Anyone got any tips, not the obvious stuff but the checklists everyone seems to forget like finding out types of locks for the insurance??

If your renting, make sure there is a working phone line. There is nothing worse than paying out to put in a line just for a landlords benefit long term

middle of no-where

Forward your mail, takes a week to set up so do that before you move.

Also worth finding out what day the bins are emptied before you move, nothing worse that missing it when you have a load of packing paper and boxes to get rid of.

Check with doctor that you are still within there catchment area and if not reg with one in new area.

Then the usual phone, Internet, gas, elecy, voters rolls, insurance, pet insurance,vets, chip details if you have any pets. Banks, credit cards ect

God I forgot how much moving was a pain in the arse lol

Mind and tell your work amazing how many forget to update their work or union. Driving licence as well I forgot that one. Car insurance and dvla always going to be something you miss but priorities like bin day and takeaway menus and good pubs lol

Don't need to forward mail, everywhere is notified and my old place still has a friend living in it... so if anything important comes in I'll still get it.

Hot damn that's a good one! bins! need to find out if the property has a bin calender or where i can nick one from.

but i like my doctor... yeah i guess that's probably a good idea.

Internet is my number 1 priority after breathing

Half past never! lol

Already pissed off all the neighbors where i live now with my stalker ex showing up and screaming like a lunatic... I'd like to get one with a couple of my neighbors for once.

I'll even try to refrain from trying to bang the hot ones!
