The added padding will provide the little bit of extra protection that might save you a nasty, expensive crack or chip. If you‘re packing your own dishes, get a box from your mover that‘s designed specially for that purpose, and pack them on end, not flat. There‘s less rattling and banging that way, and you can expect almost no damage. If you haven‘t yet hit the audio cassette or CD range yet, and are still enjoying your music from records, pack them the same way. By Paddy Bateman little planning and a lot of foresight A goes a long way when preparing for a £E MR move. The effort may take some time, but it‘s the best investment you‘ll ever make, whether you‘re moving across the hall or across the country. The fact that it might save you some money as well is an added bonus that can‘t be overlooked in these economic times. Packing lamps? Take the bulbs out. It‘s surprising how many people open a moving carton at their new home and expect to find all their fragile light bulbs intact. Even the most careful mover will usually end up with bulb breakage. Medicines? First, make sure they all go into the same box, and make sure that box is easily accessible. Most people moving to a new part of the country, especially to one where the water supply is different from their old home, have some minor difficulties adjustâ€" ing. Your pharmacist can recommend someâ€" thing for you to carry in the event of an emerâ€" gency, and make sure it‘s handy. Also make sure all medicines are capped tightly, and that all lids are secure, and that all labels are firmly in place. Pharmacists suggest that a move is a great time to clean out all of those outâ€"ofâ€"date prescriptions that are past their effective use date. Now for a few more practical packing and moving tips from the handy little publication, "Guide To A Good Move," that‘s available from any agent of Allied Van Lines. Everyone‘s got extras when they move; you know, the odds and sods that you‘re just not going to use any more, or don‘t want to lug along to your new home. If you‘re one of them, then it‘s garage sale time! If you‘re one of those "born hagglers," who loves the give and take of selling or buying without fixed price guidelines, it can be a delightful advenâ€" ture, filled with surprises. You‘ll also find that you‘ll save more than a little bit of money on the move (the less you ship, the less it costs), and you‘ll have some added cash for that firstâ€" night fancy dinner in your new home! If you have children, let them write their name and new address on the packing cartons containing the stuff from their rooms. It‘ll make them feel helpful, and it‘s a good way for them to become familiar with their new address and phone numberâ€"a safety factor that shouldn‘t be overlooked in these times.
