We moved in Feb. Huge downsize for us. We packed ourselves, cleaned out kitchen cupboards two weeks before and cleaned them throughly, did not put anything back in.
All up early on moving day, showered, cleaned all bathrooms, just used downstairs loo (the last room to be cleaned before we left). Removers arrived at 8am, started loading, as each room was cleared, I hoovered. It was a very large house unfortunately after hoovering, once I got to the final hoover of the hall, the battery had run out! Thankfully our vendors had left our new home beautifully clean.
I always pack a box for the car, kettle, tea bags, coffee, milk, bread & butter, toaster.
A suitcase for each of us for what we will need for the next few days, so you aren’t pressured into unpacking quickly. Make sure box has a description of what’s inside, not just the room, makes things much easier.
All worked out ok for us, not that I fancy moving again in a hurry! Good luck OP, I hope your move goes well and wishing you good health & happiness in your new home.
