Packing Tips

This is the perfect time to de-clutter your house as in the long run it will be less to pack and move. Its time to get ruthless! Make three piles:

1. Keep
2. Not sure
3. Get rid!

Always think of these three piles when deciding what to take on your move. Consider these points:
1. Do you need, want or like it?
If you feel that you either like, need or are not sure about a particular item ask yourself, when was the last time you used it? Do you still want to keep it? If so, put it on the ‘Keep’ pile. If the answer is no, then put it on the ‘get rid’ pile.
2. ‘Get rid’
When you finally decide that you don’t want to keep particular items, the next thing to consider is what you want to do with them.
Are they still in good condition? If so maybe you might want to sell them or give them to your local charity shop. Many charity shops will collect large items at no cost.
