Has any one moved before with no help? I'm moving interstate with my 3 year old in 7 weeks. And don't know where to start. I've asked my dad but he said it's something I have to do on my own. It's littlery just me and my daughter we dont have any friends we can ask either. And all my family are back up north where I'm going. I'm starting to panic.

I'd be telling your dad where to go next time he needs help, this isn't something you need to do on your own, that's his way of saying 'I don't want to help you'.
I guess your next moves depend on your circumstances, do you have a house lined up or are you staying with family til you get on your feet?
If the latter it may be easier to sell the majority of your furniture and start again. If you've got a place you need to contact a removalist company about having your belongings shipped and stored until you get there.
Will you drive or catch a plane?
If driving, consider your route, rest stops etc, organise food and entertainment.
If going by plane, start organising tickets etc.
You'll be alright hun Xx
Yep, had to hire a company to help. It was costly but it was the only way I could do it.
The only time my parents said this to one of my siblings was because the move was something they really didn't support and they moved her regularly. If your dad isn't helping you he's either an ass or you need to consider the move. But hire a truck or trailer if necessary
Yes , but my kids are older than yours so could help. Maybe your dad is upset you're moving? Or physically unable? You might have to pay someone to help you. Have you got a removalist sorted or are you needing to move it all up there yourself? If you do need to move it maybe some family could come down and help you?
I'll go against the grain and assume your dad wants you to do it on your own because he wants to see you stand on your own two feet.
If you're prepared and have saved for it hire a removalist. At 7 weeks out you have plenty of time to shop around for backloads which will save you money. If you're not prepared but have the capacity to save for it then ditto.
If you've just been winging it up until now, sell up and use the money to transport the two of you. It might mean paying more in rent for a furnished place when you get there or living frugally until you gradually build your appliances back up but you'll be where you wanted to be and prove you could do it on your own.
We are moving soon...I hired a skip bin and have sold pretty much anything unused in the last year.
I went though my kitchen and have pretty much left a few pots and pans, plates ect...
