Re: So much STUFF!!
I MUST remember to clean the bikes - forgot about that! Have the jeyes in the cupboard!
We were told that our shipping would take five weeks with our quote, so the container is being filled on Tuesday, we thought this would mean it would arrive just as we are ready to move into our home. This past Thursday I got a letter with an estimated delivery time of just three weeks I guess it'll have to go in storage for a few weeks!

I couldn't believe it when our estimated delivery time was 2 weeks..we were expecting at least 4.So had to arrange storage for a month.

Re: So much STUFF!!
when you come to that drawer in the kitchen that everyone has, that contains paperclips, coaster, sellotape, pens, fuses, string, stanley blade, old birthday card, 25p worth of pennies, laggy bands, permanent marker, random paperwork, tape measure,3 keys that you have no idea what they fit, drawing pins not in the box............................... you get the picture.
Do you take any of it with you? Hell no, but throwing it away in a bin liner is just mortifying - makes the whole thing very real!!!!

Re: So much STUFF!!
UPDATE:
Freecycle is an AMAZING thing
I have shifted 20 old-ish computer books in an afternoon to good homes!
I hate throwing perfectly good things out (which is half of my issue). I think I am going to empty all my old uni folders and put them and half empty notepads on there. Someone will have a use for them I am sure
