First things first, let’s dive into decluttering like a boss! Take a page from Marie
Kondo’s book and give your belongings some love. Embrace the joy and bid farewell
to anything that doesn’t spark happiness. Trust me, you’ll be thanking yourself later
when you’re unpacking in your new abode and everything feels just right.
You can start the decluttering process as soon as you think about moving. From
giving things away to charity shops or using Facebook Marketplace to earn some
extra money, decluttering takes time. You’ll want to carefully consider everything
you’re keeping, and make sure anything you’re giving away has a great new home.
Next up, it’s time to gather your trusty packing supplies. Head over to your local
grocery stores or swing by the corner shop for some free boxes. Don’t forget to stock
up on bubble wrap and packing peanuts to keep your treasures snug as a bug during
the move. I like to keep mine from other packages from things I’m ordering and ask
friends and family to do so too, it soon adds up and saves money in the process.
Now, let’s dive into something truly exciting – consider opting for Hassle-Free Man
and Van Hire London. This could be a real game-changer! An Experienced Man and
Van London service can swoop in to assist with the heavy lifting and transportation,
making your move a breeze and freeing you up to focus on all the other bits and
bobs on your to-do list.
And let’s not forget the art of labelling like a pro. Grab a trusty sharpie and clearly
mark each box with its contents and which room it belongs in. This little step will
save you from the mystery box conundrum when you’re knee-deep in unpacking,
plus some movers even put things in the right rooms too. So put together a little kit to
label your new doors too.
But wait, there’s more! How about creating a moving day survival kit? Pack
essentials, pjs, coffee, anything you’ll need on that first day and night. This way,
you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips when you arrive at your new place
without stressing out searching through 50 odd boxes.
So, there you have it – a simple but golden guide to packing and organising for your
big move. With a sprinkle of planning and a dash of creativity, you’ll be settling into
your new nest in no time. Happy moving, friends!
