All you wanted to know about moving with children
 
1) Why do we have to move?
Because your mum or dad has found a new house or a really good job, and they'd be daft not to go. You're probably not looking forward to going much, but you'll soon get in the swing of the new place. After a few days you'll wonder what you were worried about.
 
2) Can I take my toys?
Yes, no problem. Pack the toys you want into the boxes the Fergusons man brings, then make up your own labels so that everyone knows that they are yours and to 'keep their hands off'.
 
3) How long will it take to move?
 If you're moving a long way it could take quite a few hours to get there. Ask your mum or dad to show you on a map where your new house is.
 
4) Can I still see my friends?
If your moving to a different area you may not get to see your friends very often, but you'll be able to send them emails if they're online and you could even try writing them a letter. It's also great fun to record tapes, mini discs or videos and send them to each other.
 
5) Can I take my pets?
There should be no reason why you can't take your pets with you when you move. You may need to make special arrangements so that they don't get in the way when your packing and unpacking. You will also need to make sure you have food and water available, if your journey is likely to take a while.
