With only 21 days left before moving day, you'll find that things are really starting to get busy.

With only 21 days left before moving day, you'll find that things are really starting to get busy.

If any rooms need painting, it's a good idea to try to do so in the next few days, so they'll be ready, and order any packing supplies you think you'll need. Ordering as far in advance as possible is important so you'll have the supplies on hand when you need them.

You should start investigating schools in your new area, and make a list of questions you want to ask. While considering which school is the best choice for your family, you'll also have to consider how accessible it is, whether there's a bus to take your children there, and whether you'll need to pay for it.

Now is also the time when you'll want to go through the estimates you've been collecting from moving companies and van rental agencies. Once you have them narrowed down to the best candidates, you can book appointments to have them come out and give a final estimate based on the actual contents of your home.

By now you should have made arrangements to have utilities set up in your name in your new home, and notified your current utility companies of the last day you'll be needing their services. This is important, so you don't end up paying for services that you didn't use, or worse, not have them turned on when you need them.

Your Internet service is also something you should start preparing to transfer. Let your provider know when you're moving now; if they have to come pick up or move your equipment, now is a good time to arrange this. Internet service providers often have a minimum notice clause, so it's a good idea to make sure that you meet this, or you may have to pay a penalty.

There's no rest for the weary once the moving day countdown drops below the four-week mark!
