Best of luck for your move tomorrow. I hope you will have lots of help and that it will all go smoothly for you.

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 .

went to post office yesterday and have arranged for post to be redirected for 12 months, figure after that i should have notified everyone. been up since 4 stressing i'm going to have forgot something, so having peaceful half hour with computer before i pack it up and get started. will let you know how i get on sometime tomorrow.

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

all moved, did make up beds first, as figured sooner kids were in bed the better, totally exhausted, but got most things i need unpacked, and decided on a box a night from now on till everything is sorted. thanks for all you good wished and advice.

thats why i'm only doing a box a night so i can come on here. is so addictive, can't do without my daily fix. Thanks for the pic too. ;D

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
