If you were moving, and could only take what could fit in your car.......

I would probably take the following things with me 1. The file that My fiance and I have various things that we like to keep private. 2. Two Weeks worth of clothes for my fiance and I 3. Our Laptop, as well as the accessories 4. The X-box as well as all the games 5. Any and all collectibles we have (which aren't extensive but are ample) 6. The CD player/Dvd Player as well as out t.v. Did I mention we have a blazer? I suppose that is more of an advantage. However I must ask, what if you had kids? How would you divide it, and well how would you get the kids in the car too?

This would be impossible for me since it is just not myself that would have to move things in the one car. But for sure the photo albums, computers, way too many sentimental things to mention especially since both or our parents are deceased and we would want to take those things with us. I can just see us now going down the highway looking like the Beverly Hillbillies with things tied to the car. hahaha

I would try to take the jewelery, my PC Laptop, Albums and Certificates and necessary documents, Pets, and some other stuffs until I will find out that I can't any more of the stuffs.

Jeez, this brings back memories. I've moved so many times like this when I was a kid. My Mom moved like every 3-6 months and 95% of the time we had nothing but the car to pack in. I had certain things that had to go...my books, photos, clothes, pet, keepsakes and personals. So many times little treasures got left behind b/c there was not enough room. Now I'm settled down and can actually unpack things and not have to worry about packing them up again in a hurry. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

When I moved out of my apartment after 16 years I did not have a car, or a new home to go to, so I could only take what I could carry. I gave away or disposed of everything except the following: some clothing and a few pairs of shoes 5 books my poetry official papers and documents, banking and personal documentation a radio other small personal items I took what I could fit into a large suitcase, a backpack and a shoulder bag. I have since moved in my new home and have been here for one year now. I have bought some new essential items and any clothing which was necessary. My only big purchase was my laptop, which I need for work. I have bought more used books than anything else, having donated my previous library to charity.

eeek....I would be stuck!! I dont own a car! Gee I would get my mum to come up and cram as much as I could in her car and ask her to store it for me, but then my boyfriend's brother has a van so I would cheat and ask him to drive me and my belongings. Though when we moved to my boyfriend's hometown, we just about managed to fit everything in the van, we have now been in out own house about a year and a half and the amount of things we have accumilated is unbelievable!! I would leave the funiture and as my clothes and personal things come first. It would be hard trying to decide what to leave behind!!

I have a Honda van, it MIGHT just hold all the cats in their crates....

Very good question and of interest to me, because we are considering moving back home this fall, we are from Hurricane katrina and although we won't be going back to the exact place, we have spent 3 years in Ohio, and have made a home here. I pulled a 12 foot railer there once and refuse tto do it again so I do have a pickup so maybe I could get a little more in it. I would use the big plastic storage bins from the dollar store, and first to go in would be my computer, and the stuff that goes with it, second a space for my dog in the seat by me. Now I have to sort through all my stuff and only pick out what i can haul. My food processor, the recipe box, mostly my kitchen stuff, my pictures, my glider rocker, my lanps that my best friend gave me, my clock, I guess just odds and ends that mean something to me. I have this king size bed and I told hubby when he finds a way to get it home then I will go, but without a trailer It impossible. It hard to choose when you can only take a small portion of the home you have had or made. But the things that mean the most to me that is what i would take..

We moved from Mississippi to New Jersey after Hurricane Katrina. We pretty much only had enough left to fill our car! We bought all new stuff when we got here. We would have to fit our daughter in her car seat in the car too now. I just don't know if I could leave all my stuff behind again. My pictures would be packed for sure, my laptop, my favorite pillows and blankets.. My husband wouldn't leave the projector or Xbox 360 so those would have to fit too. We would need our clothes. Yes, I can see our Dodge Neon filling up really fast!

Funny that you shoud ask. I moved two years ago to Montana from Georgia, and we set up housekeeping there with only what could fit in our truck. The rest of our household stuff got lost in transit and took more than 5 months to arrive. We had planned for this though, and as such took dishes, stable foodstuffs, silverware, and games. We also had changes of clothing for various climates, cell phones, computers, pictures, memorabilia, family heirlooms, jewelry (never ship valuables via military movers), and of course myself, my daughter, and my wife. Those first few months were interesting and didn't involve activities that we were used to, but we had what we needed and made it alright. Very few things in life can't be replaced, and if you have the people that you love around you, then you can survive anything.
