To ask how long it takes to pack a house?

[Chuckthefucklebrothers]

Well, a two bedroom flat, to be precise. I have 2 weeks to decorate & carpet our new place (3 bed house, although I don't get the keys til Tuesday), pack all our stuff & move. I'm doing most of this on my own - have had some offers of help with painting & have teenage DS & his mates to help with the actual move. I am also dealing with a very recent relationship breakdown so feeling utterly overwhelmed & panicky at the moment! I need to do this on a very tight budget & we need more furniture (neither me nor DS1 have a bed, for e.g.)
Help! Organise me please! (And maybe hold my hand a little bit)

Hand held. There, there, you'll soon be moved.

Splash - I expect it does, but I'm not sure if i can even afford the (cheapest) quote of 200-300 just to move the stuff. Think I'd get a bit vexed about letting someone else pack my stuff anyway!

Wow, Matriarch, that's impressive. Is that a council place too? The overlap we got is going to be very helpful I think.

Nocheese I am clutching gratefully - DH has just left (looked after DS while I was at college) & I'm feeling a bit sad & lost again. I so hope I'm doing the right thing.

Still, get the keys tomorrow...

just wanted to say hello really and say congrats on getting the keys. It will be fine
