    Just checking in, we've found a house to move to next month :D need to start packing eep. Anyone got any good ideas for where to get packing boxes cheap? We have some leftover from our last move but I don't think it will be enough.

    You can try that, but you need to go late at night - they all have a policy to shred boxes every night now...

    Alternatively, if you go to some shipment companies, they give you free boxes. There were a couple near me at uni, and a few people said they managed to get some there.
