Have you got any approximate target dates in mind? Just remember it's never to early to start "de-cluttering". Do it little by little and it will really ease the last minute stress of moving. Good luck

Already in hand, am making weekly trips to the Sally Army trift store, they know my car by sight now! Have ditched more clothes than I knew I had (damn you large closets!)
On to selling stuff now (dressers etc) as taking only about 10% of our stuff back with us.

Good luck with everything Paws!!!!. I am in the process of doing my due dilligence to see if moving back to Jolly 'Ole is the way to go. Very scarey and very exciting at the same time. I am thinking next summer and the info binder I started is already filling up!!!!

My partners settlement visa was granted today, so it's beginning to feel very real for me too......just six weeks to get rid of everything that's not going in that container!
