Start packing your items you will need most of them empty or drained.It depends on their content.Draining process is required to the items and tools which have containers with liquids or water.Below a list with some items which you certainly should drain before pack and move them:

-drain fuel from lawnmowers,garage tools

-items which have petrol engines

-aquariums

-oil from the kichen fry machine

-water from the coffee machine

-plan pots of excess water

Before start packing and moving out you certainly will undertake some cleaning for your old home.It is a good idea to take to a professional dry cleaner your drapers,curtains,some clothes,sheets,and other textile items.Organize this at least one month before the moving day in reason to have them back on time.When you go at the local cleaner to take them back they will be packed in speacial plastic bags and will be folded too.What a great tip for you-you have a ready package for your move.Leave them wrapped when they are returned from the cleaner and put them in the correct box or suitcase.

If you are wondering how to caary out the heavy or awkward shaped items you can dismantle them piece by piece,pack the main boards and joints and move them out near the moving van.Other opportunity is to make handles.How?!Good question.Use a steady rope and make a loop which you can tie to the drawers hooks for exapmle.Before this is it good the measure the door exit and obtain if you can go trough carrying the item.Make sure that the rope is safe enouhg and will not brake in the middle of your route although it is short one.If you intent to make handles for the heavy wardrobe from the closet you can roll on the rope in two or three layers and make the loop after that.Use special and safe knots to tie the rope around the hooks.Check if the hooks are gorunded in safe because it happen to come up and break down which will cause you troubles and injuries.

Packing your metal items requires  to protect them first.There are a lot of metal elements all around your home.You will realize this when start packing,dismantling and collecting all join pieces.But you should watch out for the bigger metal items such as bycicles,mowers,scissors,knifes and some tanks and boxes.Metal surface items too.Consider if you should move them or use the garage sale and take away from your packing list.If you decide to move your bycicle you can oil the special elements before this in reason to avoid to have them rust after the move.You can treat with oil youir mower too and some other metal stuff which you will find in the garage and the shed.Avoid oil staining by storing exposed items in separate spaces.Take care for the wall clocks too as they have a special clockwork which need regular maintenance.Wrap the metal items with acid free and waterproof paper.It is recommended to use paper rather then plastic packing matreials.Do not leave them for storage too long time.

Moving to a long distance can make you feel a little bit sad.This is because you shoud leave the old quarter and all your best friends and good neighbours.Do not allow the distance to keep you away from your friends.Use all kinds of communication to contact them from time to time.Do not loose your trasure moments and memorries from your old home.You certainly will have new friends and neigbours but it is not a good manner to replace them with the old one.It is bad to forget the people from your childhood and the one who helps you in difficult moments.Yes your are living to a totally new place full with new people-but you will be the same person as before.Write your friends sweet e-mails,send them postcards and keep them in touch with your new way of living.

You certainly didn't have your stuff totally packed fpr just one day.So do not imagine to unpack in one either.Make a quick setting up of all essentials and take care for your family to feel comfortable in your new home,especially the kids.Mkae a top list with the rooms to unpack and put the kitchen,bedrooms and bathrooms first.Start unpacking following your inventory sheet and all labels,colores stickers and inscriptions that you've put while packing.Try not to get in obsessions to unpack your decorative items such as vases,paints and mirrors.Involve everyone in the process of unpacking and allocate the duties among the family members.Enjoy your new home and have fun while placing your stuff inside.

Pre-move expenses should be at the top of your moving checklist.These are expenses which are connected with choosing a moving company,looking for packing supplies and tools.Researchs for new home,new job and school.Have in mind that all these operations will cost you money and will be a part of your move budjet.Try to spent less money on investigations using the internet.A big part of these pre-move expenses will be connected with your car ot way of transport.Make a list will all the pre-actions you will do and put aside some money for them.

Moving to a new home predicts to have at least two sets of keys.The previous owner will privide you some or will leave you the original and advice you to contact a locksmith specialist.Do not rely on this.But be kind anf take the key ,give it back and organize a day for re-key all around your new home.You can never know if the old owners have given a key to the neighbours,relatives or some friends.Remember that the front door is not the only one which has lock and relevant key set.Take a look all around your new property and inspect how much locks you have.Calculate how much keys you will need and contact a locksmith to change the locks and give you the new keys.When the locksmith come you can ask him to check if there are some broken or sticking hinges and combination locks and to repair them.Do not forget for the garage and shed doors.

Being in a perfect conditon both health and mental is a general tip for your smooth move.You will need power and energy to handle with all the tasks and solve the arised problems.Perfect condition of your body and mind will help you to go trough this challenge.If you notice that someone from the family or you is getting ill take care immediately.If your childrens are sick ask your doctor for a home visit and let them stay in bed untill they feel better.But do not neglect this fact and try to be around them all the time inspite your busy schedule.If happens a serious disease at your family do not continue without taking care of it.You can contact your mover and postpone the date of your move.Your family is more important in moments like this.

If you are an adherent of beautiful,heavy and expensive carpets and rags you have to think about their packing.There is no way to put them inside the moving truck without any coverage or packing over.Carpets and rags should be among the first items to move.While packing them it is not necessary to separate them room by room.May be it is better to collect them together and pack them.Packing them is not so difficult but a technical procedure.Start with the bigest one.You will need a big free space for rolling them and pack with special free of acid paper or large plastic sheets.It depends on you to choose the packing material.You will asoe need a rope and adhesive tape to exalt the packing.Put the plastic or paper sheet at the floor.Make sure that it's perfectly placed on the floor and without any folded areas,especially at the edges.Lay over carefuly the carpet.Start to roll from the wider part of the carpet.Roll the carpet and the sheet together.When you finish  get up the carpet to a vertical positon and wrap with the rope starting from the middle.Use the adhesive tape to stick the edges and the places where the rope cannot reach the paper or the plastic sheet.Do not fold the carpet because you will damage its shape and surface.Remember to roll the carpet's surface facing the sheet.Packing the rags is more easier.You can use them as padding material for some fragile and not so steady items.Have in mind that you should put them at the bottom or at the top but not betwen the items.Some of the rags has fringes at their ends and they migh damage the other items.

Moving should be a secure procedure.You should look after noone to injure himself.If you are the organizer and the movers are in do not worry-they have passed all the secure instructions.But if you are handling with the loading to the moving van you should  be safe all the time.Starting with the packing.You should observe a strict weight of each box.There is no need to use a balance to see the weight of the box.Just lift it and if you are steady at your feets-the weight is ok.Do not lift the box from the top side,always from the bottom.After that look trough the way you will pass with the boxes.It should be free.Watch out for some mirrors or painting at the walls.

Most of the people use to have just their credit cards with them and some checks.During the moving day this payment "tools" will not help you too much.You will certainly need cash.What for?!Let' see.When you go travelling with your carafter or in front of the moving van (as a guide) you will stop for to have a quick rest for sure.There you will need a coffee which means that you have to manage with coins with the coffee machine.If your drinks over you should buy some-cash.There will road and parking taxes where you will use cash.For fuel too.If you are travelling to far distance you will have a night at a motel.Do not use your credit car at suspicious places.It is better to have cash-not big ammounts for sure.

Before you get started with the packing of your stuf you have to supply with packing materials.Some of them you have to buy ,other you have available at home.You will use all kind of paper while you are packing.Remember that there is no need to buy wrapping paper since everyone has at home shredder paper.Walk around the closet,the kitchen table and the kids' room and collect all the magazines,newspapers,old reports and bills ,even office papers.These are paper items which you will recycle anyway.Now you can use it for wrapping your fragile items or fill the top of the boxes.Have in mind that paper is a good isolator againt damages.It will protect your items during the travel with the moving van.

Start packing includes everything.You can not just leave the bigger or havier items at your old home as you will need it later.The same is in force for your winter stuff.These are items which will take more space and have awkward shapes.This make them more difficutl for packing.But you can hadle it.Just be more careful and have enough packing supllies for them such as paper,taxtile cover and padding material.Before wrapping the winter stuff you should clean all the items -skis,snowboards,sledges and other winter equipment you  have avilable at home.Take care for the sharpen edges and pack them twice or three times.Use some textile cover to prevent the polished surfaces of your items.Inform the movers for this kind of items so they can arrange the proper place for them.You can label them with special signs both fragile and dangerous.

Before you move out from your ld home make sure that you make all the necessary payments such as bills and taxes.The moving process is full of things to do.Check if you have pay the water,electricity ,gas and other supplies you use at your home.Don't forget to pay the internet and the cable tv.Ask the kids if they need some extra money for their last month at school and check with their teachers if each tax is paid.You can go to yout bank and inform them that you are moving.They will advice you if some additional information is necessary.If you have a last mothe mortgage to pay -do not forget to do it.You may have some problems with the sale later.It is really important to control your family budget and have clear notion for ehat you are giving your money and if you owe some money to an institution or a friend.

If you are grown enough to live alone or with your boyfriend -come on-move out from your parents house.It is time to handle with life by yourself.This is a big step escpecially for women.They put more emotions in this move.But it is the same procedure as if you are moving to another new place,town,country or even continent.Prepare all the items you will move and begin to pack.Don't take with you too much items.Think over the possibility to buy new one.If you intent to move biger items like furnure and some wardrobes you have to rent a moving truck or find a good moving company.Make sure that you will have enough space at your new home for everything you are taking with you.If you will live togther with some friends or with your fiance you have to observe other opinions and items too.It is good to coordinate each detail with the person you will live with.

Free way and cleared route is a general point in the moving day.When the movers come there should be enough place to cary out the boxes of the rooms.The hallways should be clean and without any obstacles.No boxes should be placed near the front door or alond the mover's road.It is dangerous to have something on their way -if it happen one of the movers to trip up he might injure himself and broke the box.

No sharpen items,toys,pets or kids should be around.Try to talk with them in advance and ask them go somewhere out till the movers are in.If your neighbours are interested in what is happening at your home -let them watch but in a good distance.You don't need guests today.

It is really your job to provide the movers free way to work.They are walking all around your home and in fact they are doing their job.Try to help them but not to be a stop sign.

Rating a moving company will be a pleasure for them and a good information for other people doing a research on moving companies.

If you have allready settled in at your new home and everything was perfectly done by the moving company you hired do not hesitate to rate them.Go directly at their site and look for a section where you can rate them or write a review.When writing a comment for the job they have done for you ,have in mind the following points in reason to be objective:

-the start of your move

-the estimation and packing services (if you request some)

-the moving day

-the moving van

-the delivery

-no damages

This information will be really helpful for the people who intent to move and are searching for the best moving company.On other hand it will be a plus for the moving company you hired.

You can also spread your impressions among your friends,relatives and even at your office.

 

If you are moving in or out of a loft or high-rise building you have to think how to convey your boxes to the moving truck or to your new place.Most of the high-rise buildings have a freight elevator.But is it not so simple to use it.You have to contact with the building manager and ask for a permission.This should be according the time permissions and you have to provide him the information concerning how much time you will need.He or she will give you an access to the freigh elevator -it will be a pass,special key or keycard.Inform the movers for the location of the freight elevator and try to obseve the time you have.Do not use the other elevator to transfer your items up or down because you can have some problems with the neighbours or the building manager.If you are allready aware of the fact that you have to use an elevator which is placed behind the central entrace-discuss this matter with the moving company in advance.It is possible to have an extra cost for this.

While you are moving everything should move together with you.That concerns to your money too.If you are moving to another city there is no option to go back and use the bank placed at your old town.You have to find a bank branch office near your new home or new working place.Go there and arrange the transfer of your money.You have to register as a new customer and fill some documents.It might be possible your old bank branc to make this as an internal transfer to its another branch-ask for this option.Go to your old bank and inform  them that you want to move your funds in one of their branches..Provide them all the information they need.Transfer all your money ,deposits and checks.If you have a credit card-you have to ask what are the opportunities to transfer this service to the new bank.Do not use another bank -just find a branch office of the one you trust on.You have to be precise and think for your money as an important part of your move.It won't be possible without your funds.

Delay is certainly not a point in your moving checklist.Beside all you have to be prepared to meet it.Be sure that you are ready to handle with a delay of your move operationally and financially.If it happens something to go wrong you have to act really quick.First of all try do everthing you can to stay one more week or more at your current location.Calculate how much it will cost you and what you will need to survive during this extra period.You can not afford yourself to waste too much money.Supply with food and drinks but do not buy too much provisions.Try to prolonge all the utilities you have cancelled because you will obviously need it.Rate your actions according your and your family's needs.Inform your relatives that you will stay at your old place longer than planned.Leave  a notice to the phone messanger at your new home.Don't forget to speak with your boss.It is important to spread the news that you are staying.

Packing is not only to put inside the boxes all your stuff.You have to be precise with the content of your boxes.You can start room by room.This is will be the way you will separate your stuff according the use.It is not recommended to mix your items.Don't put in one package the sheets and the alarm clock for example.Make an inventory list titling the room on top of each paragraph.This will help you for the unpacking and also will orientate the movers where to place the boxes and how to arrange the loading.The list with the rooms and the boxes placed there will be as a guide for the movers.If you have done everything proper the move will be very quick and all your boxes will be placed in the moving van without any risk to have damages during the discharge.Do not also mix your household's itemw with the other from the garage and the shed.Have in mind that each box's content is important for the movers.They have to know if the box is from the kitchen ,if there is fragile items,if the box is light and not full enough.This will help them to put each box on its proper place in the truck.

When you have allready moved to your new place it is a good idea to come to know it.This is not so easy as you think.You have to meet with some new challanges in the beginning.First of all you can go to work using different ways and in this way you can find some shortcuts.Do the same with the route to the central part of your new town and the quarter too.It it is a big city this will help you to avoid the busy traffic when you are in a hurry.

Weekends can be used for a walk in the local market streets.You can see how are the prices,where is the best grocery and your kids can find the most delicious ice cream.

When you are driving to get the kids from school you can go to the local library and become a member.

Also become a member of the tenis and swimming pool clubs and be regular.These are places where you can meet new friends and see your neighbours.

Do everything you can to know better your town and people living in it because you will be a part of all this.

You are moving because of a new and better job.This is very good for you ,especially in this situation of the world finacial crisis.But let the world goes and think for yourself and your move.

Transport is a general point in your move.If you have allready arrange the moving vehicle for your stuff you have to prepare your car too.Your family will not travel with the moving van for sure.You have to follow it.Check the condition of your car and be ready for any situation during the small or longer journey.

Have in mind that everything can ahppen on the road.You may go to a heavy traffic and delay.But don't drive with too high speed after that because this will cause you troubles with the police and will cost you money.Be a good driver and observe the law;each sign and the speed limits

If you loose the moving truck somewhere during the travel it is good to have the driver's phone number and communicate with him all the time.

Take care for your kids too.They will need some entartainments of you will have a longterm travelling.They should have their pocket games,some books,music players.You can also sing with them or tell a story.

Make your journey easy and nice for everyone from your family-even the dog!

You have a big house and your stuff cannot be filled in one moving van.This is very possible sceene and you don't have to be upset of this fact.It is important to give all the infomartion concerning the size of your stuf and to know how much space you will need.The movers will advice you if one truck will be enough or you will need two to move all your household.Two trucks can cause you just a little bit more organization and you will spend much time waiting the movers to collect all the boxes from your house and load them in the trucks.An important point is to ask the moving company if the two trucks will come in the same time or not.If yes,everything will be ok and according your moving checklist.But if there is no possibility the two moving vans  to be there at the same day and time this will impede the whole procedure.But don't panic.The moving will happen and you have to be  patient and wait the other truck to come.In fact you have no other choice.Act calm and follow your checklist.Evething will go smooth and you will be on time with your schedule.

Family budget is the general point in your moving.The moving process is connected in all its fields with cost,i.e. with money.If you are going to move because you and your family want to change your lifestyle-this means that you have in nahd enough budget to do this.This is good but a little bit risky-having in mind the financial situation in the present moment.Yes,you will have the money to move but this is not the only point here.It is good to calcualte your family budget in the best way which means to have enough money for living before,in present and after the moving.Sometimes it is possible to work overtime in reason to keep your funds,although you know that you have enough money.Family budget is not only for this moving of course.You have to make a special calculation for the costs -for the household (electricity,gas,food and other supplies),money for the children,money for you and your husband,some taxes, car support and fuel.All these are points wich are intergal part of your life and family budget.If you are titled to be the family accountant ,make the correct calculation and don't allow your money to be wasted.

Curtains and carpets are an impartible parts of your home.Probably they will be last to  pack.But this is not so good decision.If you pack all the items in one of your rooms and place all the boxes in the floor,the carpet will be on the bottom.This will cause you double work because you have to move all the boxes in reason to pull out the carpet.In reason to avoid this extra time and efforts just take away the carpet before you start packing your room.Rolled it up and prop it to the wall.In this way you will see it all the time and there is no risk to forget it.The situation with the curtains is a little bit different.You have really beaty colored curtains with interesting elements and embroideries ,yes you see them every day but this will not stop you to forget them.You think of them as they are a part of your windows.But if you are not so fond of them and want to have new one in your home you can just let them stay on their places and inform the real estate agent that you will leave the curtains in your home.This is the easy way.But if you really like it and allready see them in your mind in the new place and even decide which curtain to be at the kitchen,bedroom -than ask your husband or older son to take them down from the ledges.Fold them careful and use a polythene bags to pack them.If you intend to use a box for the curtains you can combine books (for example) on the bottom and bags with the curtains on the top.Remember not to put the curtains on the bottom of the box.Label the box and put a list with the content in front of it.

Shoes are also part of your life and lagguage for sure.You have to think for their packing too.It will be easier comparing the packing of the garments,toys or big items.If your shoes are placed in a special small closet in the corridor be sure not to forget them.Before starting the packing process take a decision which pairs of shoes you will need for work and after work.Choose two or three pairs and ask your family members to do the same.This will help you to know which pairs of shoes are not useful in the moment so you can start packing them immediately.Have in mind the season separation if you intent to use a big box for all the shoes.Separate the shoes according the use if you wish but this will need more boxes.If you have available the original boxes of some pairs of shoes-use them.Collect all the shoes boxes and put them in one big box.You can arrange them in two rows in the box but of course this depends on the size of the shoe box and the other big box you will use.It is recommended to use separation papper between each shoe.This papper will prevent them from some liguid "invasion" during the moving process.When you finish the packing ,label the box with "Shoes" and "First for unpacking".The shoes may damaged of staying too long in the big box.Inform the movers to be careful with this boxes and to match them in the correct place in the moving van.

The truck with your stuff is coming in front of your place.You have to be there a little bit earlier.The movers will need you there and you should act as a director of the whole process.Make sure that you know better your new place then the movers.For sure they will need special instructions where to place all the boxes,sack,bags and other packed stuff.There is now way just to put all the boxes in the middle of your front yard and to leave.If you have some special inventory labelling you have to follow it.Generalyy all the people are in a big hurry during this event and forget to take the list with the legends concerning the labelling.Ensure yourself that you have this list in your hand.This will avoid any chaos and mess in your new place and each room will have the correct boxes.You can separate this task between you and your husband or boyfriend.Take the kitchen ,bathroom and the kids room for you to follow over and the other rooms for him.This will fasten the discharging and really there will be no confusions and problems.If your intentions are to be help the mover be sure that nobody and nothing is on their way.They are smart people and will learn their lesson concerning the directions of discharging very fast and will need free space and some reminds from time to time to do their job in the most proffesional way.

It is not so strange that we mention mental problems.It might be possible if you or someone from your family is not abl to use with the moving.We all are humans.And of course the moving proces in to an easy one.It is not connected only with collecting,packing,arranging and keep and eye on all what is going around.It is a small game on nerves.Everything and everyine are in a hurry and the things are sometimes happening so quickly that you are trying to catch some terms and time is not enough.All this will make you more or less nervous.If this is not so scary for powerful persons thre migh be a person who will need to hide somewhere and to have a time for rest.Sometimes it will be necassary some professional help.Mental problems are not to be a crazy person but depressed and under presure.You can go to a doctor to ensure yourself and your family that everything is ok.Pressure is not the condition that will leave you calm amd smily.If you are the leader in your family and take the responssibility to handel with all concerning the moving process be sure that you have enough time to do it but not to hurry and every next step to be urgent and in the last moment.Time is a real important point during the moving.

You have to move and this is a fact.Another fact is that the time is pressing you and  you should empty your old homr bacuse of emergency.You also have arranged your new place but no free time to arrange the moving of all your items.Here you might think of storage in advance.This means that you can pack all your stuff in the most safe way and find out a storage place where to move it.Here the moving company is the best option.They will give you all the information and conditions you have to know about storage.And you should give them some information too concerning the sizes of your items,content of the package and time of storage.Of course all this cost money because your stuff will take space in the someones warehouse.Think over the plan to ask you relatives if they have some place in their garage or shed for some of your items.But in fact this opportunity is not so safe and on other hand all your relatives should keep an eye on your stuff every single day.Have in mind that it is not a good idea to give for storage your expensive and value items such as jullery,documents and etc.In case that there is no way to take them in you try to find a special safe to put them in and a security lock too.

Firbiture is one of your big problems concerning the place.So may be this is the point where you have to concentrate the storage process.Good packing with padding material and safe covers will prevent all furnishing items and will avoid any possible damage.

Another point in storage in advance is the time.Don't leave your stuff for too long time for storage.This will cost you money and the possibility of some kind of damage is increasing.

You might also make an isurance of your stuff in reason to be sure everything will be safe when it comes the moment to be moved to your new place.

Removal are not only prepartion of your goods and house for the moving process.When everything is ready ,the date is pointed ,even the hour and you are ready together with your family and the agent from the moving company there can arise a problem with the moving van.What problem you might ask?!A problem with no place to park the van-this is really serious and the first thing wich will appear is chaos and delay of all your plans.In reason to avoid this unconvinions you can stop this before it happen.It is not so hard but it takes time.Consider if your address is difficult to be reached for big trucks (moving van in this case) and inform the moving company for this.Other problem related with this is the place for the van tocan make manoeuvres.If the road is narrow it will need some place on the pavement or trough your neighbour's drive alley.Smith's living next to you might be angry seeing this scene so before it happens you can speak to them and infrom them that this is possible and will not cause them problems.You can match you moving schedule with all your neighbours living around your home.

If you are living in an apartment it will be more complicated especially if you are on higher floor.But don't worry.Look at your moving plan steps and try to arrange everything without embarrassing your neigbours.It is recommended to ensure a parking place for the moving truck early in the morning.The place have to be most ccloser to the entrance of the building and to not disturb the street traffic.Use some warn signs in front and behind the moving truck in reason to avoid some accidents.Next step is to organize the elevator being free for at least one hour in reason to move all your package downstairs.Inform your neighbours for the date and hour of your removal and hope that everything will be according the schedule.

Fridge and Freezer If you are moving a short distance away it is not so important to defrost your fridge or freezer. However where the food may spoil if left unfrozen for a long period it is a good idea to run the contents down over the last couple of weeks before you move.
Appliances If you require any appliances to be disconnected please have this done for the day of the move. If gas cooker needs disconnected please contact an approved dealer to do this. The removal men can disconnect washing machines or electric cookers if you require to do so.
Lamps Remove and pack where possible all lamp shades before the move as they can be easily damaged.
Beds Removal men can dismantle your beds if required, please ask. Alternatively you can do this yourself on the day of the move. Remember those important allen keys!! People from moving company are carrying own keys but some are odd sizes so check this out before the day of the move as you may have them packed already.
Flat Pack (Self assembly) Furniture This type of furniture does not travel well and it is better if you can make arrangements to have this dismantled before your move

Medication (Important) Keep your medical items in a safe place in the unlikely event of any emergency, medication or items such as asthma inhalers. Solicitors Confirm with your solicitor when you can collect your keys of your new home this will hopefully avoid waiting time. Scheduled Deliveries Don't forget to cancel any delivery services that you may have such as milk, newspapers and any other items that are delivered to your old house.

Remember they will be bill you for one months advance rental.

 

 

•           The night before you depart
  Where will you stay the night before you depart? A hotel or motel might be most comfortable and convenient, but you could save a decent amount of money if you stay the night with a friend or relative. Or, if you have the gear, maybe you'd enjoy unrolling your sleeping bag and "roughing it" on your living room floor the night before you leave town. If you do, try to get hold of a sleeping pad or air mattress, which will help you get a good night's sleep.

•           Overnight along the roadLook into motel discounts along your route. Your automobile club membership may qualify you for a better rate. When you call about them, ask if the hotel or motel includes a breakfast with your stay. If your move travel involves an overnight stay and you're game for camping, check into campgrounds and RV parks along your route. Be sure to ask whether a moving car is allowed. Some parks have size restrictions; some RV parks may not welcome moving cars and big families; and some limit the number of vehicles allowed in a campsite.

 

 

Food While Traveling" is one of those comfort factors that can make your move more enjoyable. Eating also gives you a reason to stop and rest, so here are some helpful pointers:

• Try to balance your need to save money with your (and your family's) health and comfort needs. Try to have at least one solid, nutritious, sit-down meal each day.
• Breakfast can be a budget - and schedule - friendly meal purchased at a grocery or convenience store and eaten on the road: fruit, muffins, and juice for example. Lunch prices at sit-down restaurants are typically cheaper than dinner prices. Consider having a hot lunch and then picnicking in your hotel or motel on supplies from a grocery store.

Moving is the process which needs all to be planned properly.First step is to decide what you will take with you to the new place and how should you pack it.When you see the ready list with the items you will move togther with you ,you will find that most of them should be marked with label "Fragile".Getting pack them is not so easy but below are some tips which will save your money,problems and damages.

• Kithcen utensils

Plates,saucers,cups,bowl,vases other glass utensils shoule be wrapped separately ,bundeled and stacked in sets of three or four.Each stack should be wrapped again before being placed in a cushioned box.

Stacks of fragile items should never lay flat.Bowls should be placed face down.Cups and glasses should be wrapped individually and then placed rim down in the middle or top layers of the box.

Extra delicate crystal ,figurines,knick knacks and fine chine should be packes with extra paper and or buble wrap.You may also pack these items in small boxes and them place them into larger boxes with a lot of cushion.

• Eletronic stuff

This kinf of stuff is supposed to be packed in the most carefull way in reason to avoid any possible damages.It is very important to record serial numbers and model numbers of cuoputers,stereo equipment and other electronics.

If possible repack electronics in their original boxes because they are more safe.If the original is not available,carefully wrap each item individually with layers of cushion on each side.Large screen televisions should be paddes and a large piece of cardboard should be taped over the screen but not directly to the screen.Also be sure that you have collected all your cables,switches and other spare items of your electronic equipments.To keep them save you can use small vacuum bags.If possible put this bag in each electronic's packing box.

• Mirros and pictures

When you are going to pack and move your mirrors and pictures you should be extremely careful and precise.When cinstructing mirror and pictures boxes ,fold along the creases and slide the boxes together.Typically,two pieces will be used for small pictures and four pieces for larger pictures or mirrors.It is also recommended to place two inches ot cushion (crinckled up paper) around the edges of mirror and picture boxes.It is really good to pack your mirror and picture boxes tightly to avoid shifting during moving.

*Note:It is strongly recommended to put label "Fragile" to all the boxes with electronics,utensils and other fine items inside.

 

Moving your house and furniture is really a serious planning project.When you have bought your chairs,tables,shelves you may think of keeping their joining schemes.They are useful not only during seting them in your home but when you are moving and you should dismantle all the furniture in pieces.Yes, in pieces.This is the most safe way to move all your wood ,textile or even glass.

It is recommended ,even obligatory to observe all the instructions in the working schemes and to disassemble all the pieces in the correct way.You should start from the end of the joining process in reason to follow all steps in the proper way.

For example if you start with the kitchen table.Put the table with its leg above.First disjoint the legs.Use  a small plastic bag with vacuum closing to keep all the small pieces like screws,wood or metal connections.They are really important when you want to assembe the table again.To disjoint the legs you should use a screw-driver or other special tools.After that you should use a special packing.Call it special because of the size.You cannot use a sample plastic bag and to put in the leg,because it will not match.You might use plastic folio,not foil which is made of metal fibres.Tape adhesive will be necessary too.The same with the top of the table.

A good step is to keep somewhere in your pantry the spare parts of all the furnishings you have bought.They will help you if you loose some parts during the moving process.

For the general packing (after the folio) you can ask your moving company for an advice.It is important to avoid any damage.

1. Do not wait to inform your children about moving. Tell your kids about the move as soon as possible!
It is natural to assume that the less time children have to think about moving, the easier it will be for them when the time comes. However, experts say it is actually the opposite. Children of all ages need time to get used to the idea of starting again somewhere new. Don't wait until the last minute. Remember to make it sound exciting – children love an adventure.
2. Welcome your children's questions about moving.
Open lines of communication will go a long way toward helping your children feel comfortable with moving. It is okay if you can't answer all their questions immediately, try and reassure them of any uncertainties they may have. Your children’s questions can give you a good idea of their true feelings about the move - whether they are excited, scared, or anxious. Some questions may also offer an ideal solution to help involve them in the moving process. Suggest that they have a look online to locate nearby libraries, parks, sports centres, and places which might interest them in their new area.

3. Have a positive attitude towards the move.
Your attitude about the move will influence your children's attitude too. If you dread moving, the move will then be seen as negative to them. If you appear to have an enthusiastic, upbeat, and positive manner about the new experiences and opportunities in store, your children will be more likely to share your enthusiasm. Talk to them about the new house, new bedrooms, new schools and new friends. Share any moving experiences you had as a child with them to reassure them.
 
4. Include your children in the move.
This is a good time to emphasize that the move concerns the whole family and that everyone will be part of the planning, packing, and perhaps even choosing the new home. Give children small tasks and ask them to think of things they can do to help. Encourage them to contribute ideas of how they can prepare for the move. Assure your kids that their contributions, however small, will be valued and greatly appreciated.
