As it’s nearly Valentines Day, everyone who isn’t currently in a relationship might be finding it particularly noticeable that they are single. More people try going on dates, others embrace being single, and some just look for companionship. When it comes to dating, there are lots of options, especially with the whole of the internet connecting the world the way it has in the last few years. Connecting people to others is a very good thing, but it can often lead to the difficulties of long distance relationships.

I’ve been in a long distance relationship before, attempting to date someone from across the ocean, in a different country. It’s a pretty hard task.

Once you have gone through all the stress of finding a new house, signing agreements and paying the large number of fees there are, the daunting task of actually moving sets ahead, so here are some tips to help with the moving process.

Sort out what you do not need before moving house

You’ve probably gathered a lot of items between moving into this house and the day you move out. People tend to purchase new items and expand to fill various spaces around them. Sorting out your items and throwing away or donating stuff you do not use or want, will really make a difference when moving in. Instead of having to sort in your new house while trying to put everything away and seeing what fits, you can just bring over what you do feel you need to keep, leaving behind whatever old items or unused items you had previously.
