Moving!
Two hour commutes! Delayed trains! Comments on my “windswept” hair!
All these I have endured since I moved jobs. Currently, I am traveling every day, 3 trains and almost two hours from NW London down to the edge of Bromley, SE London.
Things I no longer wonder about:
1. If “windswept” is a compliment (Answer: Categorically, no.)
2. Why women dress in a glamorous suits and dirty, grey trainers.
3. Whether it is possible to dry your hair, shirt and trousers under the automatic dryer in the school toilet.
4. If it is possible to buy tampons at London Bridge station.
5. How quickly the Community Police Officers can respond when you are pickpocketed (in the same station after buying the tampons).
So much to miss about commuting! And miss it I will - finally, I am moving! Southeast London, you dreamy paradise, here I come!
Another thing I learned about today… I found a brilliant web site called moveme.com. You type in your details and it does everything from change your address with your utilities to recommend of removal companies. Children can also inform Santa of their pending move so there are no nasty surprises on Christmas morning.

You should also try www.helpiammoving.com established for over 10 years, you don’t need to register and all information is written from over 20 years in the removal industry rather than hearsay.
