Moving houses

Inah

I am coming with a lot of questions to this community and I am sorry if I don’t always or at all respond to your responses but I am very grateful to have found this place! 

Today, I am feeling overwhelm and don’t know where to go with this. I am returning to a flat after the Christmas holidays that my partner and I are leaving in 2 weeks (the reasons are complex but long story short, it wasn’t our choice per se to leave) and we move into a new place then (same-ish area). I thought that moving on to the new home after the flat was spoiled for us would be what I was looking for, but now coming back, I can only see the logistics of moving, losing what we have atm, chaos and having to arrange everything again (we just moved a year ago) in the new place. This all will need to happen alongside working from “home” (?!) and I am dreading my job atm anyway. I don’t know how to navigate this, I hate chaos and losing a safe place to be. 

(PS: Happy new year - may 2026 be a good/ better one for everyone)

  • It is difficult and I find it takes a while to get used to the new place. 

    The way I manage it is by organizing as much as I can. I make a list of all the places that need a new address and if possible and time let them know before. Some of the utilities can be done online, so you could do before you move in case you have to wait to get the broadband set up again. I also try to plan room layouts so it is quicker to get sorted.

    When I pack, I sort a box with essentials and also labelled boxes for rooms. Last time we moved I put the bedding in a black sack, so it was handy to get out quickly. I hate chaos too, so having a few things ready to create areas of calm helped.

    I hope all goes well and you soon feel comfortable and settled.
