Farm out the Family:
While it’s true that many hands make light work, it does sometimes depend on who those hands belong to… If you have a young family, a move can be less stressful if you can organise child care on the big day. Or you might even consider a visit to grandparents (or other friends or family) for a couple of days, leaving you to get your new home in some semblance of order. Pets can also be a distraction on moving day, so a visit to your friendly doggy day care provider might be useful.
Sort out Sustenance:
With so much to do on moving day, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. But eating and sleeping well are key to recovery and feeling like yourself after a stressful move.
So, do ensure you arrange a grocery delivery around moving in time. And, if ever there was a time for ready-meals, moving house is it! Two of our favourite ready meal delivery services are Cook and By Ruby. Both offer award-winning meals that taste as good as the meals you make at home.
