Make a plan. Preparationis the key to success. Make a

list of everything that needsto be done well in advance,for example, organisingremovals, informing theutilities companies that youare moving, having mailredirected and compiling alist of all the organisationsthat will need to know aboutyour change of address.

Declutter your home. Somany people waste their

time and energy packingthings that they never use.Moving house is a greattime for a big sping clean sobe ruthless go througheverything as you pack andif you havent used in it thelast year then throw it out,sell it or donate it to charity.

Label everything clearly.Ensure that all boxes anditems of furniture areclearly labelled so thateverything is put in theright room in your new
