After the move

You've survived the big move and are ready to kick back and relax!.......well just about, there are all these boxes to unpack. Here are some pointers for after the move.

• Give electrical items a chance to get to room temperature before you operate them.
• Expect to feel a bit 'blue' a couple of days after the move. It happens all the time and doesn't mean you hate your new home - just that the move and the thought of unpacking has taken its toll on you a bit.
• Call your friends and family to let them know you've moved safely.
• If you feel up to it throw a housewarming party!
• Keep your kids occupied and give them lots of attention - they'll probably be unsettled by the move. Make time to have some fun!
• Check for damage as soon as you can - some insurance policies only give you a specific time to make a claim. Miss it and you won't be able to claim.
