When I moved to where I am now, I had hardly any stuff. No chairs or sofa, no carpets, no wardrobes, just a mattress to sleep on. It took up one little corner in this massive van. 23 years later, I want to move again. This time it will be an industrial operation with a whole 2 bedroom house full of furniture and stuff.

Moving is the worst. In the UK there are various 'compare man-and-a-van' sites that rely on reviews to rate people - I got mine through there and they're much more likely to turn up and be careful with your stuff because they need you to leave a good review đ . Good luck x

Ive been through the same stress and anxiety every time i move. It has a detrimental effect on health, mental and physical. After a month or so i begin to notice that i have made it my home and that some old doors have been shut and that new doors have opened. I have recently realised that im like a crab, my old shell becomes cluttered with bad associations, memories etc. and by moving into a new shell i can live and breathe again. I wonder if that's how you feel about too? đ§ đ

If you don't have enough boxes you can saran wrap the books and save the boxes for other stuff.

Moving is so stressful! One thing I've tried is hiring help and/or van/truck for only the heavy, big, or awkward items so it's less expensive. The rest I managed with several trips and friends. Wishing you the very best in finding your next home and moving đ

Well you it can't be more chaotic than Frank Spencer LOL

I am also moving house soon. Not looking forward to the packing process.

Youâve definitely been and gone by now, I really hope your viewing went well. Iâm in Australia, but I had a very similar experience last time I moved. The anxiety of going to inspections and having to do applications, especially as someone who isnât employed, is just terrible. Dehumanising even. With the actual move, itâs me and my partner and we luckily have a car and both drive, but it was a lot of back and forth and a big struggle. Good luck, sending my positive vibes â€

đ€Ł Borrowing the shopping trolleys: I like your style! đ

I also have to move soon.

I think they think that how do you move because The place you move to is Not familiar to you But you forget it is familiar because you pick the property you obviously like the property or willing to put up with the property before you move in

Iâm moving next year and already shttng myself! My father is also dead and I do not speak to my mother and sister. I donât have a lot of stuff left from my unexpected relocation in 2021âŠbut my goal is to get rid of everything I can before moving again. The older I get, the more having âstuffâ and âthingsâ stresses me out.

Moving can be so exciting. New blank walls to decorate!!!
-
Good luck! I hope you find somewhere lovely!

Hope the viewing went well! Good shout with the clothing to protect fragile stuff, towels are also great and maybe even a bit more padded. One thing I've repeatedly found annoying when moving is getting the utilities like water and energy transferred without ending up paying the old supplier for a chunk if the previous occupant. If you get a place where utilities are included in the rent, that's at least one less thing of admin BS to deal with.

Best wishes for your move!! I've moved so often I just kept all the boxes folded up - I've had some of them well over a decade, since we moved from London to Suffolk!! We're just thinking about moving again, but now we have the extra complication of having to sell the house we're living in, which neither of us have ever done before đ±

sending you good vibes!!! truly hope it goes okay. i moved countries a couple years ago and gosh it really is a lot and i think i dissociated a lot during that too. you deserve to feel safe and comfortable, really hope everything works out alright! â€

I hope everything went well with the viewing! Every time I've had to move I've done a really messy/chaotic job at it. So much has been broken and lost but once it's done I deal with it and adapt as best I can. I've always been better at helping other people move because all I have to do is haul stuff from place to the other and I'm done. My little sister has moved so much and I've been there every single time. She's not autistic but she's just as messy and chaotic at it as I am lol
-
Good luck with the move ! I never really moved except once when I was two and out of dorms. Now I have so much stuff that I don't know how I'd do it.

I HAVE to move my partner and I to another apartment in less than 2 months and I canât even focus on apartment hunting. This is going to be a mess.
