I had my first day of being ‘between jobs’ today - I had my last day last Friday and I don’t start at the new one until 10th April. There’s plenty to be doing in the meantime though - the house looks like a bomb has hit it and we have the packers / shippers coming on Thursday. Sophie has a fever (she is probably just teething) so it means that one of us has to look after her all the time… productivity is low at the moment!
We are still going through our stuff and sorting it into 3 piles - stuff that is being shipped, stuff that is coming with us in our luggage and “other”. The last section is to get sold or given away - if not it goes in the bin. It’s a very cleansing process - just imagine going through all your drawers and cupboards and sorting everything into one of those categories. Yes - I really do mean everything!
When it comes to it, is there really that much stuff that you cannot live without?
I guess what is making it harder is that we won’t see the shipping container for 12-16 weeks… that is a long time to live without something, if the item is that critical you will have bought another one by then anyway.
