THE DAY BEFORE YOU MOVE
- Do a thorough, final sweep of your house to ensure you haven’t missed anything. This is best done when all your boxes and items are packed into one room. Look behind cupboards, under beds, behind the couch and down crevices in the kitchen. Take your time – if you do it properly the first time, you won’t get anxious about it on the day.
- Strip the beds and pack the bedding material – this can be taken with you in a box so you can put it straight back on the beds when you arrive.
- Ensure you have the keys to your new house, or have arranged to collect them.
- Inform friends and relatives of the time of your move and arrange to have several of them “on call” should you need help.
- Prepare a Moving Day Survival Kit.
