Any Moving House Tips

misslee1888

Is there a thread with moving Tips. I have been looking and can't find it. If there is one, can someone tell me where it is, if not can we create one.

I am moving in a few weeks and dont know where to start.

Try https://www.moveme.com or https://www.iammoving.com both of which have lists of things to do on them that are quite handy.

We're moving house on Saturday :eek: and still seem to have loads to do!

The kitchen is always the worst Biff

label each box with a number and the room its for. then when moving u know what room to leave it in. the numbers r so u can make a list of whats in the box - means u can find the kettle good luck!

never done it but i always liked the idea of inflateable furniture, just a couch & seats in case the delivery van does a bunk etc only about £5 and you have an emergency seat

Unfortunately for us, we're moving with less than 2 weeks notice, so didn't have time to clear out the loft and ebay a load of the crap that we seem to move from one loft to another! We now have 80+ banana boxes in the dining room, still got a bit of packing to do in the kitchen, loads of furniture, freezer, washer, cooker etc etc etc............... and there's loads more boxes in our bedroom too! :eek:

Thankfully the kids are stopping at their Grans tomorrow night, and we have friends coming on Saturday to help us load the van, but I fear we may have to do two trips... which wouldn't be too bad if we weren't moving 55 miles!

I sold 1 sock on ebay once just as an experiment.

What. An experiment to see if any one-legged men used e-bay?

Enlighten us balders.
