Tips on moving home

I have recently moved home and would like to share my tips so that maybe someone can benefit and avoid just a little of the stress moving home involves! I have moved home before (on quite a few occasions) but this time found it very stressful. So here is my tips- 1) Don't start to pack boxes to early. I would start ten days before moving. My advice is to clear out all your cupboards etc. throw out stuff you don't want and have it ready to pack. In my experience, any earlier and you end up unpacking again looking for things, especially if you have children 2) Don't estimate sizes in your new home, always try and obtain exact measurements.

DON'T!!!!!!!! Lol no I am kidding! This is just the way I'm feeling at this minute in time as my poor little flat is full of boxes and all my shelves are empty!! Yes thats right in two days time I am moving from our flat to a nice little house! I can't wait but my goodness, the moving process has already been stressful!!! We currently live in a rented two bedroom apartment.

I have only moved a handful of times and when this has been from rented accomodation it has been fine and not too stressful and when i got my first house this was ok too however when i moved the last time i think it was one of the most stressful things that i have ever done!!

When you have to move you have to move. But oh my, can it be a traumatic experience! Here are some things that you might expect: 1) The unexplained law of expanding stuff All those years of living in a capitalist world has meant that you have rather a lot of possessions. But who would have known it until you got those moving boxes out and started packing it away? All those magazines! Old newspapers! 15 different brands of shampoo stashed away! 8 different cleaning products for the same purpose! Drawers full of items which appear to have no purpose! When packed up, these things magically expand to fill a much larger area than they ever could before. ...  Read the complete review

So the removal Van has just turned into the street, although you've been planning for months, packing for weeks and panicking for days, you have that feeling that you have forgotten something. Use this top 10 list to do a double check, and a triple check....... 1. TOILET ROLL. Put a spare loo roll somewhere accessible, you just know when you reach the new house, amidst the boxes and unpacking, someone will need the bathroom only to find...no loo roll! 2. TEA SPOON. Ok so you have managed to struggle everything out of the van, up the stairs and now you're in your new home surrounded in boxes and you're glad you packed a few teabags and the kettle handy, but ...  Read the complete review
