You’ve just heard you’re moving….but not till Christmas.  Don’t put off what you can do now till tomorrow start getting organized for the move NOW.

The first step can be to ‘declutter‘.  Walk around the house and look at what you’ve got and think about what you will really need in your new home.  At weekends (or even the up coming half-term holiday) get the kids to get under those dusty beds and pull out the boxes with a million bits of transformers, cars and lego and ask them ‘do they really still play with these toys?’  Go out to the garden and have a look at the old garden furniture and ask yourself is it worth transporting all that back – especially if you are moving back to a cold country.  Begin the task of going through the paperwork and shredding what you will never need again such as DEWA bills dating back 5 years ago etc.
