I’m a control freak – need to pack myself, however if anyone knows where to buy cheap boxes and stuff from, let me know?

I hate moving! But it is the one time I throw out everything I don’t need!

When we moved I number the boxes and wrote down on a note book what items are in what numbered box. It works very well too.

great idea! We are going to be moving shortly and I think I shall take this advice! Thanks

Labeling the boxes is really important. You could even make a sheet of paper with the number on the box, and write the most important items down. Otherwise looking for something can become really tiring! Success with moving!

Doesn’t hurt to make it a working bee, we did that when my sister in law and brother moved, a brother of their friends even drove his truck, everyone helped pack into boxes, pack into the truck and unpack at the new address, was actually pretty fun.

  Now that sounds like a moving party!

At least you can enjoy your packing!

Labelling the boxes is absolutely VITAL.

yes well you can avoid the packing so might as well make it fun

Great idea to mark everything especially what in the kitchen boxes, that way you can unpack the essentials first and everything else as needed.

And sort out before you pack!

Also; having a big clean out before you move is a good idea and does save on some unnecessary packing.

That is very true. I have no plans to move

I am never moving again… the next move will be to the dead center of town lol
