Boxes, keys, and a van booked for a very specific morning. 📦 Enter the date and share it with everyone you have talked into helping.
Packing follows the same law as luggage. It expands to fill whatever time is left, so a visible number on the wall does more than a list ever will.
- Removal firms price by the day, and the last Friday of the month is the most expensive one to pick.
- Utilities usually want two weeks of notice to switch on the right date.
- A 30 day notice period is about four weekends of packing. That is fewer than it sounds. 🔑
