Moving home is one of the most stressful things you can do\nin your life. Packing up all of your belongings is not easy and then organising\nto transport them from your old home to your new one in just one day can leave\nyou tearing your hair out if you\u2019re not careful.  However, there are a few tips and tricks that can\nhelp turn a stressful situation in to a more calm and organised event. Nobody\nenjoys the process of moving house but these ten top tricks from our friends at\nCambridge Self Storage<\/a> can\nhelp make it just that little bit easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Make a list\u2026..or 6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Writing things down will be your saving grace when you move\nhome. You might not think it now but you will certainly think it as you begin\nto pack up your belongings and again when you try to find them all in your new\nhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keep a record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a simple record system so you know what is in each\nbox and where in your new house it needs to go. You may want to colour code\nthis system to make it easy to see what box goes where when you arrive at your\nnew home. Consider storage units for your most unused boxes and make sure\nthey\u2019re taken to their temporary home first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Moving strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter if you are moving a short distance or relocating\nto the other end of the country, organising your moving strategy in plenty of\ntime allows you to organise transport and arrange timings for the big day. You\nmay be employing a moving company or just getting together a few helpful\nfriends with big cars; either way, organising early will cut stress on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Keep your movers in the loop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you know you are going to be moving several big and heavy items then it is vital you let your moving team know beforehand. You don\u2019t want your move delayed because they don\u2019t have enough men to lift your grand piano or enough room in the van for your 3 door fridge freezer. Better still use professional packers and movers such as PackAndGo <\/a>to avoid additional stress and hassle if you have extra large, unusual of valuable possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. De-clutter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take this opportunity to get rid of all the clutter and old\nclothes in your home as you pack. Gives you less things to pack and you can\nfinally get rid of those flairs you\u2019ve been waiting to come back into fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Use your luggage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use suitcases and duffle bags to transport clothes on your\nmove. They are easily recognisable and you can put in all of your favourite\nclothes so even if unpacking each box takes millennia, you will still have your\nfavourite jeans and hoodies when you want them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Personalised boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grab a couple of cheap, coloured plastic boxes; one for\nevery member of the household. Everyone can then put in some bits they will\nneed immediately after moving such as phone chargers, a towel, toiletries and a\nset of bedding. Then no matter what time you arrive at your new home you all\nhave at least the basics to last until you can face the mountain of boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Keep important paperwork with you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Birth certificates, passports, etc. should be kept with you\nduring the move and not shoved in a box in the removal van to ensure they are\nsafe and you know exactly where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Keep pets out of the way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a pet it is a good idea to find someone to\npet-sit them for a day or take them to a kennel or cattery just for the day\nwhile you organise the move. A pet is likely to be spooked by all the activity\nand you run the risk of them running away or just being under your feet\nthroughout the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Keep the tea bags and cups handy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pack your cups, kettle, tea bags and milk last as moving\nhouse is thirsty work! A good brew has the power to make things seem brighter\nand your moving men will sure appreciate a good cuppa too. \n\nFollowing the tips above can make your house\nmove much e\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
