Include a survival kit for the other end: light bulbs, toilet rolls, candles, screwdriver and pliers, matches, paper towels, cash and a note of important telephone numbers.
Ensure that the keys for your new home are going to be available.
Defrost and dry out your fridge /freezer if you are planning to store for any period of time. Remember! Foods cannot be moved into storage.
Place the contents of the freezer in polythene bags so that they can be lifted out quickly to facilitate the movement of the freezer.
Make sure any packets bottles or jars are sealed with tape to prevent spillage.
Pack valuables and documents and put in a safe place.
Organise parking arrangements.
Obtain parking permits if needed.
Ensure lift access if you live in flats.
Arrange for refreshments for the next day, bearing in mind that your cooker may be disconnected. Moving is hungry work, so pack a flask of tea or coffee, UHT milk, juice, cartons, biscuits, fruit, cheese, and something easy and filling like cornish pasties. Also include plates, cups, serviettes, cutlery and a sharp knife. Don't forget the kettle, a saucepan and a frying pan.
Plan the evening meal for move day. It may be easier to eat out.
Prepare plants for travel.
Get a good night's sleep.
Strip the beds. Keep the linen in a box that travels with you so you can pull it out for the first night.
Settle the children with their carer. If they are staying with you, organise a room with their toys and a few treats.
