Moving House in Transition

I’ve started looking at rental properties and have made appointments to look at two next week. As I have two days off work, I suppose I should make the most of it and start looking. I’ve put the mortgage on hold until January and then will change it to interest only payments after that, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t move out before the house is sold as I’ll be able to afford the rent. I think it would be easier that way anyway, as I can get all the things out of the house to make it look more presentable to potential buyers, and then just pass it to the estate agent to deal with. I would hate to have to deal with the sale myself, it would just be too difficult.

So I’m looking at places a bit closer to work. It’ll be further for roller derby, but that’s only once or twice a week and going to work is every single day. I’m getting so sick of taking 90 minutes to get to and from work when the journey should really take about 25 minutes. People drive like idiots around here, they keep crashing cars and blocking the roads. The worst of it is always between junction 10 - 6 of the M6, in both directions. I live at junction 9 and work at junction 4 so I always get stuck in it. So I’m looking at places around junction 6, where the traffic shouldn’t be so bad and it’s a lot closer so it’ll cut a chunk off my journey.

This is really happening. I need to start packing and getting rid of Jay’s belongings :o(
