Bound to be something 😕
Hide bag of prawns
Recover the bag of 90s hedge porn from behind the water tank .
Best of luck Geoff!
Firstly best of luck.
Secondly don't forget the cat.
Book the removal lorry?
Thanks guys
Cats off to cattery in an hour
Digital pron is so much lower maintenance
Just gotta write the instructions for the heating 😡
Movers arriving
We found a Lover's Guide video tucked behind a joist in our under stairs cupboard when we moved inRecover the bag of 90s hedge porn from behind the water tank .
Take photos of the meter readings at both properties.
Lift the carpet, write "I WILL KILL AGAIN" on the floor in red paint, put the carpet back. They probably won't find it immediately.
Mail redirect?
Lol @ SJ!
Have you released the gimp from your fetish dungeon? 😆
Other than that, liking SundayJumper's suggestion 🙂
More serious suggestions:
Insurance(s)
Utilities
Mail
Keys (new and old)
Instructions for new owners of your house - alarm codes, boiler etc
TV licence
Beers for when you get finished!
Taken the lightbulbs out?
JOKE!
just unscrew them a fraction.
write the new owners a little list of things that are peculiar to that house, eg, the shower always leaks on the left hand side, the bulb in the hall always goes pop after 2 weeks, the neigbours are ****s: don't discuss 'foreigners' with them.
Let your family know?
Take meter readings of both properties.

Let your family know?
You're sick.
We forgot to retrieve about 400 spare keys from relatives.
Read the meters.
Pack all your valuables / holiday cash / handbag (yours and the wifes) put them in a bag and lock it in your car.
Also passports / ipads / ipods etc - but they are identifiable so less likely to be nicked.
Yes our removal men stole from us 😥
& take a photo of the meter readings now - you wont remember on the day
Buy a new house?
Oh - the keys thing reminds me - our new house had been rented so we did not know how many keys were around with various agents and cleaners.
Pretty cheap to replace the locks - both the cylinder type and yale, you can replace the key bit only.
Put the kettle and some cleaning supplies in a separate box so that you can have a cuppa in your new place without searching through a hundred other boxes? Include teabags and biscuits as well.
Meter readings +several.
If it's not too late pack overnight bags for everyone. Pack all the stuff you would normally take for a few days away. Keep those bags in your car and then put them somewheere easy to access. It means you can get showered and changed without searching everything looking for towels etc.
Take a dump in the loft.
broadband?
Remember your cast off house is someone else's exciting new life. A bottle of fizz and a card hoping they will be as happy as you were is always a nice touch.
Then leave a gimp mask and a cow bone 'hand cuffed' to a joist in the loft.
Did they hammer you on the price? If so .... top deck before you leave 😉
Buy a isolator valve thingy in case when the house you are buying from has had the washing machine yanked out, valve broke and water turned off.....luckily not hot water not a huge issue in June. No heating in Dec however equals grumpyness
If you're Philip Hammond - try to remember which of your houses to send your furniture to.
Well the packers are almost done - just the garage to do.
Just had the 'how many bikes?' conversation 😆
good luck. I/we hardly ever move. moved into a flat in 1984, about 12 years later into a house, 12 years after, this house - that was 12 years ago. Hm.
But to be fair out movers were very good.
Everything out of the loft? When I bought my house from a couple of lovely gentlemen I found a box of Christmas decorations, a game of trivial pursuit and a large black dildo in the loft 😯
One last five knuckle shuffle
Good luck with the move. The hardest bit, dealing with estate agents and solicitors, is done.
I'm hoping this is my last move until we downsize.
Finally get round to the pesky task of burying the bodies in the the cellar.....? Just me that's been caught out then
