Moving House: Involving your children on move day
Moving in T- 4 sleeps. Actually moving day with the kids is not going to be too painful (she says giggling knowing she will be in work!).
Both boys are at school, unfortunately this means hubby will have to pick them up at 3 o'clock and they will be under feet after that time. So around about unpacking the van time unless we can find/ bribe someone to look after them
So just how do you cope with moving with little feet around? Hopefully this guide will help whether you are going 10 minutes up the road like us and have them for half the day or whether you are going hundreds of miles with them in tow all day long. If you can think of anything I've missed please mention it in the comments for others to see.

Moving House: Move Day
Even without any kids to bring into the equation there is still LOTS to do when moving house on Move Day.
Whether buying or renting this guide should help you prepare (even it everything else goes wrong...)
Make an essentials box/es
Yup I mentioned it in the kids post and I'll mention it again as it's the most essential element.
Pack a moving-day essentials box containing snacks, kettle, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, mugs and spoons. Don't forget to add loo rolls, general-purpose cleaner and any medication you might need, it's always a good idea to add paracetamol/ ibuprofen too, just in case.
Make sure these boxes are either unpacked first or travel with you so they do not get lost.
If you are making more than one trip you may want to buy a cheap kettle to have one for each house. It can be very thirsty work!
If you are making sandwiches do these in advance, buy fruit and have bottles of water to hand, personally I find it easier to have a good cooked breakfast in the pub and snack during the day or have normal brekkie and pop to Greggs or Subway for a takeaway lunch.
