Default accumulated stuff - sort it now !

we've been renovating our house, bought it cheap spent all available time on it...hope to profit.

Last bit of it is the carpets this Saturday, in moving all the stuff to clear the floors for the fitters we've had to try to get everything in the living / dining room which are laminated (dont need the carpet)

This is a 25ft room, it's packed and I thought a 20ft container would suffice us.

Don't underestimate the amount of stuff you aquire that needs sorting !!!

And we still have the garage contents and stuff at parents that we need to sort.

We have booked a 20ft container too, but at the rate my hubby is sorting things and visiting the dump, i reckon we will be looking at hand luggage by the time we leave!

I'm just going thru the sorting process at the moment. I can't believe the amount of crap that I have been lugging from location to location. I have things in boxes from 3 moves ago, so think it might be time to get tough at just do a big chuck out. Does anyone want 100 mini tubes of toothpaste that BA puts into their travel kits?

I gave my small god kids all the free airplane bags/socks/eyeshades/etc etc, they were happy

I collected them on our honeymoon, why I dont know.

I am using up all the free shampoos, I feel I have to but my hair doenst like it.

I am on a clean up mission and we're not off til end of next year.

I am also insisting we eat up all those tins of food you aquire, we are having interesting dinners :-)
