on Ch 5 wednesdays at 8pm, it follows Pickfords around the country moving people to their new homes, it's a really good watch but im surprised at how many people opted for the most expensive package where Pickfords pack everything for you including your clothes, I could never stand around watching other people packing my clothes etc, it makes the removal men uncomfortable as well as the home owners then stand over them checking they pack the right things

It's the second series Aimee, I am really enjoying it. I used the Pickfords complete pack service when we moved over 300 miles six months after my husband's stroke. It was enough for me to manage trying to cope with what I had to and I was determined that he would not have to lift a finger apart from getting in the car at one end and out at the other. It was a 3 day move.

I watched the first series as well 
it looks very interesting job, last week when they was in France was very funny 
and that couple who was staying a rented house for a month and the boxes kept coming and coming and there was just about enough room for them to sit down

Preferably while I was laying on a beach somewhere else I'd have to sort everything out first before they came, i'd be the sort of person who would tidy up before the cleaner came
When my husbands daughter,her husband, and family were returning back to the UK after living and working in Texas for 5 years, they got a shipping company in to do their packing etc. The workers were all Mexican,and seemed quite surly. When the unpacking was done at this end, they had even packed the contents of her kitchen bin and dustbin.
Seeking Salvage tonight 
Tomorrow The Laffin Devils which is always good for a laugh.

We think it could've have been because the daughter and hubby were very wealthy people, and the workers were paid minimum wages. But the daughter and son in law did give them a good cash tip in their hands, so they were very surprised when they got unpacked over here. The shipping company said that heads would roll, but we never heard from them again.

Pity you never heard back from them, I bet they were surprised when they unpacked, I bet they was looking for the kitchen sink as well
