MODERATORS
I've decided I need a detailed and comprehensive moving plan to make sure everything goes smoothly for my relocation. After a lot of research and considerable thought, here is what I have come up with:
Step 1: Put everything in boxes
Step 2: Move boxes to new house
Step 3: Unpack all the boxes
I think I've got this.
Step 4: Cup of Tea
I shall exchange for coffee, as per my taste preferences. I have already followed this step 4 times today.
Second Alamutjones' Step 4. Include Step 5: Pizza
I know pizza on the floor is tradtional moving day fare, but as I already have the dining table up there I am going to break with tradition. The current plan is tacos.
Make sure there's air holes for those pets.
It would be handy if I could just pack them up. Pet wrangling is going to be one of the most complicated parts of the move. Miss Meow will be sedated and confined to a small pen at each end while the move happens, and my sister is going to be nanny for the day to Mr Woof - hopefully the weather will be ok and she can exhaust him with a couple of long walks.
label the boxes
I don't think I'm up to a proper inventory for everything, but I printed out some stickers to label which room everything belongs to. I'm writing a quick note on that of the most important bits I'm likely to want to look for first.
I did have a plan to use the orange fragile tape on all the last boxes I pack, as they will be the ones I want to unpack first, but I accidentally packed the tape with the rest of the stationey supplies, so I might have to do some "open first" labels instead.
