They also said the weather in the UK was a big reason for moving, adding: "It's cold, it's miserable, it's wet. "You get back from work and you just have to stay inside. It's just quite depressing."

Declutter Before You Pack Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load. 2. Create an Inventory Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move. 3. Use Quality Packing Materials Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move. 4. Label Everything Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized. 5. Pack a 'First Day' Box Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day. 6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place. 7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury. 8. Colour-Code Your Boxes Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home. Public Reaction One person wrote: "I was in London during winter. Getting dark so early in the day and with the cold weather was so depressing. Sorry how can that be enjoyable. Sunny warm weather anytime beats this." Another commented: "I'm Malaysian and now live in the UK. I feel you; I went to Costa at 4:55 PM and was told they were closing."
