We are moving from a three bed semi to a slightly larger three bed detached.
Removals quotes are coming in at £1000+ with one saying our stuff won't be insured unless we use their packing services which is more £££.
We don't have an excessive amount of stuff but have all the usual beds/two wardrobes/table/sofa/white goods etc and we are only moving 40 mins away so could do a couple of trips if necessary. But it would only be me and DH really as it will be a weekday and we don't feel we can ask any of our friends to take time off work to help.
The DC can go to childcare so at least they will be out of the way. We thought we could hire the car the night before and load it up at night - with help - so it is ready to drive the next morning.
Would we be mad to do this? Or is the saving worth it? We are going to be renovating the new house so every penny counts.

How bad will it be to move ourselves rather than use a removal firm
