Two adults, two young children, a bazillion books (literally), a loft that has been a dump repository for a decade, and just one week to do it during which we are all working Shock

Let alone the fact that our poky little terrace isn't actually big enough to store all the bloody boxes once they are packed!

Need half the house packed for Saturday, the other half for the Monday after.

What's the best plan of attack? Decluttering the loft, shed and understairs cupboard this weekend, obviously. Kitchen the night before the final move.

I'm feeling completely overwhelmed, we had meant to have several weeks between exchange and completion but for various reasons it's ended up being a week, and now I'm flapping like a headless chicken... Hit me with tips, please!

Get a lot of storage boxes and a skip.

Definitely do not leave the kitchen u til the night before. You need to leave just enough kitchen stuff and clothes, toys to survive. Pack the stuff you use a lot very well. You want it to be easy to unpack at the other end.

You will be fine!

We are in exactly the same situation. My head is spinning.

@NoToast

How's it going *@Thurlow*? Surviving? Been wondering how you were getting on. Totally overinvested as I've just moved Grin
Thanks! I think it's going OK, though I hate living in a house of dust after moving all our crap out of the loft Grin We have a day and half without the kids before the big move on Monday so I'm sure it will be OK...
