ease him in slowly, a room at a time, till he gets used to it.
My commute to work has shrunk from 2hrs each-way to 11 minutes and 24 seconds doorstep to desk, including getting the car out of the garage
The movers were REAL quick... they turned up at 8:30am and left the new place at 3:30pm - unfortunately they didn't put all the boxes in the right rooms though, so the unpacking process will take even longer than expected - hopefully we'll be finished in time for Christmas! With that said I'll probably be a little scarce this week getting everything set up.
