We are moving in roughly 4 weeks. We already own the place we're moving to and our buyers won't be moving in for a few weeks after we move out so no pressure on moving in/out day. It's 10. Ins drive from our current house. We've lived in same house for 15 years so have lots of stuff but put a lot into storage before we put house on market. I want to get removal company to pack and move everything into new place and to unpack ourselves - nice and easy. DH is a control freak doesn't want removal company to move stuff in his garage 'as they'll break things' doesn't want them to move piano 'as they'll damage it' doesn't want them 'touching my clothes'. He says we can pack ourselves as we don't have much stuff left and it won't take long. We are rowing daily about it and I want to kill him as he's being ridiculous - we have loads of stuff still and it'll take us - ME OF COURSE - bloody ages to pack everything. He argues we can move in gradually - I say that way we'll have some stuff here and some there and it'll be infuriating- I want to move in one fell swoop, done, simple. Please help me make him see sense. He only wants removal men to move big heavy stuff and says we can do the rest in our cars - aaaaaargh! Or is his right? (Please says he's not)

We moved ourselves last time (3 bed house) and swore we'd never do it again. It was bloody hard work.
