Congratulations and all good wishes to you !
Such a great result.

So sad and angry that people have to 'jump' through such extremely high hoops in order to secure a proper roof over their heads.. but that's another thread.

💐to you.

Congrats, that’s amazing! Take this time to deflutter. We recently moved and did 8 trips to the tips, we were clearly unintentional hoarders! Even after moving we’ve been to the tip about 10 times in the last 2.5 months Blush Tbf, a lot has been packing materials but we also decluttered even further. There was so much stuff that we didn’t need that shouldn’t have come with us.

Congratulations!!

Oh I am so very happy for you. Re moving, I'm sure you will know all the standard advice re packing a box with a kettle, mugs, plate and set of cutlery per person, some snacks, teabags etc and basic groceries. I would include a couple of screwdrivers, Allen keys in that and a roll of bin liners. I would also pack a separate box or case with PJ's a change of clothes each, a towel each, a teatowel or two and a set of clean bedding. Those are the two boxes I don't let out of my sight because they're the first I want to unpack. I make up the beds as soon as I possibly can and don't let anyone start piling stuff into the beds in the name of"helping". If you've got something to eat and drink and somewhere to sleep it makes everything else much easier.
