hell yeah.

rght so now I need to be practical. I have only moved from parents to here so who do i have to tell i'm moving and when?? I am guessing phone/broadband/tv 28 days notice. We have decided not to move the services with us for a few reasons. Firstly new customers get better deals, cashback and currently i'm is a sky dish free zone but new home allows dishes and I want sky +.

Everything else ?????

I did have a whole list: depends on what you've got registered and either way you need to tell certain people that you're leaving...

Doctors
Dentists
DVLA
Vets
Council Tax
Mobile Phones
Insurance- Car, Pet and otherwise
Landline
TV
TV Licence
Water
Gas
Electric
Bank accounts...

stuck there, if I think of anymore I'll let you know.
In the run up to our move, I had a print out with everyone I needed to call, and their cheapest telephone number, so I could call and tick them off as necessary.

Only thing I don't have on that list is Water. no water charges in Scotland Banks we are with about 8 different banks over 4 of us plus kids trust funds. :eek: 2 cars so 2 sets of car stuff. blah.

When i moved from parents I just changed things as letters were sent thru

I need to move to Scotland!!

When it's a big, permanent move then it is hard to remember everything- but yeah it does all need doing. Banks etc tend to be quite easy.. but it's important to remember because else you end up losing an account like I have. Somewhere in my various moves a few years ago, I forgot to change the address on an old account- nothing in it anyway so it didnt matter... but to this day, I don't know where it is or anything. I probably could go to my "local" RBS branch, which is in another city... but I don't care!

Hi Lilac I hear your moving!!!! :j

If you're worried about letting everyone know you've moved don't forget the Royal Mail can forward any mail incorrectly sent to old address to new for a while
