Not only have you found your new home, but you’ve managed to sell your old home … result!!
But the prospective new owners want to move in next week 😮
Eek! Don’t panic. It can be done with a little bit of concentrated organisation …
Let’s start the countdown …
When is a box a box? And when is it not a box?!
Here at Box Depot we sell recycled cardboard boxes.
Many people assume that “used boxes” or “recycled boxes” are those piles of boxes you see outside shops of an evening, waiting on the binman to collect.
But it takes a lot for those boxes to have got into that state …
Panic Station!!!
You’ve sold the house, but need to be moved out within a week … eek!
But it can be done following these simple steps …
It’s still a bit cold outside, but it feels like Spring is around the corner; and you can almost smell the good weather on it’s way!
If you’re considering selling your house this year, then there’s a few things you may need to get done before sticking the “For Sale” sign in the front garden, though.
Here’s a few tips to help you on your way …
Moving house is stressful.
Whether you are moving by choice, or forced by change of circumstances, or forced to make the move, moving house is stressful!
But you’ve made the decision now and narrowed down the list of potential new homes.

Here’s a few tips that will help you and your children move house as anxiety-free as possible

What makes a box a box? And how are they made to be so strong?
At Box Depot, we sell both single-wall and double-wall cardboard boxes.
Here’s a little bit more about those differences …
We’ve been kept a little bit occupied by what we endearingly(!) call The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Put simply, we moved into our house a few years ago in October and by November we were trying to sort out house insurance. And the nice people in the insurance company told us we’d save a packet by lumping all the house, car, health & pet insurance together to get a great discount.
Marvellous, we thought! Everybody likes to save a bit of money, right?
Trouble is, they’re all due for renewal at the end of November or beginning of December, just in time for Crimbo!
… Let the Nightmare Before Christmas Begin!
Thankfully the House Insurance is the last Chapter in the Nightmare Before Christmas – Hurray!
That doesn’t mean, though, that it’s a quick scan of the renewal documents before going ahead with payment. Oh no! Like with the Health Insurance, there’s a few things not quite right, so it’s back to the drawing board …
Oh my giddy Aunt, where do we start with this?!
Got a lovely reminder from our health insurance that it was due for renewal at the beginning of December. How much, you ask? Well, not much change from €2,500!!!
Deep breath and we’ll tell you all about it …
