10 Things People Forget When Moving

Here is the list. After reading them, if you would like to comment on them feel free to do so.

1. Your records—Gather together all of your records. Your medical, dental, yours and your children’s school records. Some schools require original documents, so copies will not do. God forbid that something would happen to you before you find a new family doctor. Having your medical records on hand can alleviate is problem.

You may want to have a copy of your pet’s records also.

2. Hidden items—Go through all your closets and collect everything you have stashed away. This includes your valuables that are hidden way back on a shelf. Get a step stool if you have to. If you cannot see it, you will probably forget it. If you have any hidden compartments in your closets or rooms, double check them also.

3.Old phone books—Take your old phone books with you. This will save you time when you need to call somebody from your old town or city. This is especially handy if you move to a small town from the big city. This will also save you money in directory assistance charges.

4. The cleaners—Remember to pick up your dry cleaning. Also pick up anything you had repaired or are in storage. Such as watches, furs, or shoes. Other items to remember are returns, such as videos, library books, or the neighbor’s power drill.

5. New address—Keep a copy of your new address with you. This is a must do. You will need to refer to it when setting up your new utility service, cable or satellite service, water service. Remember to have your mail forwarded to your new address. You can go to USPS.com too change your mailing address online. You might want to change your address with your credit card companies ahead of time; you know how the Post Office is. If you depend on them, more than likely it won’t happen.

6.The opener—This is another common item that is forgotten. Remember to take the garage door opener out of your car, and leave it on the counter. It will save you having to mail it back to them.

7. Banks—If you are moving out of town, you might want to set up a bank account ahead of time. Some banks put a hold on out of town checks. Some merchants won’t accept out of town checks. This saves embarrassment if you want to pay the pizza delivery guy with a check.

8. Keys—Try to get all of your keys collected that you have given out since you have lived there. These would be the ones you gave to your neighbor, your friends, relatives, and the one under the planter.

9. Pets—Make sure you make arrangements to transport your pets. Pet carriers are almost a must have. You don’t want your dog or cat running all over your vehicle. Also have a leash for either of them. You know you will have to let them out once in awhile.

10.Cleaning—I saved this one for last because it is the last thing you will do. Keep the cleaning supplies out, in a separate box or container. Even if you are not trying to get a cleaning deposit back, it is polite to at least clean up a little before you leave you previous place of residence.

Remember the vacuum cleaner, you will need it also.

We hope this list helps. If you notice, we said remember, instead of don’t forget. If a person is told, don’t forget, 9 out of 10 times they will forget.

If you need any moving supplies, moving boxes, or moving equipment we have them all here at Ultimate Moving Supplies.

I put my planter inside and one of my cats peed on it, how can I stop her from using it as a litter box?

It's my basil, and I put it inside lately because it's cold at night, but one of cats peed in it.
question: would that kill my basil?
question 2: how do I stop her from peeing in the planter (and putting dirt all over the floor) - right now the planter is outside for tonight.
SHe has two clean litter boxes (I scoop everyday, and I clean it thoroughly once a month)
It's just that I want to keep that plant alive a little longer... and need to put it inside.
Any advice welcome!
thanks!
it's the first year I bring a planter inside the house...
she is an indoor cat - spayed -4 years old. and healthy.
Thank you all, I will try the foil first and then the jacks etc... so many great ideas!!!

put tin foil around the base of it,,cats hate foil
