Can't stand living out of boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-334723 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:13:02 +0000 Turd Ferguson 334723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm horrible. Poor fiance got to experience the wrath of my anal/compulsiveness firsthand when we moved in together a few years back... Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-334701 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:03:13 +0000 SweetMamaM 334701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can only unpack if I have specific well organized places to put things into. We moved into a much larger home this year so it's taken me a while to unpack some of the boxes as we waited for the appropriate storage solutions. All done now though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-334684 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 07:42:09 +0000 MrsLMA 334684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We move December 1st and I am totally the kind that unpacks right away! I'm trying to get it all done right away since I'm in my "energized" second trimester... take advantage of this extra energy and nesting instinct! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-334615 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 04:17:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 334615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, boxes drive me nuts!! I always put things away right away and then end up moving things once I get the flow down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-334600 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 02:57:16 +0000 Sweet T 334600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before baby, I was definitely that type of person. After baby, it gets done when it gets done. We've been in this house for almost 2 months now and boxes are still piled up in the guest room. It doesn't help that DH was just gone for a 3 week training. Hopefully, we'll have everything unpacked soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-334580 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 01:37:23 +0000 BSB 334580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how well I organized before I packed. </p> <p>It's the boxes that have random stuff in it that are always hard to unpack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-334533 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 00:10:36 +0000 banana 334533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes definitely! I can't stand seeing boxes everywhere. I have to unpack right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333877 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:28:25 +0000 mrsjazz 333877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved on Monday and we are in box hell right now. I don't know how you unpacked that quickly! I was unpacking almost all day yesterday and I barely made a dent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333862 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:19:19 +0000 edelweiss 333862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we unpacked 80% of stuff in the first two days--but after that, it's anyone's guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333807 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:59:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 333807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, this is us next week.

Sorting through laundry, dealing with all the toiletries and random souvenirs... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333674 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:10:10 +0000 ladyfingers 333674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely. But in practice? Took me three months to unpack our house when we moved in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333631 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:50:37 +0000 MrsCastro 333631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes i am, when DH and i moved into our condo i ended up two days off work to unpack and organize all the stuff...i cant live out of boxs or not knowing where stuff is at...i have since reorganized stuff for better fits...but...i love organizing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333627 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:47:54 +0000 heffalump 333627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We moved when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with LO..... and we still have some boxes! It's really because there's no place for the stuff so we just threw the boxes in a closet. One day I'm sure the things will just go to goodwill.... I just cant part with it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333620 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:44:59 +0000 photojane 333620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wish. embarrassingly enough, we moved in here in june, and there are still piles of rubbermaids in the nursery that we have to go through. it's mostly attic stuff, but i just haven't felt like messing with it. now that we have to start the nursery, we need to finally go through it all, but... i don't wanna! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333560 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:20:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 333560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't stand living with boxes and things not put away so I always unpack as soon as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333550 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:17:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 333550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OHMYGOSH girl you are crazy!</p> <p>We moved last Monday and it's soo hard unpacking with a baby around. Now I'm sick too so I'm putting it off.</p> <p>DH hasn't been around to help at all either. I also have a bad back so I can't lift heavy things. I have a pile of stuff for him to do that he hasn't done yet :P</p> <p>I hate having the house a mess and boxes everywhere but I just suck at getting down to doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333548 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:16:45 +0000 googly-eyes 333548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just like you. It took me a few days this past time because I was almost 8 months pregnant (34+w?) and MIL insisted I wait to do the kitchen til she could help (so nice!) but I did most of it within 24 hrs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333543 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:14:54 +0000 mrsjyw 333543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yup! i hate clutter or disorganization, need to get everything in its place right away!</p> <p>yayyy you're all moved in :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333426 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:31:30 +0000 MaisyMay 333426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so much. We have a few boxes of stuff in our storage unit that are still packed from when we moved into our apartment about 16 months ago. Only about 3, but still. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333418 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:28:08 +0000 Smurfette 333418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

I probably moved my dishes and other kitchen things around at least 3 times before finding THE perfect spot for them (e.g. convenience while cooking, washing to storage, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333372 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:04:52 +0000 Rescuemom10 333372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally am. Drives DH crazy. I cant sit still until every box is unpacked and every picture is hung. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-that-needs-to-unpack-asap-after-youve-moved#post-333365 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:02:09 +0000 hilsy85 333365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes for the most part...when we moved in April, I unpacked almost everything within the first week. The rest of the boxes were filled with things that didn't have a place yet (books, baby stuff, etc) so those boxes got shoved into an empty room so I didn't have to look at them :) </p>
