G'day! Feeling overwhelmed about your upcoming move? Don't worry - we've created this super simple how to prepare for moving house guide that even your cat could follow (if they weren't too busy sleeping in moving boxes) 😺

First Things First: The "I Have No Idea What I'm Doing" Stage 🤔

• Breathe (yes, really!)
• Grab a cuppa and your favourite notebook
• Find a calendar (your phone works too)
• Take a selfie with your mess (trust us, the "after" photo will be worth it)

The "Help, Where Do I Start?" Phase 📱

No worries! Start here:

1. Call mum (she always knows what to do)
2. Get quotes from removalists (hint: we make this super easy!)
3. Start a moving playlist (because everything's better with music)
4. Take photos of your current setup (you'll thank us later)

The "What Even Is All This Stuff?" Stage 🧺

Time to sort your belongings into three piles:

• "Keep" (things you actually use)
• "Chuck" (that pasta maker you've never opened)
• "Maybe" (we all need a maybe pile, but keep it small!)

The "I'm Actually Getting Organised" Phase 📦

Simple steps for packing success:

• Start with the spare room (less pressure!)
• One room at a time (no cheating!)
• Label boxes with emoji stickers (fun and practical)
• Take breaks for Tim Tams (essential step)

The "Oh No, Moving Day Is Coming" Checklist ✅

Your last-minute survival guide:

• Charge your phone (duh!)
• Pack a "first night" box (PJs, coffee, chargers)
• Order pizza (feed your helpers!)
• Keep your thongs handy (for quick runs to the car)

The "What Could Go Wrong?" Solutions 🚨

Common rookie mistakes and how to avoid them:

• Forgetting to measure furniture (oops!)
• Leaving packing until the night before (don't do it!)
• Losing your keys (keep them in your pocket!)
• Running out of tape (buy more than you think you need!)

The "I'm Too Scared to Ask" Questions 🤫

Q: How many boxes do I actually need? A: Count your rooms and multiply by 10. Then add 5 more just because.

Q: What if I can't lift my couch? A: That's what professional removalists are for! Don't be a hero.

Q: Do I really need to empty my drawers? A: Yes, unless you enjoy the sound of everything falling out mid-move.

Q: What if it rains on moving day? A: That's why we Aussies always check the BOM app! But don't worry, good removalists come prepared.

The "I've Got This!" Confidence Boosters 💪

• Remember: thousands of people move every day
• You don't have to be perfect
• It's okay to ask for help
• Everything will find its place eventually
