My colleagues, friends and family have been nagging and asking for some time... When are you moving?!
Up until last week I lived in a area that wasnt considered “nice” or would be referred to as the “Ghetto”
I rented a bedroom in a house shared with 9 other people (yes it was very crowded) and my housemates and I did not always see eye to eye, yet I persevered with living there for 19 months.
Why?
Because it was cheap and there was hardly a deposit to pay.
After travelling Europe in 2013/2014 I arrived back in England, Single, no money, no home but fortunately (if you can call it that) I breezed into a job with a company I absolutely despised! - but thats a whole different story!
I paid £390 a month bills included and lived right by the City. it was perfect for little old me. Yes I got stalked on a few occasions walking home late at night but that what a lighter a can of antiperspirant was for right??
As aforementioned after 19 months me and my boyfriend have finally made thee move to a Lovely Town, Stony Stratford in a cute 3 bedroom town house and it could be more perfect.
the only problem was the fucking move itself!!!
Luckily I have good friends whom were able to offer their assistance and I could have done it with out them!
See below my top tips for moving (especially if you are as disorganised as myself!!):
Bin Bags/Refuse bags - they are your best friend!! if you haven't packed in advance and have ultimately left it until last minuet, fuck folding your clothes! forget grouping your shit together... just chuck whatever you possibly can into 20 - 40 refuse sacks... job done!!
VAN! - moving van to rent? with Facebook, Twitter and Word Of Mouth surely someone you know may possibly be ablee to loan you a van in exchange for baked goods or pizza... right?
Under 25? sorry buddy but you wont get insured to drive that Van but if you know someone who is over 25 and they have permission from the owner.. they can drive that van for you and you might even be able to rope them into helping you move the heavy stuff!! - killing to birds with one stone!
UnPacking - if you are working full time like myself... just get the essentials unpacked at first, standard kitchen utensils, your shower/bathroom stuff. Your Clothes for work for the week and PJ’s! and most of all make up and a hair dryer.
Take as many tea breaks as necessary- moving is extremely stressful and you deserve a break.. or two... or three.. actually its a 7 days later for me and all i have done is the above + my lounge is in some sort of shape but hey we lead busy lives and there is only so much wonderwoman can do!
