Packing need not be the nightmare it is often pictured as. A few simple measures can make your move as painless as possible.
Firstly, any items that you may need during the move should be kept seperately and not packed. These include
money and credit cards, personal items for during the move (toiletries, change of clothes, medicine, food and drinks), a medical kit and if you have children it would be a good idea to have some sort of games or activites to keep them busy during the move.
For general packing, boxes of all sizes, bubble wrap and cushioning material, marker pens, packing tape and scissors should also be kept to hand to ensure your packing is done in a neat and organised fashion. Another useful tip is to label each box with the whatever room in the new home it is to be delivered to.
