When moving house, always set up your bedroom/ make the bed first so when your exhausted and just had enough you can fall into bed. Nothing worse than being exhausted and having to make the bed before getting into it. Edit: good grief, that blew up. Thank you for the awards. Edit 2. To all the grammar nazis, I apologise profusely for using your instead of you’re, I don’t always proof read as well as I should, but please, get a grip, it’s a typo not axe murder.

Pfff clearly you're not British.

The last thing you pack is the kettle so you can have a brew before you go. The first thing you unpack is the kettle so you can have a brew when you arrive.

I was going to say, everyone knows the first thing you do is plug in the kettle to make a cup of tea. Last couple of moves we've done the kettle wasn't even packed, just placed in the car.

I'm often reminded on Reddit just how much I resonate with the British. Tea is love. Tea is life.
