Things to do, on Moving Day.  

 - Children: Drop the children off or organise a corner of the lounge with some of their toys and a few treats. We have a few things to keep them happy on the Moving with kids page. Older children may want specific tasks, like packing up their own personal box or put in charge of making sure cupboards etc are empty.

 - Bathroom: Finish packing the toiletries box, and then take everything out of the bathroom that you want to go. You can now put all the bits and bobs that you don't want the removal men to take in the bathroom and shut the door.

 - Strip the beds: Put the linen into a box that is clearly marked or bin liners.

 - The van arrives: The team leader/foreman will introduce themselves and their crew. Show the team leader around the house and tell them exactly what is to go and what isn't.

 - Check every where: Once the van is loaded, take a walk around with the team leader to ensure that all the items to be moved have been placed on the van. This is your responsibility to make sure nothing is left behind. Check behind doors, in cupboards and on the walls. You would be surprised how often people keep looking at a clock on the wall, but never remember to take it down. Some companies ask you to sign a inventory list, check this carefully so that you are happy that all your items have been included. When you get to your destination and your items arrive you will be asked to check and sign again to make sure all your belongings have arrived safely.

 - Wave goodbye: If you are moving out of your home on the same day as your move day say goodbye. Have a last good look around for anything you might have forgotten. Check that all the windows and doors are locked when you leave.

 - Relax
