I have started the sorting out - honestly... |
Last time the down-sizing was such a nightmare; this time we only need to be a little more sensible in what we take and what we throw away (or give away). Of course there are the usual frustrations: a lack of internet connection (Sky, true to form, are making us wait for a month - a month!), worries about the removal men actually turning up on the day, and concerns whether our furniture will get through the doors and hallways (last time we took a bit o the wall off with one of the sofas). But all of this is pretty run-of-the-mill stuff to us now.
Only one thing makes my head spin - we have to get rid of most of our books. I am not giving up my hardbacks and will sleep on top of them if need be, but the paperbacks will have to go. I have yet to make the trip to the local charity shop (why do you think I'm writing this blog post - blogging is always a good distraction), but later today I do have to sort out the books that I have to say goodbye to. It's like killing your babies....
My babies. |
PS. There may be a little break in blogging - all depending on the good people at Sky, of course.

I went through the same thing myself. I see your box of CDs. I actually bought some CD cases that can fit 80 inside save loads of space. I got 4 for £16 which was quite good deal. I also had to get rid of my paperbacks I took two black bin bags down the local chairty shop they couldn't believe it. The place I live in now has virtually no storage space which is frustrating.
Ouch - saying goodbye to books really hurts. Speaking of which, thanks for the great reviews in your earlier post, which has prompted some orders from Amazon for my already overflowing bookshelves. I wish you best of luck with the move, and may Sky surprise you with unprecedented efficiency!
I too took the books to a charity shop and they were delighted with (I lost count how many) boxes of books. I cried...
Karen, I doubt Sky will be any different, but then we're used to t, eh?
Glad you liked my reviews - I'm planning to do many more of those in the coming year.
