I'm moving house tomorrow and no-one cares

[Beachday]

I'm emotional and overwhelmed and not one person has thought to offer any help, physical or emotional.

My husband died, I have a young son and a dog and I can't do it by myself.

I can
I know this time in 48 hours I will be over the worst of it.
But I can't stop crying
I feel so let down

Professional movers remit doesn't include small children or puppies.

Beachday needs moral support and company.

I'll come sweetheart if you're near me, where are you?

Do send that group text op, people sometimes really do assume that if you don't ask for help you don't want it. As far as the dog is concerned, crate him and just fetch him out for regular toilet breaks, yes he will cry and no it probably won't be a particularly nice day for him but it's one day, he will have forgotten about it by the day after, honestly. I hope someone comes through for you tomorrow but we will be here for hand holding if not

I think you should send a group message saying 'I'm moving tomorrow and feeling a bit shit about the whole thing and no idea what to do with the puppy. Is anyone around for a bit to help/ walk dog/ go for coffee/ have a cry?'

Whereabouts in the Uk are you?

Good luck today, OP. It will be over soon, look forward to that time

I understand how you feel. I don't think any friends of mine would offer to help if I moved either.

It's probably not that people don't care, everyone is so busy in their own worlds they don't come up for air sometimes. Also they will think you have it sorted or that other people will be helping.

Hope it goes as well as possible for you.

So I've left them to it. They were very friendly, I just have to trust them to get it right!
I just packed the valuables, and a bag for today/tomorrow.
The dog cried outside for an hour while I got organised, but he's not distressed.
So I'm in the new house with the dog and a cup of tea and cake.
We'll have takeaway tonight, go out for dinner tomorrow night.
Even if my husband was here, he'd be at work, so I'd be organising everything.

Thank you all for getting me through my wobble last night. It was all just so daunting.
Ds woke up last night with a nightmare- sobbing- he has never done that before.
He said it was about the zombie apocalypse, but he's upset too about leaving- but he is excited about the new house. I've built it up!
What the hell does he know about the zombie apocalypse? !!

It will be fine. I gave ours the keys and went out for the day.

It was nice to get to the new house and watch the boxes placed into the right rooms but not having to get involved until it was all over.

You will be fine, I promise xx

Oh and my sister thought it was tomorrow!
She's going to take ds to school for me tomorrow

Congratulations on getting through this bit. You sound like you are in good hands. Deep breaths and enjoy your takeaway this evening.

Wishing you well in your new home.

Zombie Apocalypse? Has he been on the preppers' threads?!

You sound much more up this morning Beachday, well done. I do hope everything works out well in your new house and DS loves it too. Spoil yourselves and take it easy, it must be such an emotional time for you both. And good you heard from your sister (duh for getting the wrong day!!), I'm glad she's there for you.

Best of luck! xx to put in your new front room

Well done for getting through such a huge hurdle. Glad your sister has jumped on board.

Wishing you happiness in your new home and getting it just how you want it.

Well done Beach

Good luck in your new home.

And with your puppy. They are a bloody nightmare aren't they?!

Good luck in your new home today. Well done for all the strength you are showing your ds.

Sounds like you are doing great OP stay strong- hope you and ds settle in your new home quickly

Good on you for getting through this tricky move ... Onwards and upwards ... You are doing brilliantly !! Best of luck to you in your new home !

Well done, all positive from now on.

Glad to hear your sister has stepped up.

[fowers]

well done - glad you are in and feeing better. and

Sorry you lost your husband Beach. So fucking hard xx xx

Have a magic vase for those >-I (turn it up the right way before you put the flowers in, mind)

Hope it's going well, soon be the weekend and you'll be well under way to being sorted out with where things need to be.

Don't under estimate what a big job moving is, even with removals people, let alone as a single parent and pet owner, so do make sure you don't push yourself too much

Well done, it must have been very hard for you, emotionally as well as physically. Pease don't be afraid to ask your friends for support if something similar comes up again...people don't always know what to do for the best and may be nervous about upsetting you

Absolutely shattered
But very happy with new place.
Got a bit emotional saying goodbye to a couple of neighbours who were lovely.
And found this piece of wood with dh's workings out on it. His writing. That set me off. Remembering when we moved in and how excited we were

BEACHDAY & mini-beach, sending much love & best wishes for the future your way.
God Bless You -x-
