I know that several mylotters are moving soon and so when I saw this article I thought not only will it be beneficial for us in the future, but it'd also beneficial for those who are moving soon. One thing the article mentioned we've already done, which is to wrap the plates individually, however we did not wrap them all in one big thing afterwards
In any case, here ya go : did this help?

I am glad I could share some tips with you. I hope that you can find a place of your own shortly after moving. You maybe, if you're financially ready to, can look online in advance to see the places that are available. A lot of places are going to have move in specials at this time of the year. Hotpads.com is a site that we use, I am not sure if it's available everywhere, but it is available for the USA.

We deliver a local free paper, and always have some left over. Apart from making this into BBQ briquettes, we have used this as packaging for moving. We even donate some to a lady who breeds puppies- for use as litter.
So if you know someone who delivers papers, chances are that they may have some spare for you to use.

We have already packed a lot of our items, and they are in storage. Here all we have left really is our t.v., bed, our video game systems, our t.v. stand, our clothes, our dresser, our night stand, it seems like a lot but we have a lot more stored away.
We won't be moving for awhile, but if we need newspapers we usually just save a few. We get two papers, one from the next county over every day, and one for our county, which only comes out on Wednesday's. We've got friends and family we can collect paper from if need be to.

Oh yes we've talked about your moving around and how you packed with suit cases and trunks. You were on the road a lot if I'm not mistaken?

Maybe you can save some money here and there and be able to go out and travel some during the holiday season, visit your son in Tennessee.

We just moved three years ago and I am hoping that that is it..we have been with the same landlords for 9 years now and are very happy with where we are now so unless we are kicked out or the landlords sell the house I dont plan on moving unless I am buying my own home or heading out to my grave LOL

It's great you were able to find a good landlord and that they have more then one property so you've been able to move but stay with the same people I am sure you've come to trust. My husband and I would like to find a place like that too, a house or an apartment where we would be able to move around with.
