I am delighted that you have managed to do such a good job.
I mentioned before that I think you used a relatively small pot for such
a large plant-so I would suggest that once there is a sign of growth that
you should give it some feed.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures of it in its new home.

oh no somebody says don't feed it - somebody else says feed it what do iI
do, its actually growing ther are new tips growing - half an inch in one
week, I'm taking off the pollinated stigma I'm pretty sure I dont want
pears taking water atm but should I feed it ? ;

Panic not. I doubt that you are now in a position to easily kill it.
The friend of La Puce was quite correct in saying not to feed the plant just
after replanting. I suggest that the pot is quite small for such a large
plant so a feed in a few weeks time will be a benefit.
Whatever you do I doubt that lack of nutrients will kill it between now and
when you move house.
One pear fruit, complete with seed, might be useful as an insurance
policy:-)
