It may sound obvious to some people, but for many the penny has not dropped yet. Moving Quotes are based on distance travelled, but also on the items to be moved.  While no removalist worth their salt in business is likely to tell you not to pack up everything in the house, the bald truth is that it makes no sense at all to pay to move things that you no longer need. Here’s how to go about not wasting money in this way.
o Homes are seldom the same shape and size. Obtain a floor plan of the one that you are moving to, and compare this to the home that you are moving from. If there is no room for Auntie’s grand piano that nobody plays anymore, why pay to move it? Sell it instead. The same goes for the exercise machine that you no longer use.
o If you Find a Man with a Van who is willing to take the curtains down and hang them up again, it could be an idea to check first whether they will fit the windows where you are moving to. If not, sell them to the new people moving in, or send them down to the Church Bazaar. Either way will save you money.
o  Finally, about your clutter (or junk as a Removalist in London that I know quite well likes to call it). Because of the labour involved in packing and unpacking household smalls, and the risk of damage too, this can be where a removal firm could really stack up their bill. Before you even start to Find a Removal Firm, first get in the cleaners and throw out all the junk. You may have to be merciless, so get ready to be tough!
You will be surprised at how much money you could save this way. When you get to your destination and have finally settled in, why not spend some of your savings on the moving-in celebration of the year?

We all tend to travel with too much gear, and that includes when we move between homes. As a result we pay movers to  pack, transport and unpack goods that we really no longer require, and may pay dearly for that privilege too. And when we do try doing something about all the junk we have accumulated, we invariably are distracted or cannot find the time.
And the answer? Find a Cleaner to take the pain out of the gain! Why so?
o A cleaner has the time to do the job thoroughly, and often has a sharp eye to make suggestions too. Moreover, when you Find One on Mr-Skill the chances are excellent that you could trust them.
o A cleaner is objective and will ask you probing  questions when you allow them to. They will not hang on to all the alibis that you sometimes use either. For them an anorak without a sleeve, or a cell phone without a battery are both useless junk, although they may hold memories too for you.
o A cleaner is also an expert at tidying up and finding storage places for the goods that you decide to keep. When negotiating for Cleaner Quotes to de-clutter it is fairer to agree an hourly rate instead of a fixed price one, because neither of you probably have the faintest idea how long the job could take.
Several Cleaners in London that I know well make their main living out de-cluttering people’s lives from time to time. Why not try the experience too? You could be amazed at the difference this makes to your peace of mind.

Christmas is the most fantastic time of the year for many. Family and friends gather from near and far and the house is often filled with the happy sounds of three generations again. But when this happens do we think about the unfamiliar safety hazards that may pop and plan for them? Do so, and you celebrate Christmas safely too.
o Are the grand kids coming over? If so, then maybe you need to find a housekeeper LOL. Remember that little children are made to be curious and are quite capable of getting into trouble. Keep the pots on  the back rings of the hob, the safety net on the jacuzzi and the cat out of the cot and you have made a food start.
o Are the parents and in-laws coming to visit? If so, remember that their balance and eyesight may not be as good as yours, and that they could trip and fall where you would not have a problem. Play safe and do a check around the garden paths before they arrive.
o All the extra clutter in an overcrowded home can be a sure-fire recipe for tripping and injuries. Don’t spoil their fun, but do keep the place as tidy as you can.
o Watch those extra electric cables draped across the floor to Christmas Trees and other temporary electrical gadgets. Run them around the edge of the room rather – if this is not possible, cover them with a rug. Housekeepers London Incorporated even remove dangerous cables, although I personally think this is a little bit over the top.
o Be careful with decorative lights. Those with green colour coding on the box are suitable for indoor use  only, and may never be used on a Christmas Tree whose needles have begun falling out. Do not leave them switched on when unattended.
o Finally, never overload wall sockets with too many plugs. If a plug or cable is warm to the touch you are overloading your lil’ ol’ house, and could be risking an electrical fire. Unplug a few rather than risk damaging electronic appliances.
o Of the subject of the perils of over-eating I could probably write a book. The good news is it is Christmas Day tomorrow and you can have your fill.
Mr-Skill wishes you a happy and safety conscious Christmas Day. If you can’t face the mess the following morning, you could always get housekeeper quotes from us instead. Have a good one.
