I just accepted a new job today which means that I'll be leaving sunny Bournemouth later this year to set up home with the family in the West Midlands. Fingers crossed but I should be moving around September time if we find the right house.

I already work a few days each month in Wolverhampton for my current employer so I know the areas reasonably well, although I'll be based in Coventry.

Looks like I'll have plenty of opportunity to meet up with some of the TM members based in the Midlands...

I'll keep you posted.

good luck with the new job mate!

i've got to visit Coventry once a year for a fitness test so make sure you have a couple of steaks in the fridge and a bottle of vodka handy for next year!..hehe

Thanks

Vodka and steak - a man after my own heart (or what's left of it)

Nice, hope it all goes well for you!

And just think, not too far away from The House of Magic (UK) either!

Being a quilfied Home contents Logistics officer. I shall offer you this bit of advice pack your kettle last!. Good Luck Dat one has toured round the west midlands and the east midlands.

good on you and don't forget the jar of coffee, spoon and sugar bag go in the kettle along with the lead, its so easy to forget were they are when you unpack the kettle.

Thanks everyone

I always thought that you packed the kettle with everything else so that you had an excuse to know on the new neighbours door

good luck with the job and the move, hope it all goes well for you

Good luck with everything!

Good luck Dat hope all goes well.

good luck with the new job. I don't envy you having to move house though, I know how stressful it can be!

ahhh I hated moving house, I've only done it once and that was as a first time buyer.

Must be a total nightmare if you're trying to sell as well as buy.

Same here.. first time buyer last year.. complete pain in the neck.. we are looking to move on next year so cant bear to think about the hassle.

Good luck.. be sure to pop up to Nottingham

I have a relocation package so everything will be taken care of for me - including all of the packing.

I just have to find the house that Mrs dat likes and they take care of the rest, including selling the house that we're currently in.

Sorry to ressurrect an old thread but I thought that I would give you all an update

I was finally made redundant on Friday and after a good night on the town and much of Saturday recovering I've now got three weeks off before starting the new job.

We've bought a house in Leamington Spa and are just waiting to exchange sale contracts on the purchase and the sale of this one which should all happen within the next week or two.

I'll be spending my first few weeks in the Midlands in a hotel if anyone fancies a get together and a pint, and then it will be the house move at the beginning of October (fingers crossed).

Everything has worked out very well but as always, it's sad saying farewell to a lot of good work colleagues
