Preparing to move
8/21/2013 08:30:00 am
The last few weeks have flown by so quickly. Now the flat is sold and the solicitors are doing their stuff, it was panic time for me and Lewis but a couple weeks ago we went to view a house which we never intended on liking but thought we could then cross it off the list. Well that house is now in the process of becoming our family home. It was just perfect in every way and I we wanted it. So put in our offer and now we are awaiting the solicitors to start the paperwork.
Last week I managed to get all this packing material for FREE!! It is amazing the stuff you can find looking around on selling websites.
I found these boxes and the wrapping material on gumtree and it was about a 20mile drive to collect them but it was cheaper then buying them brand new.
I also brought markers, highlighter pens, labels and packing tape.
My most precious thing to being organised is my ring binder dedicated to moving. It contains my timescale, checklist, important numbers, estate agent information and the solicitor information.
I have set a page with the information of the colour coded rooms.
Here is all the different pages I have in the folder:
Selling timeframe,
Purchase timeframe,
Viewing properties information,
House packing / decluttering information,
Moving day / moving tips information,
Moving house checklist x2,
Change of address list.
In the next section is my decorating ideas. It has five sheets of each colour to represent the rooms. I have started with paint ideas so far and will soon put furniture and renovation ideas.
My craft room colours, I am imagining one wall striped pink and off white and the rest white.
I will post back tomorrow with more tips and an update. Also I will post the documents to share with you all.
Much love Sophie x
