Great 'things to do before you move house' Hunt

Pack a suitcase as if you are going on holiday for a week, saves the rummaging around looking for clean socks etc.

If I ever move again I will hire a good quality container or two in a secure storage facility and start loading them a couple of months before the move. At £100 per month it's worthwhile

£100 a month!? I hired one for my move to Devon at £8 a week!

I know the 2 most important things I need to order when I get the keys are a sofa and a bed, as I own neither (not taking my current bed, before anyone suggests it) and am not willing to order these until I have the keys in my hand.

When you have moved don't get suckered into buying a new sofa from DFS/SCS/Whoever which will not only cost £1k but will take 8 weeks+ for delivery!
Instead go on gumtree/ebay & you'll be amazed how many neraly new sofas are available for around £200 where people are moving and their DFS sofa will no longer fit the new house!
My ex ended selling our leather corner sofa about a week after I finished paying for it as we'd separated & it didn't suit her new house:o

The one i did was on a farm in 2005 but now looks like a company has taken over. Still starts at £9 a week for a small one though: http://www.whiteball.co.uk/html/sizes_and_prices.html
