Thanks everyone, i am thinking i might even see what MIL is doing wednesday (her day off) and maybe see if she can watch Ava tuesday night and wednesday and then i can try and gtet a big chunk done without her... actually i might ring her now.
This is my fourth move in four years. If you have ten minutes when she's occupied have some boxes ready to go in the garage and pack non fiddly stuff. Only really takes ten minutes to fill a box and if you do that a few times a day it goes pretty quick.
Save the kitchen/buffet breakable stuff for Wednesday.
Pack a box specifically to open when you get their. One for you and DH and one for the girls. Essentials - toilet paper, kettle and cups/spoons/coffee etc, toiletries, toys, change of clothes, snacks etc.
MIL is all lined up, she is an hr away so taking Cyclone Ava there Tuesday night and will pick her up Wednesday night.
We have essentials at the house already as we have been doing work there so wont need any cooking utensils etc straight up which helps and then i can just unpack box by box as we go... will leave the girls things til last so they are the first unpacked so i can disrupt them as little as possible.
DD1 has had practice in her mattress on the floor and DD2 will be going into the cot so that might take some getting used to.. can't believe my princess will be in a bed at 19mths old.
