The Moving Day
- Don’t panic!!
- Take the removal men round your house explaining any concerns you may have and show any items not to be moved
- Once they have finished, walk through the house with the men once again to ensure everything has been taken that should have been and nothing has been taken in error. You should also check all of your cupboards at this stage.
