    be careful with keys on moving day .

    I have moved several times ,I once locked myself out of a third floor flat on moving day .I was lucky the local council had a spare key to do repairs .

    the second time I had all the keys left out for the new owners ,everything packed in the van then closed the front door leaving the keys inside .
    i had to break the lock on the front door .
    After you move make a list of everone who needs your new address .My last move was 7 years ago I still get post from the schools and hospital for the previous owners .

    Something I read on here I think, when you move make up beds in your new home as soon as you can, otherwise you'll put it off and they wont be ready when you need them to fall into.

    Hope it all goes smoothly for you

    can I suggest one of the most important thingsthat would cost you loads of money if forgotten..........change your home insurance-my friend did and she was broken in to and loads stolen-I don't want to say this to scare you but to make sure her mistake doesn't happen to you
    I'm a lady, I like ladies things
