Help me out please. We are moving house , we picked the keys up last week. Had furniture delivered over next few days. Dh built furniture at weekend. So we decided we would move in this week. There was a couple of concerns, 1 the washing machine needs plumbing in. 2, the internet needs sorting . But I am currently doing a two hour round trip for school twice a day in 25+ heat with no air con so having to use 4g and a launderette seems easier. We had this conversation on Sunday;

Me I think Tuesday will work best for moving as you are working from home so i can leave dog with you, go and get house ready, pick dc up from school and you follow with dog later .
Dh, yeah that sounds like it could work

Then I gave dh some stuff to move on Sunday, I took more on Monday. Dh has come in from work tonight and started saying he doesn't think Tuesday will work as we don't know when washer will be sorted. I pointed out most of our stuff is there now so its a bit late. Dh is annoyed saying we never agreed on Tuesday it was provisional based on washing machine being sorted. Based on the above conversation should I have thought we were moving Tuesday or should I have realised it wasn't definite?

Honestly? It sounds like you're both stressed and picking at this argument because it distracts you nicely from the 'big stress'.

You can go round and round in circles about who said/meant/heard/thought what, or you can talk about what you're going to do now. What's the best option as things stand? What are the pro's and con's? What needs to happen to get you where you need to be?

I would assume it wasn't set in stone as he said it sounded like it "might" work, then he's come back to say it won't after all.
Washing machines aren't too difficult to plumb in yourself, if it would save some waiting around. Fair enough if you'd rather have someone do it, but DP did ours when we moved in to our current house and it was easier than we thought!
