2.ring round for quotes on removal firms - these vary greatly IME, best to look round and dont just go with cheapest as your furniture may not get their in one piece!(i used Sandersons- teesside last year and will prob use this time too)..also check when they need paying (best paying when work is done not upfront!)do they charge for travelling time, how many hours minimum and insurance for your valuables
- gut your present house!
we have a box of stuff which has remained unopened since our first house 8 years ago!..yes i
really need it, but best to chuck all rubbish now so you dont get charged extra to move it, then chuck it anyway!
plus, you might be able to make some cash selling stuff on ebay/car boots thru paper etc
4.try to arrange for children to be looked after, its difficult for us and not nice for them being shoved here and there while furniture being moved around.
erm...someone else help me out, i know theres loads more and im gunna need it in next few weeks!
