Documenting our disastrous move from leafy north London to the grungy south...

Welcome to Hither Green

For those of you who haven't heard the saga... here goes.
    •    One chain free sale that took five months... yes five
    •    One house that was not vacant... i.e. the seller hadn't moved out!
    •    One broken boiler, the day we move in so no hot water, no heating... in winter
    •    One crime scene around the corner - anyone fancy coming for a visit?!
    •    One threatening bailiff letter (for the ex-tenant of course!)
    •    Two broken hoovers left behind and three lawn mowers
    •    Two lost passports
    •    Four pieces of furniture that are still MIA
    •    And twenty one (and counting) pieces of mail that haven't been re-directed!
And that's not the half of it...

So there you have it... our adventures south of the river in less than four weeks.

And that's before we start the reno's.
