So here we are, moving in two weeks time. I'm petrified, I hate moving house but Jane is an expert. She has had over two dozen homes since she went to college aged 18, not counting halls of residence.

The whole buying/selling experience was not as stressful as I thought it would be. The whole negotiation with the sellers went ok, they agreed to a 21st April entry date (instead of wanting us in by the end of February).

We only had one viewing and they came the day we went on the market. Cash buyers and wanting to move on 7th April and full price. Wish I'd asked for more now. :-)

So now we need to organise a new kitchen, pack up (70% there already) and move.


Work has been different. The other Saturday night we as a crew were right royally shafted. The jobs we got were all pish. Emergencies that were ordered by Doctors because they wanted beds cleared, urgent jobs that were out of time and the like. Also twice that night wards refused to accept the patients we were transferring as it was too late at night or they were not informed of the transfer!!? Our control was not much help either.

We also did a lot of emergencies driving from one end of Edinburgh to the other. Seems that resources were not beeing handled efficiently. The upshot of this was we didn't receive a break until 8 hours into the shift, no second break and they tried to give us another job 10 minutes after the shift was over.

I'll talk more later
