I have just had the most traumatic week. DH was persuaded to visit the GP on Thursday last week after 4 days of increasing stomach ache. GP sent us straight to hospital and on Friday afternoon he had an emergency op for a perforated appendix. He is hoping to be home later this week after his IV antibiotics finish and although he is very fit for a 70-year old - he cycles about 200 miles a week- we are waiting to move house 100 miles away and I know he will not be able to do all the packing /lifting etc.and neither will I manage it on my own.

So I have been wondering about getting a removal firm in who will pack it all up for us - we can then sort it at our leisure in the new house when he is stronger. Has anyone any experience/tips about these firms?

I have moved twice in the last year and have some stuff in storage... I would like to know if there is a firm that would just pack for me so I can then hire a van to take stuff to my storage place. In other words I need packing but not removals. Can anyone advise me?

Do you have a suitcase? Years ago i overheard a colleague who was always moving say pack as if you are going on holiday and it saves you a lot of stress in the first week! Also removal firms are very good at packing as they do it all the time. Wish you all the best.
