    I'm in the process of moving both home and my business, before I started I had a full head of hair, now I'm balding and going grey.

    Any tips to make the transaction between old and new home easier?

    I love moving house. I´ve moved house about 20 times and moved country 3 times and no... I´ve never been in the services. Would you like me to come and lend a hand Darren?

    Don't do it, I did it three years ago, same as you house/businesses and it was tough, plus the fact I bought an old house that needed work so we had to live through some construction/decoration for months and months, nightmare.

    You'll get the RoyalMail to forward all mail on to you for 3-6 months which is handy, make sure necessary things like phone lines/broadband are sorted in advance and make sure the fridge has alcohol stored for stressful evenings when you can't find anything, good luck!

    You have my sympathy. I just moved - just got back online last night. The house is a mess of boxes still, so most of my days are spent unpacking. This was my third move in eight months, so I really hope this one sticks. Landlord only gave us a 6 month lease after initially talking about wanting a year lease - my income coming from a home business makes her nervous.

    I am already in a shed. You are welcome to the cardboard boxes at the foot of it though.

    My only suggestion is to make sure you don't have to do it again anytime soon in your new place. :)

    Yes, forgot about the tips part. Throw away everything that you haven´t looked at for a year. If it has dust an inch thick you do not need it!

    Direction's to Mella: Through the red light district, over the canal bridge, past 3 cheese shops, and it's the third windmill from the right. Put on the magic clogs and follow the red brick road...
