First time for me - moving!

Well who'd have thought it eh, house has been on the market since March and we've had one offer.
Until today!!!! Had a second offer from people who have sold and want to move in by 8th July - HELP!!!! So much to do in such little time, it's crazy, we're definitely going if all the surveying goes to plan!!!
I'll keep you posted, along with my other post hehe.

 

Hehe, definitely, I noticed that when looking around they have an ntl cable modem too so....
Yeh just somewhere closer to the high street in our village, I'll try to find the picture of it on the estate agent website.

 

I moved no less than 10 times in my military career. I can tell you it doesn't get any easier with each move. You never realize how much stuff you have until you move.

Good Luck

 

Oh tell me about it, just looking around from where I'm sitting now, my room is the smallest in the house (excluding downstairs toilet) and there's so much junk in here it's unbelievable!!
PLEASE!!! My fellow geeks, tell me that I should chuck a load of stuff!
If I'm unsure on chucking something I'll post info and a pic of it then the yay do I keep or nay do i chuck hehe!

 

Don't throw it away!!! I can't part with anything Put things in GIANT boxes incase they "come in useful"... I have so so much crap living around just in case.. alive.. or dead...

 

Moving is a pain but, just as said before...it's a good way of getting rid of junk!
I have this rule when I spring clean the house every year, If I haven't used it in 2 years, out it goes. If it's in good condition, I donate it. For the most part I haven't missed anything. Besides, if you kept all that junk and finally the day comes when you say " Gee, I need such and such,good thing I didn't throw it out" You may not be able to find it among all the other junk you saved and you may end up buying a new one! lol

Good luck to you!

 

Wow, moving! Big change! 8th July, thats just after your exams are finished right? Or is that during your 4 month holiday you get after GCSEs? Packing up stuff is great for getting yourself organised, at least. If it were me, I'd run a systematic filter on my stuff, similar to the following SQL statement:

Code:

SELECT * FROM my_stuff WHERE useful > 1 ORDER BY category DESC

 

Kuck dies ... and say your happy that you going easier

I'd start chucking it all, you tend to hang on to things, just in case....
I moved in 3 months ago and still have boxes of crap sitting around waiting for me to put them somewhere..lol
what's funny is...I think theres more now than there was when I was moving it, I don't know where some of this stuff came from.
keep the essentials, if in doubt, toss it.(or sell it on ebay..lol)

 

Had to dig up my old thread, just to let you all know -

House move is 10th August (next wednesday)!!!!!
So from next tuesday ( I think) for a few days I won't be online but the comp will be the first thing I unpack!!

 

Swap the kettle for the fridge, or does that go without saying??

 

You could always sell your junk on e-bay. There always seems to be a buyer for all sorts of junk there...

 

The only good thing about moving is you tend to find a bunch of stuff you didn't know you had . . .

 

Exactly, like an old Sega Saturn with 19 games, how cool is that!!!!!

 

so cool you should give it to me

seriously though, whenever we move (we've moved 5 times now) I just go through all my stuff and about 50% ends up getting donated (if it's in a good condition) or thrown away, people have so much junk we seriously don't need
