I hear ya, Flutelady! We've been here 4 years, we KNEW we would be leaving so we tried not to acumulate too much stuff....and I can't believe how much stuff needs to be shifted. Absolutely shocked. When did I buy all this? I don't remember carrying it all home! I'm becoming convinced that "stuff" breeds with "other stuff" to beget "more stuff" when I'm not looking...much like dustbunnies.

The next installment in our personal adventure: it may not be the smartest thing we've ever done...but we sold the car with three weeks to go. But if we were going to keep it...we'd have had to spend hundreds of pounds renewing it's tax and stuff.

At least we had it long enough to take half a ton of books to the charity shop.

Now everything I own has to be carried to the postoffice, when I can't beg rides from my friends....bonfire in the front yard is sounding better all the time.
