Archive

The archive lists every page in the guide in the order it was published. Each one shows its date and main topic, and the filter narrows the list down to the topic you choose. This is handy if you remember reading something about fixings or the first-night box but cannot recall which section it was in. The archive also helps anyone preparing well ahead: you can go through the pages in chronological order and put together your own reading list for the coming weeks.

The archive has no placeholders or promises for the future, only pages you can already open and use for your own move.

— The short version

One line in the archive is one published page. If a page is substantially reworked, its line stays the same and the revision is noted in the feed of new pages. The tags are deliberately simple and reflect how people think about their move: 'preparation' means the plan, timings and sorting your things; 'packing' means boxes, materials and fragile items; 'furniture' means dismantling, fixings and appliances; 'safety' means lifting, carrying and loading. A page may touch on several topics, but in the archive it has one main tag so that the filter stays clear. Dates show the day of first publication, not the latest edit, so the archive shows the order in which the guide came together.

Former addresses on this domain

Before this guide existed, the addresses on this domain carried unrelated advertising, and we chose not to bring it over. The old pages have been removed and do not redirect to new ones, so the list below is empty. If you arrived via an old link, please note that this site provides no services and advertises nothing; it simply helps you prepare calmly for a move. The best places to start are the home page or the article on packing a kitchen.

    This guide offers general advice on preparing for a move and handling your belongings with care. Rules for carrying particular items are set by the carriers themselves, and furniture assembly by the manufacturer's instructions, so in any specific case follow those first.
