Hi, All.
Hope your New Year was warm and wonderful.

today marks a new series for Infoshare.  I will endeavor to send a piece of 
information a day.  Let's see how far I get.  <grin>

Our first snip-it comes from none other than the famous Fred's head companion 
blog and podcast.  It's truly a moving experience!

Ten Moving Tips

These moving tips may include a few things you hadn't thought of, or things you 
just need to be reminded of.



  1.. Get rid of things. Consider carefully what you need to keep. People spend 
hundreds of dollars to move things that will undoubtedly be thrown away some 
day. It's not just a matter of the expense, but the hassle too. Moving time is 
the best time to get rid of the things you really don't need.


  2.. Have a yard sale. It's a good way to get rid of things, and you might 
even raise enough money to pay for the move.


  3.. Use lists. You will forget things, especially if you don't have a list or 
two. Start with a list of things to do before the move. It may include getting 
school documents transferred, filling out change of address forms, returning 
borrowed books and movies, transferring prescriptions, getting maps, and 
arranging utility shut offs and start ups.


  4.. Make the moving company reservation a month ahead. You wouldn't want to 
find that they are booked up on the date you need their services.


  5.. Pack early. It's hard to say how long it will take until you are doing 
it. Start early to avoid running around looking for boxes at the last minute.


  6.. Have an "essentials" box. This will have things to make your arrival 
easier, like toilet paper, paper plates, soap and something to help remove the 
tape from your boxes. Pack the box where it is easily accessible.


  7.. Check weather reports. It's no fun arriving in a snowstorm with your coat 
packed away. Allow for extra moving time if the weather is going to slow down 
traffic.


  8.. Notify family and friends of your new address and phone number. Do this 
before you have the old number shut off.


  9.. Save your receipts. Save receipts for moving expenses, like gas, hotel 
rooms, and anything else related to the move. Then ask your accountant or tax 
preparer if you are eligible for a tax deduction for moving expenses.


  10.. Try to re-establish your routines quickly. It helps to quickly 
re-establish routines in your new home, so if Friday night is movie night, 
don't break with tradition. Moving is less traumatic if you have some 
consistency in daily life. If you are moving with children, this may be one of 
the more important moving tips.
