VERY SERIOUS SUGGESTIONS
- Start with the least used parts of the house; storage, etc.
- Use smaller boxes if you can; they all have to be carried around a lot.
- Everything in a box should be for one room only; label each box with a number and it's destination, e.g. "#7 - kitchen"
- On the subject of labels, use sticky labels as they can be replaced next time; we have boxes that have more labels than cardboard.
- Wrap valuables in tissue paper, then newspaper and finally in bubble wrap, keep fragile boxes for just that.
- Aim to throw out a third of what you have without packing it; this is an ideal time to get rid of dross.
- When you move if you have no place for something then bin it; double clear out == twice as tidy.
- EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING, apart from humans and must 'have to hand', such as documents and medicines, goes in the moving lorry.
- The LAST box contains kettle, mugs, tea, coffee and biscuits; it'll be first off and you will thank me 1,000 times for this if for nothing else.
As I said yesterday, we are past masters at the art of packing up home and moving. Our three bedroom house here in UK will soon be packed up and then we will be sending stuff to at least three different destinations; Budapest, Balatonfured and where ever the hell we will be living.
But most of all relax, it is really easy to get stressed to the eyeballs over this.

Makes me wonder, where do you put the booze? or is that in the 'have to hand' category:

GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

More like hand to mouth I suspect. The last of the old supply gets drunk while finishing up at the departure point, and the fleet of gin tankers are scheduled to be the first to arrive at the destination.

... and make an inventory of what's in what box, so you don't need to open a dozen kitchen boxes before you find the one with silverware so you can eat something approaching a real meal at your new place.

Did I leave out the inventory? My bad.
When we moved into this house, the first box was in the kitchen and the kettle was on before the second box even got near the door.

It's probably a development for recent refugees from California. Using every in of the lot to build a bigger home is intended to feel more like where they came from.

Oh, there is a small typo in your comment. I'm sure you would write "united streets"

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
