And my deepest sympathies. Moving is one of the more nightmarish experiences around even if everything goes perfectly. The closest to bearable that I've seen are friends that have gotten full service high end movers as part of a relocation package. (You do nothing - they come to your place, pack everything up, move it to your new one, unpack it and put it where you say) And even that's no fun.

well apart from anything else they did send one van with only one crew, and so wanted help loading and unloading. when it was pointed out that this wasnt what I was paying for and they were already five hours late ariving for the second load after they should have finished unloading the whole lot at the other end. Should have finished unloading at 3 yesterday afternoon. Finally got through the door of the new house at 1:30 the next morning.

am only on temporarily tonight as I'm borrowing a relatives internet connection

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
