Moving can be such a stressful undertaking that
we often get distracted and forget to do the little things like forward our mail
or change our driver's license address.
Here are some helpful reminder
checklist of things you may want to do.
Household
Reminders
Packing
and Moving
Disconnect and settle accounts with utilities, cable and phone services.
Order utilities to be connected at new home.
Cancel any pre-authorized bill payments.
Have your mail forwarded to your new address.
Stop or forward all home deliveries, newspapers and magazines.
Start reviewing what is worth taking and what is not. Now is the best time
to clear out those closets and start anew.
Make special arrangements for the moving of pets or plants.
Prepare a list of all items you want to carry to your new home (such as jewelry
and other personal valuables).
Pick up all personal items at local businesses (dry cleaning, film, storage).
Service all appliances for the trip.
All gas appliances must be emptied. It is illegal for movers to carry flammable
liquids.
Verify with your moving company the date, time of arrival and method of payment.
Take inventory of all items you are moving.
Get some cash for travelling expenses.
Service your car thoroughly.
Let a close friend or family member know your travel route and schedule.

"I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder , chaos--especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom ... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical." -- James Douglas Morrison
