A moving plan

22/11/2020

Moving home is often said to be in the top 3 stressful thing we can do in our lives, well while that can be true 
There are many ways you can reduce the stress or avoid the stress all together 

*And before I get into this article remember that moving can be stressful for both children and pets for various reasons 

*Make a plan 
Make a moving plan and stick to it


*what should be in my moving Plan ?

​​1*Start by writing a list of the tasks you need to do 
And it will need to be more detailed than just pack 
2* Write on the plan who is responsible for what task and what day it needs doing by 
(and where possible let your kids (if you have any that is) get involved in the move so they feel involved and not left out. 
*Tips for moving with Children can be found here 
*And please ensure that you have no packing to be done on the morning of the move as that will increase the stress levels*
3* On the packing plan where you have the dates things need doing by, start packing early as possible, and list items that can be packed away first as they will not be needed and can be packed earlier as well as listing items that should be packed last* 
*some items will not matter when they are packed *
*And list any items you don't thing you will be needing
4 *And plan in to the moving planning a decluttering As after all what is the point of taking unneeded or unwanted items 

5 *Write a list of the people and companies/Organisations that need your new address 
(Tv licence , gas , water , Internet , phone , Doctors etc )
*And if moving aboard Let the tv licence people know the date your moving aboard and that your moving aboard*
*and don't forget to update with the Dvla your driving licence address *
*And it is a good idea to set up with the Royal mail a redirect service for your mail *
https://www.royalmail.com/personal/receiving-mail
Moving with pets don't forget to either let the vet know the new address or to register with a new vet 
And don't forget to update your pets Mirco chip when you move 
​
*and as you sort the people /companies that need the new address out tick them off the list *
6*Make sure in the moving plan you allow yourselves plenty of time , you do not want to be rushing around 
7* And make sure that as soon as you know the moving dates you book the mover you want to avoid the risk of them been fully booked if you tried booking closer to the moving date
8* In relation to the above when you start the moving plan before even knowing the exact date you should start looking for the mover you want and doing research on the Mover
(Reading feedback , checking their terms and conditions etc ) 
​9*when looking around for the mover I would suggest that only one person is responsible for this task to avoid duplicating work and causing confusing of oh have you do this or that , which movers has x spoken to or have they spoke to Y if one person is doing that stage there will be less confusing of course discuss what you have found out with your partner etc as applicable 
10* Write a list of questions you have for the mover out during the initial moving planning so that you can tick them off as you are in contact with the mover and know what you need to know

Summing up 
  • Write a list of tasks needing doing 
  • Write who is responsible for each task 
  • Set deadlines for each task to be completed by (allowing sufficient time )
  • Make sure everyone is aware who is doing what 
  • Do your research on movers 
  • Book the mover you want as soon as possible (don't leave things to the last moment )
