R to @guanobat1976: He lives with me. I think he’s not going to find out his mums been in a bad way by reading Twitter ffs.

R to @Wheezyridermick: That’s the dream, but it’ll be tight!

You could almost tell that this is going to be my 27th house move, couldn’t you? I’ve been rehearsing most of my adult life for this one.

R to @selfheal: Funnily enough I am doing exactly the same thing. Every box numbered, every number entered into a designated notebook with very detailed notes on the contents!

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @Nataliealana87: Yep I’ve done that a LOT as most of my moves have been very fast flits from one place to another. Determined to do it thoroughly and fearlessly this time, and more effort this end of it should mean far less pain on the exciting end of it!

R to @domatkinson76: Tiny freezer bags of hardware taped to the undersides of things/inside boxes, along with the correct sized Allen key or screwdriver to put it back together if you’re being REALLY thorough, will save you HOURS of frustration. Good luck my friend. X

R to @BootstrapCook: (Also means if you manage to rope in helpers, they can instantly assemble as they unpack coz all the stuff to do so is there!! And a recycle bag thrown in the top of any boxes that contain any bubble wrapped/paper wrapped breakables is also a pretty nifty thing to have to hand)

Might do a thread on things I’ve learned moving house 26 times over 18ish years, because there might be some useful simple hacks in there to help people navigate an extraordinarily stressful situation, maybe. Anyone want that kinda thing? Won’t be offended if not!

R to @BootstrapCook: (I’m not the only person who is drastically downsizing their living environment in the face of the current cost of living crisis, whether for heating efficiency, mortgage/rent spikes, record inflation on groceries and energy, people definitely seem to be moving house right now)

R to @frugally_minded: I didn’t want to publish your part of the message because it didn’t feel right. Apologies for trying to be decent and respectful!

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @frugally_minded: Yes.

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @frugally_minded: They did confirm it; repeatedly.

R to @__ad__90: Abusive relationships, dodgy house shares, slum landlords, mouldy properties, rotten floorboards, evictions, arrears, section 21s, poverty, relationship breakdowns, midnight flits, naievety, sofa surfing, falling in love, and out of it again, life’s bloody complicated and messy?!
