If you are packing yourself, then you want to give yourself enough time to ensure that once packed up the number of boxes you initially estimated for your move is still correct, this can help you avoid any additional charges on the day. But, let’s be honest, you still have to live in your current home for a while before moving, so you have to be practical with what you pack when. We recommend leaving things like the bed, and key kitchen appliances (like your trusty kettle) to as late as you can. Nobody wants to be sleeping on the floor with no tea before moving day!
