Moving becomes more stressful because of the many things you have to do before making the actual move. For one, packing really takes so much time and effort from you. If you still have to report to work, you really have less time on your hands. It would even be more stressful if you have young children.
Nevertheless, you should not automatically hire a removals company. You have to assess your things and get rid of the things you no longer need to lessen the clutter. List down the things you have to bring too. If you don't have things that need special attention like big furniture, a piano or a pool table, you may be able to manage packing them yourself. Based on your list, purchase enough packing materials. If you can ask for sturdy boxes from groceries and from family and friends who have recently moved too, it would save you some money.
Of course, you would only be able to finish packing if you have enough time. And again, this is only possible if someone else can take care of your children while you're doing your chores. Just schedule everything and start early so you won't be so hurried. This will reduce a lot of stress from you for sure.
To transport your things, simply hire a man and a van to help you. To even save more, take time to look for the best deal in the market. While this requires some effort on your part it is so much cheaper than hiring a removals company.
