My sister moved yesterday, i spent the day lumping stuff from one house to the other, didn't finish till gone 11 on the evening  had a right stressful end to it, struggling to get a double fridge freezer out the old property and even harder getting it into the new property.
the stress was kicking in at the end of the day, this is the second person i have helped move in the last six months, i am not bloody helping anyone else lol.

Mine was easy... I had virtually nothing.
I helped my parents a decade ago and that was a long day. I strangely enjoyed feeling useful though - I just jumped in and bossed it for them. |

I love doing removals.
During my gap year I worked for a removal company in Sydney.
Every day would start with a drive over the harbour bridge sitting up high in a truck.
I kept my uniform and wear it every time I help someone move house.
Aw, the memories. |

Never found it stressful and have always moved across a Friday to Monday swap.
Room or two at a time from old place to new.
Always been easier that way.
Longer to move , less stress. |

Nothing stressful about it as long as you pack it right in the first place.
As goes for bigger items yes they are ackward to get out.
Some stuff wont come out as some units are in the way that need taking apart just to get the stiff out.
Ive known some stuff that wont come out as they was taken into the property through something else that dosnt exist anymore. |

"I hate it. Have done it various ways but would always use a removal firm/man and van now wherever I could to take that stress part away. "
Totally with you on that. Never moved ourselves always had strong fit guys helping us  |

Not stressful at all. This is currently the longest I've lived in a house and I'm starting to get itchy feet. I love cleaning the new house, labelling everything properly and taking the time to unpack room by room. Like Boo above I've always exchanged on the Friday so there's the weekend to get things done.
Before it I always make sure to do a deep clean and be ruthless with items. Then it's a doddle. |

"So a day spent moving some stuff from one place to another stressed you out. I'm guessing maybe manual labour isn't really your thing"
I'm guessing we don't know his physical limitations, not everyone has the same physical capacity. |

well it wasn't me that was stressed out it was them, but it is hard graft especially when your rapidly approaching 59 years of age. I am a site maintenance guy in a large school, manual labor so manual labor is very much my thing, i am always dragging stuff from one side of the school to the other,

they were very grateful for my help, as no one else was available to help them being it was a Friday and people working. I am on my way back over there now to rebuild a double wardrobe, now they have got a lot of stuff cleared away, no rest for the wicked lol. |

Fair enough , like a bus drivers holiday so, doing the day job on your day off...that's a pain alright  |

They say that the only thing that goes past the stress of moving is a bereavement. |
