If you have children, take pictures of their
friends and start a scrapbook. Collect addresses and phone
numbers so your kids can keep in touch at holidays and other
times.
Have your friends pick up any items you are
giving away. These should all be out of the way before you
begin packing in earnest.
Collect any items which you have loaned to
neighbors or friends. Return those which you have borrowed.
Pick up items on lay away, anything being repaired or dry
cleaned, film being developed, and any other similar articles.
Donate other things to charity. Get a receipt
for tax purposes.
Start saying farewell to friends and
neighbors. Making just a few calls a day will give your more
time as moving day approaches for last minute things.
Give your new address and phone number in
writing to your friends when you see them.
Continue using up your coupons (movie
theaters, free passes, green stamps, pool passes, etc.) Give
the rest away.
