Pay the removers to pack. Best £200 we've ever spent (this was the difference between them packing and not packing for us if I remember rightly).
Because it was only a flat we were moving out of and we weren't moving far, they arrived at 8am, packed our stuff, and moved it, all in one day. So, until the day of the move our home was completely normal. Ordinarily they pack the day before removal day.
Not MSE I know, but it's the easiest way to do it. They pack unbelievably quickly and get more in each box than you will yourself.0 -
