Moving Home Planner for Excel, Packing Tracker, Checklist, Budget & Box Labels

Find the kettle. The rest can wait five minutes.

Moving house comes with boxes, quotes, address changes and approximately seventeen people asking where the scissors are.

Moving, Mostly Sorted is an editable Excel moving-home planner that keeps the practical bits together: what is in each box, which jobs are next, what the move is costing and the essentials you need for the first night.

Made for real family life. You can use it for a small flat, a family house or your next fresh start.

Nobody is grading your towel-folding.

SIX CONNECTED WORKBOOK VIEWS

• Overview — packed and unpacked box counts, days until moving, the next six outstanding dated jobs, known moving costs, money still to pay and budget left.

• Boxes — 120 records for a unique box ID, destination room, contents, opening priority, location and packed / arrived / unpacked progress. Duplicate IDs and inconsistent progress are flagged.

• Checklist — 60 task spaces, including 22 editable starter jobs. Dates follow your moving date, with offsets for jobs before and after the move. Done and skipped jobs leave the next-jobs list.

• Costs — 50 records for estimates, actual totals, money paid, forecast costs and amounts still to pay. Keep a deposit on the same row as its total cost.

• Address Changes — 50 records, including eight optional starter categories. Keep track of the services you need to contact, next steps and completion records. • Moving Day — 30 first-night essential spaces, including 12 suggestions, plus notes for transport, helpers, access, children or pets, food and sleep.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

• One editable Excel workbook (.xlsx), with six tabs.

• A three-page A4 Quick Start Guide (.pdf).

• Six A4 printable pages in one PDF: Box Record, Box Labels, Moving Costs, Address Updates, Moving Day and First-Night Bag.

• A short Read Me First file (.txt).

THE BOX LABELS

The printable label page includes four labels with space for the box ID, room, contents and opening priority. Print extra copies for your own move. Cut around the dashed outer borders with scissors, then tape labels to the boxes. The other printable pages need no cutting.

START WITH THE DATE

Save a working copy, add your moving date and choose the starter jobs you need. A day offset of -7 means a week before moving; 0 means moving day; +7 means a week after. Change the moving date once and the checklist deadlines follow it.

USE IN MICROSOFT EXCEL

Editable .xlsx spreadsheet. No macros required. White cells are yours; shaded cells calculate and are not locked. A computer or larger screen is recommended for the wider tables. Excel software and devices are not included.

PLEASE KNOW

This is a digital download. No physical item, printed label or device is included. Listing pictures show illustrative entries. Your workbook has clean household details, box and cost records, with editable starter jobs, address categories and first-night suggestions retained.

The PDFs are ordinary printables, not fillable forms. They do not calculate or sync with the spreadsheet. The organiser does not send reminders, book transport, update addresses or track a box's physical location. You enter the plans and progress yourself.

Starter jobs and timing are examples to adapt to your own arrangements. Address categories are optional examples, not a complete or legal checklist. Check each organisation's own process. Costs are in pounds (£). Known totals leave out incomplete or invalid rows; prompts show what needs fixing.

For the purchaser's personal household use. You may reuse it for another move and print more labels for your own boxes. Please do not resell, redistribute, give away or publish the files as a template.
