Guide on Moving House With Pets

Website: www.vansandhands.com

Moving homes with pets can be confusing and anxiety-inducing for pets. To ensure a smooth transition, it is essential to visit your current veterinarian, arrange a separate room or space for pets, and consider other options like hiring a pet sitter or booking a kennel or cattery. Ensure your pet is tethered securely in your vehicle and has all necessary vaccinations.

 Read Top Tips for Moving Homes with Pets in the UK, to learn more.

Take a stroll around your new neighborhood in the days leading up to the move to help them adjust to new situations. Let home moving services in London know about any pets moving with you upfront, especially if you are transporting exotic species like tropical fish, reptiles, or amphibians.

On D-day, use pheromone diffusers to help pets relax and avoid anxiety. Regularly check in with your pet, lock any doors and windows behind you, and provide them with clean water and toys to keep them occupied. Plan meals carefully, avoiding feeding your pets two hours before the move to prevent travel sickness.

To move homes with pets in the UK, it’s essential to stay at home for the first few days, update their details, be patient, and ensure each room is secure. Keep cats indoors for a week, and alert former neighbors about the move if they see them. If your pet exhibits signs of sadness or depression, seek expert assistance. Be gentle with your pet and don’t panic!

so we've talked about Bakugou not making it through nnn. We've talked about Sero, Denki, Izuku, and Shouto also failing. Is Kiri the only one who makes it through? by sheer willpower? jumping you when it's 00:01 on December 1st?

you know what, i think at least one of them has to make it through, and consider kirishima is packing some serious heat and is probably real serious about foreplay — i think he could do it !!

and i think it's like. no nut november. but that doesn't mean he can't spend a few hours with you in your bed or on the couch or on the counter 😌 and he's probably edging himself to all hell, but !! i think that's the only thing that could help him make it !!!! and then december 1st it's!! go time !!!!

Torch got new tings lately ✨️ some gifts from my amazing friends (ily @losech and @petrichorpaws 💕), a barkbox, and a petsmart haul 😌

Absolutely in love with the now complete black galaxy set I have from Campfire Collars (@losech ) 🖤✨️ also greatly enjoying the new ruffwear leash @petrichorpaws got me, it's the same model as my favorite one they have to use walking Raven 😂 but river pattern!! And blue and green for Torch and Wrigley's colors ✨️

Torch is, naturally, ecstatic about ALL THE SNACKS AND CHEWS AND TOYS, and likes any collar/leash bc it means outside time lol. He's very happy to have another antler, they're his favorite but I hate buying them bc like.... you can just find those in the woods. Why are they so expensive and why does the pet store always have them sawed up into smaller pieces that's so obnoxious. But I found one I liked and he's worth it

6 Witchy Tips For Moving Into A New Home

Here are six tips for when you move into a new home!

1) Physically cleanse the space before a magical cleanse. From personal experience, I find that oftentimes cleaning the physical space removes at least 50% of the stagnant energy I'm feeling. This goes for anytime I'm about to do a magical cleanse, no matter how long I've lived in the home. Having a clean home is important and a messy home = a cluttered mind. Not only will you feel better, but it will make your magical cleanse go smoother with less work.

2) Have multiple steps to your magical cleanse. Smoke cleansing ain't gonna be enough. Come up with something that you can do on a regular basis. For example, I do a deep cleanse 1-2x a month. While I do smoke cleanse as part of it, I refresh my wards and there are several more steps (that I am choosing to not share online). Examples you can include would be a simmer pot & aromatherapy, floor washes (and a spray for the carpet), adding salt bowls to absorb negative energy, locking your mirrors, door/window washes while drawing sigils on them, refreshing your altars, lighting a protection candle & doing a simple spell, etc. Do you see how much this adds to the cleanse?

3) You don't need to sit and banish the spirits in your home. This is their home too. If they mean me no harm, they are welcome to stay and I make that very clear to them. They even have their own altar with offerings! Working with house spirits is important to me, so I make sure they feel comfortable with me being the new "caretaker". I also wait about a month before doing my first magical cleanse, making them aware of each step as I go along. Oftentimes in the future, they will assist me!

4) Set up wards, but if you plan on moving be aware that you should take them down when you go. Have a strong defensive system. If you live in an apartment have no fear, for there are many types of wards you can set up there as well! Get those ready within a month of moving.

5) Make your mini garden. If you are renting, raised garden beds are your best friend. Living in an apartment? If you have a balcony, put herbs & flowers out there. If not, prioritize the ones you want and place them on a windowsill with plenty of sunlight. This will also attract the land spirits to you & you can begin developing a better relationship with them right away.

6) Be respectful of the land and house spirits, above all else. Light a candle or incense for them here and there. Give them food & drink offerings, whenever you feel called to. Communicate with them. They can assist you in your spellwork and oftentimes will. If you create something special with them, you will have their support.

Thinking back to the parking lot conversation I had with my coworker after I fully broke down and told her everything that has been going on at home and how I feel so fucking trapped because I can’t afford to leave and she compared it to intimate partner violence and it just. Sank in in a way that it hadn’t before. Like when my therapist told me to imagine if somebody treated the girl I babysit the way I was treated, would I think that was something to brush off or would I immediately report it? Just. Having somebody force you to view your struggles from another perspective is so powerful.

Hey Sophie, I'm going to be in Melbourne soon! Do you have any tips for what to do, see, or eat?

Hey! Ah! How exciting! Melbourne's a really fun city to visit, and I feel really does have something for everyone.

Hmmm, tip wise, I think I'd say:

grab a Myki card for public transport. You can buy these at any news agent, train station or petrol station. Melbourne has a free inner-city tramzone, which is great for getting around the CBD, but you should also take advantage of Melbourne's incredibly good train network which'll open up the broader city to you. A Myki card works on all forms of public transport - buses, trams (for trams outside of the free tram zone) and trains - so they're pretty straight forward.

On that note, the PTV app is pretty useless for public transport (you're better off using Google maps tbh), but it does let you top up your Myki instantly via your phone, which makes it useful. The TramTracker app is very good for trams though, especially because you can type in the number of the tram you're on and know exactly which stops you're heading towards. The logos look like this: (trust the doggo)

Don't drive in the city - it's a layer of hell.

Have a little bit of cash on you. Most places take cards or smart watches, but you'll need gold coins for certain things too, particularly accessing certain gardens or markets.

Pack for all weather. Melbourne's known for having four seasons in a day, and having lived here for almost five years now, it's not an exaggeration. Layering is your friend, and always have an umbrella!

Hook turns are a real thing here, and whether you're driving or just crossing the road, they're worth being aware of.

Places to visit

Melbourne's famous for its street art, and while you can just wander around and observe yourself, doing a tour is particularly fun (and makes sure you see the best stuff!)

Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is one of my favourite places to show out-of-towners (although that's probably partly just because it's me, haha). It's a museum of film, tv and games, and explores the moving image as both a form of commercial entertainment and as a form of art. Their cinema is often playing really interesting films too.

National Gallery Victoria is always worth checking out.

Chapel Street is known for it's little galleries, restaurants and indie shops, and makes for a fun day out.

Queen Vic Market and South Melbourne Market are both iconic and for good reason. They've been operational since the mid-1800s, and you can often feel that when you're in them. They can get packed though, so just a heads up.

I love love love heritage buildings and exploring history through place, so will always recommend checking out the National Trust's historic sites in Melbourne. Rippon Lea Estate is a personal fave and only about 20 minutes out of the CBD on the train. They shot parts of Miss Fisher there, and even if you don't get to tour the house (although I recommend you do!) even just exploring the gardens are beautiful.

Abbotsford Convent & Collingwood Children's Farm are right next door to each other and a pretty amazing day out.

If you fancy seeing a movie, my all time fave cinemas are The Classic and The Lido, which are owned by the same family. Either spot is worth checking out.

If you're looking to see a show or performance, you can look for the big ones at any of the big theatres, but for smaller, exciting indie stuff, I'd check out the programs at Malthouse, La Mama, Art House, Meat Market, and Footscray Community Arts Centre,

What to eat

Wellllll, this ultimately depends on your budget, haha, since Melbourne restaurants can run the gamut. Some of my favourite restaurants that are a bit more on the expensive side but great for a special occasion:

Maha's probably my favourite restaurant in Melbourne? It's modern Middle Eastern cuisine and their seafood in particular is divine. It's a set menu, and like I said, a little exy, haha.

Mabu Mabu is modern Australian First Nations (Torres Strait Islander) cuisine and is very good! They sell some of their own sauces too, and I highly recommend snagging their pineapple hot sauce! It's also very easy to get to, as it's located in Fed Square right next to the Koori Heritage Trust which often has Indigenous exhibitions on (and a great gift store if you're looking for anything to take home)

Chin Chin's - delicious South East Asian fusion cuisine. Again, a little exy.

Transformer - incredible vegetarian restaurant. They do both ala carte and a fixed menu. Highly recommend their fixed menu! They're also very good with dietary requirements, particularly if you're gluten free or if you have annoying allergies for a vegetarian restaurant like me, haha (tomato and eggplant).

Cheaper eats that are also delicious:

A little out in the South Side 'burbs, but Saigon Mamma is my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Melbourne.

Rice Paper Scissors is good too, as is Chocolate Buddha, Green Man's Arms, and oh! Studley Park Boathouse is a fave. It's beautiful location-wise with pretty standard (but good) pub eats, and they've got a lot of water birds you can feed and boats you can hire pretty cheap ($30 for a kayak, $40 for a row boat) to row along the Yarra River. It's also really close to the Convent + Children's Farm if you fancy making a day of it.

If you're willing to travel a little further out of inner Melbourne, I'd also suggest:

Healesville Sanctuary - the bird show is i n c r e d i b l e. I took my nephews last year and the older one still talks about it, haha.

Mornington Penninsula Hot Springs - Mornington Penninsula is a great day trip from Melbourne. It's only just over an hour drive, and it's pretty stunning. Full of wineries and beachy walks. The hot springs are so relaxing though, and really centring if you need it.

Mount Macedon - home of the Hanging Rock of Picnic at Hanging Rock fame! Plus it's just a beautiful area.

Cranborne Gardens - the Royal Botanical Gardens in the city are beautiful too, but I'm particularly partial to these ones.

Hope this gets you started, and just let me know if you have any other questions!

Top 10 Tips for a Stress-Free Moving Experience

Moving to a new destination can be exciting yet daunting. From packing your belongings to settling in a new area, the process involves many tasks that can easily lead to stress and anxiety. However, with careful planning and organization, you can minimize the stress ensuring a smooth transition to your new home.

Here are tips for a stress-free moving experience:

Start Early: Begin planning your move as soon as it is possible to avoid last-minute rush and panic. Create a timeline and checklist of tasks to keep yourself organized throughout the process.

Declutter and Downsize: Take the opportunity to declutter your belongings before you start packing. Donate, sell, or discard items that you no longer need or use. Moving with less clutter will not only save you time and effort but also reduce moving costs.

Gather Packing Supplies: Stock up on essential packing supplies such as sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and markers. Having the right materials on hand will make packing and labeling your belongings much easier.

Pack Strategically: Pack room by room and label each and every box . Use colored labels or a numbering system to streamline the unpacking process at your new house. Remember to pack essentials separately for easy access on the arrival.

Plan for Pets and Children: If you have pets or children, make some special arrangements to ensure their comfort and safety during the move. Arrange for pet sitters or childcare on relocation day to minimize distractions and stress. Pack a separate bag with essentials for your pets and children to keep them comfortable during the transition.

Hire Professional Movers: Consider hiring professional and best movers and packers to assist with heavy lifting and transportation. Research reputable moving companies in your area and get quotes to compare prices and services. Hiring professionals will not only save you time and energy but also ensure the safety of your belongings during transit.

Notify Important Parties: Inform relevant parties of your upcoming move, such as: utility companies, banks, insurance providers, and subscription services. Arrange for disconnection and reconnection of utilities at both your old and new addresses to avoid any disruptions.

Take Care of Legal as well as Administrative Tasks: Update your address with the postal service, government agencies, and other relevant institutions. Transfer or cancel memberships, subscriptions, and services as needed. Do not forget to forward your mail to your new address to ensure that you receive important correspondence.

Stay Organized : On the day of relocation, stay organized by keeping important documents, valuables, and essential items easily accessible. Communicate with your movers and packers and provide them with clear instructions regarding fragile items and special handling requirements.

Take Time to Unwind: Once you've arrived at your new home, take some quality time to unwind and settle in. Prioritize unpacking essential items and gradually tackle the remaining boxes at your own pace. Explore your new surroundings, meet your new neighbors, and start making new memories in your new home.

By following these tips, you can ensure a successful and enjoyable relocation experience. Remember to stay organized, plan ahead, and don't hesitate to seek help when needed. Happy moving!
