If you rent a truck, its cheaper on sundays too.

For the exit-clean, if you want to save time, get a list of what the real-estate agent wants and work to that.

Prioritise your utilities - if there's anything you can do without (landline?) then don't install it for a week or so - don't forget you'll be getting bills from the old place which will possibly be hefty along with the connection fees for the new place.

Good luck - um, as the 25th is a public holiday, how will you drop the keys back?
