Plan Your House Move Without Missing Critical Deadlines

Moving house means a hundred small jobs, and the ones you forget are the ones that bite, the mail redirect, the meter readings, the council notification. This builds a week-by-week plan counting down to your move date, starting eight weeks out, so each task lands when it should. First-timers and rusty movers both get a clear order of play.
