I'm so rubbish at packing! I am moving soon, and all I have is bin bags and a feeling of despair. I have no idea how to get organized, what can I do? Any tips?

Thank you! :)

(All I reall have is clothes, a bed and a Mac, and a few ornaments)

  1. separate the subjects into different boxes with the stuff that goes with it


  2. We're moving soon too!

    We first started with the things we used least, it seems obvious but some people don't see it that way. We started in our daughters room. Moved her crib into our room and we're using her room as storage. We got some kitchen things next and just went from there.

    Once you get into it, it seems a heck of a lot easier!

  3. Small things first, then bigger things.

  4. Really Red Bird??? All you have is clothes?

    Pack up all the winter clothes that you aren't wearing right now. Your room sounds easy peasy to pack.It's easier if you use boxes though...more organized than bags.

    Hope you're enjoying your hiatus from Y!A's =) Where you at small fry???

  5. Start with anything that is purely decoration. You won't need to use it prior to the move, so go ahead and pack that up! Then move on to any clothes that you won't be wearing for this season. Heavy coats, etc. Pack up anything that you will be using in a suitcase so that you don't box it accidentally. Code the bags so that you know what is in each one. Makes it much easier when you get to the new place and you don't have any idea  what is what!

    Good luck =)

  6. Oh gross.  Poor you.. I absolutely HATE packing.  Just start separating the clothes into different seasons... pfftt... do you even have that there?????/ LOL and do it that way ... Seriously, start with one and just get it done and out of the way  and then the next ... I know, it's horrible but when you separate it, the closer you see yourself getting to the end of one section, you can just tell yourself, "Okay I don't have too much left on this one" and just push yourself to get at least that one done.  That's how I do it anyway.  I'm horrible with packing and leave everything to the last minute until I have no choice and absolutely HAVE to get everything done.  Good luck hon!!!

  7. If you are moving by trailer or truck load the furniture first. Box or bag all the little or soft stuff.  Put the mack in the car, Keep it cool.

    Make sure that everything is tied down.  If you are using an open trailer or truck and drive and highway speeds, You are exposing the items to hurricane speed wind. Don't wind up with your stuff on the road.

    Oh label all the bags or boxes.  Using a magic marker list all the type stuff in it.
