Change of Address!

I was slightly distracted the other day. It appears all of the spelling errors throughout the mortgage documents will not cause any delays. The documents arrived safely in PEI from BC and so far so good. Yesterday was spent finalizing some information with the lawyer and her office. Speaking of, did I mention it appears “Daddy” is one of the partners at the firm as well. Go figure. I set up utility , telephone and internet accounts/services and then spent the rest of the day at my homemaker duties. Ev’s boss’ boss is in town. He is enduring a management review. It won’t surprise most of you to know that he has already received numerous compliments on the cleanliness of the office, outbuildings, vehicles and his files.

So back to the list I was speaking of the other day. The last couple of times we have moved, I kept an ongoing list of the people and companies we deal with during the course of our relocation. This is an incomplete list of that covers those individuals that we have dealt with from the time we received our transfer notice – to date. Needless to say, there are a number of balls to juggle here. What always comes as a surprise is that you’ll deal with someone on this list that seems to think they are the only person you have to deal with and can’t understand why THEY aren’t YOUR first priority.

The other thing to keep in mind when looking at this list, some of these people/companies are dealt with numerous, if not dozens of times.

I’ll keep updating it as we go along. I think last time we were over 50!

The other thing I have realized is how many websites I have to update this time. Whether it’s banks, facebook, online shopping sites, etc., its added a whole new component to updated contact information. One more piece of evidence that proves technology has not made life any easier for us!
