Moving like a pro

Yaay! Since the last post we found out that our application on a gorgeous apartment in Elizabeth Bay has been approved. We are moving....again. This is the third time we have moved in 18 months (not including the move from London to Sydney) and boy is it going to be hectic as we are off to Tonga for 12 days on Friday too. It's a good job that experience tells me what to do (see more here). Here are my top 5 tips for moving:

1. Make lists - okay, like most girls (Virgo girls especially!); I make lists for everything, but it really helps me keep focused on what I need to achieve day-by-day

2. Categorise by room - I take on one room at a time so I feel like I'm getting big things done and I love ticking rooms off the list!

3. Don't be distracted by old photos and tickets - make a me-date to go through old memories with a lovely glass of wine when you are comfs in the new pad, moving is not the time!

4. Russian dolly bags - start off with the smallest of purses, pop one bag in to another until you have a super-space-saving bag-of-bags

5. Up tempo Music - turn the iPod on shuffle, when a cracker comes on it will lift your mood and you will be much more efficient!


Extra Tip: Don't blog when you should be packing, it gets you in to serious trouble.

Do you have any moving tips that might help me out this week?
