Overwhelmed and freaking out about move this week

[WTFamigoingtodoo]

I am freaking out here - we (myself and partner) are due to move into our new rental property on Saturday. For a number of reasons we are scarily unprepared for this stage of only having 2 days before move.

All of our plans for the move seem to have fallen apart, people are pulling out of helping at last minute, poor health (requiring surgery not just a cold or something!) has led to a delay in packing everything up, everywhere is a fricking mess of boxes and stuff to go in boxes. There are now delays with the estate agents on the new rental to contend with too.

Feel like sitting in the corner under a blanket and rocking. I’ve suffered with severe anxiety for years (on meds) and this is all suddenly seeming too much. I know I just need to “man up” and get on with it but SO overwhelmed.

Any advice or kind words?!

If you have the funds available, contact every removal company you can and see if they have availability for a packing and removal service for Saturday.

Do you have any overlap or do you also need to vacate your current home the same day?

Agree with this. Throw money at the problem if you can. Otherwise, you need to put mumsnet down and get packing!

so you only found out today new place is available or you found out today you need to leave current?
if you don’t have to empty current by Saturday, breathe… take your time!
if you do need to leave as pp pay removal company

Honestly, just chuck stuff in boxes and label the room rather than the items. Worry about it at the other end as boxes can be unpacked slowly over the next few weeks.
