@Niamh, we moved a *lot* when I was a kid. My parents' rule was as you say, but get the beds set up first, then the kitchen. If you or your kids are too tired to eat or cook, at least beds are ready. (And takeout always an option.)

@sandy_s I was young. And apparently full of piss and vinegar. Yeah, I have some pretty cool hacks, and the major advice. Breakdown the bedroom then the kitchen last -- and do the opposite in the new place. Bedroom and Kitchen set up first. This way, you have the means to reheat dinner

Just a heads up - I'm not really adding an already-posted fic (I Know You II), just added in some missing chapters. It was inevitable, I guess. *sigh* Thanks to Blackrose89 for calling it to my attention! Just ignore me and carry on!

When we had to move out of my apartment after Hurricane Katrina, my parents, brother, and I did it all in one day. My sweet dad even cleaned out the very nasty fridge for me. lol I've never seen so many fridges being thrown out.

On the opposite side of that, my mother once told my father that if he wanted to move, she'd need 5 years notice.

But the really impressive thing is I could break down an apartment and set up the new one in once day.

When I was young and in my 20s, I lucked out on apartment hunting in NYC -- I managed to move 6 times in 18 months -- and the rent kept going down (rent control only allowes the landlord to up the rent by a certain percentage to new tenants) and the last apartment I ended up paying $46.00 a month --

Hahaha, I agree - moving is horrendous! My husband keeps asking me if I’d like to move elsewhere in our town and I’m like, nope, I’m good where I am; I like the neighbours. But my real motivation? I do NOT wanna have to box up all our stuff!

Oy @sandy_s arguably my LEAST favorite thing to do. I told my partner: “Next time, we’re just burning everything and starting over.” Good luck!

Apologies to anyone who’s been waiting for my WIP. Squeezed every drop out of a family weekend then, to quote Rihanna, work, work, work, work, work. Anyway, it’s up now!

@Dusty, as long as you're sure it's not just because he enjoys having throngs of adoring females...

You're so welcome! I think it's so fun that commenters can "chat" in the comments as well. So many commenting possibilities now!
