6. The name of the game
Label, label, label. Don't just label boxes by where they're going; label where they've come from as well. You'll have a much better idea of where to find that elusive vase for the welcome flowers the new neighbours have brought you, because you'll know exactly where that was in the old house. Label boxes on the top and at least two sides (four if you can't be bothered to be careful about how they're put down). That means you won't have to lift every box to find out what’s in it. Make some signs for the new house (Bedroom 1, Bedroom 2, Office etc) so your move-day helpers will know where each box should go.
7. Essential services
Get together a ‘move day essentials’ box. This should have a kettle and enough mugs for everyone who’s helping you move, as well as coffee, tea and sugar (those packs you get at hotels are perfect) and a carton of UHT milk. A bottle of mineral water is also a good idea, as are a couple of snack bars and a roll of toilet paper. Another essentials box should have your hammer, drill, screwdriver set as well as a few nails, screws and wall plugs. A couple of light bulbs may also come in handy, as will a roll of bin bags and some large dust sheets in case it’s a wet day (you Don't want mud all over the new carpet, do you?)
I've found that planning my move in this way makes it a surefire success. Good luck!
