Have an essentials bag

It can be very easy to lose track of boxes and items you need in the chaos of a move. What is more, it may take you some time to get to unpack all of the boxes and find all of the items that you need. To avoid the frantic search for must-have items pack yourself an essentials bag or box that stays with you during the move process. Your essential collection will be a personal choice and you will need to think about the items that are important to you. However, for inspiration, essentials will typically include things such as clothes, toiletries, medication, chargers, toilet rolls, cups, plates, cutlery, towels, and bedding.
