Prepare all your furniture for the moving day. Wash carpets and rugs, give sofas and upholestry a good clean so they are ready for your new place and will not require cleaning straight after the move. You will have more tasks to worry about after you move in than cleaning your furniture.

Gather all importnat documents in one place – marriage and birth certificates, passports, insurance documents, log books, medical records, deeds etc. Doing so will allow you easy access to them in your new home.

Make sure to arrange a pet and child care for the day of the move. Last thing you want to be worried about is your kids and pets, the best way is to drop them off in the morning of the move to your friends or family.

Stop buying food products with a longer shelf-life. Try to plan your eating around the move date so you will not have to carry unnecessary goods.
