Moving week has finally arrived. We have been living with boxes for what feels like ages now but it is now really happening - we are moving house!
I've looked at moving checklists, moving tips, change of address list - I've searched online many at time for some inspiration or organisation to this move. But there is only so much you can do before the big moving day and there is a limit to how organised we can be.
I like organisation, hubby likes clean & tidy so we are both really struggling to get our head around these past coupe of weeks living with boxes, packaging & stuff just lying all over the already cramped flat.
You wouldn't believe the amount of stuff we have accumulated over the past 4 years in our wee flat. We had several clear outs & several trips to the dump! & still we have enough stuff to fill 3 cars & a lorry!

| This is how I imagine move day! |
Onwards & upwards.
I may be a little quiet over the next few days due to the move & getting our internet connection sorted in the new house. So I will leave you with some pictures of the chaos we have been living in! & my biggest tip for moving:
Don't take anything you don't really need - be brutal with the clear out. Remember you have more stuff than you think you have!! Oh and start early!!!

(a lot of exclamation marks in this post but forgive me I am a little excited)
How exciting! Hubs and I are moving next month. I keep telling him we have more stuff than he thinks but he won't believe me. lol. I'll have to follow your advise and throw things out that we don't need. :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly you just can't believe the amount we have thrown away & we still have loads & loads!
DeleteStart your clear out as early as possible next month will quickly appear! Good luck with your move & any more tips I'll let you know!
Good luck! I know Moving Day is coming for me in a year or so and I'm trying to get started by clearing out early...but then I think what's the rush, I've got a year...
ReplyDeleteA year is a great length of time to get properly organised & have a great clear out - gives you time to sell, donate, recycle all your stuff. JUst keep in mind a year can come round very quickly! Good luck with your move when it comes around!
DeleteGood luck with the move! I moved this pass weekend (it was only to the flat upstairs but I swear moving further a field is actually easier) and had a massive sort out as well.
ReplyDeleteI saw a comment you had put on another blog saying you lived in Scotland, so I wanted to come and say hello, I love finding other bloggers in the UK.
Aw thanks - moving is stressful where ever your moving to!
DeleteI have added your blog button as I am also on the look out for other bloggers in the UK!
Congratulations! I extend my biggest good luck thoughts for you, I've had such bad moving experiences in the past! Only three months ago I was left stranded in central London with an apartment's worth of belongings with no way to move them, get a good self storage team on your side and you won't regret it! Are you based in the UK? You need somebody like ABC Self Store behind you.
ReplyDeleteI am based in UK & we are moving ourself! So van being loaded by the men in my life on Thurs & unloaded at new house on Fri! Fingers crossed this will all go smoothly!

Hi & welcome! I too now have you in my reader & look forward to reading more about you!
ReplyDeleteI’m moving to a new flat in a couple of months; I dread the amount of things I have accumulated over the years. I wish myself good luck and the people coming down to help me move all of my things. Haha! Anyway, congratulations on your new house! Isn't moving in a great way to start the year?

That picture above was awesome, I can't imagine if that car can move fast, given its overloaded baggage. By the way, I'm looking forward to move for another residence a few miles from my present location. canadian movers

I find the picture amusing. How were they able to put all their stuff above that car?But it seems that it's about to clank any moment, eh? Hehe. I found it hard to search for your dog, by the way. I thought he's one of the stuff you need to pack on the boxes. :p
