Got in contact with the Removal firm yesterday, asking for a quote.
Probably should've done that a LOT earlier, as they're now suggesting that just the quote will take 2 and a half weeks. Grrr!

Thankfully, the lady on the other side of the email suggested that, should things progress quicker than expected, they can still move us out ASAP.
.. but no doubt that'll be an extra charge on top!

Given the distance, we'd previously budgeted for whopping £1,200, but the lady said it shouldn't be much more than about £900, which .. on the one hand is a little better than we thought, but on the other hand.. Yeah, I estimated that closely enough!
Everyone was saying "Nah, it'll only be about £300 or so", but they weren't considering the distance, nor the fact that.. realistically, we need other people to do it.

We want the removal men to come and do everything for us. I'm certainly in no condition to be moving boxes here there and everywhere, and Mum's not exactly in tip-top shape either, especially since her arthritis is playing up again. recently.
Pay men, get them to do it, get it done.

Out of here, into there, all in one great big lump.

*sigh*

Meanwhile...

I'm still using FileZilla for my SFTP client. I never learn, do I?
Recently it's started doing a really really annoying thing where, for reasons I'm not 100% sure of, it'll just chug to hell and back, rocketing my CPU load over 110%, causing my Macbook's temperature to lunge into the mid 80's, and slowing the whole system to a crawl.
I really don't understand why it's doing this, but I guess it's time to find a newer/better SFTP client.. again...
Either that or make it so I can upload the daily pixelart/poetry directly to the site so I don't have to faff about with SFTP every day.
.. Guess I could do that..?!
