I've got a month to get the house sorted before we move on to pastures new, and less paid work than usual, so I really want to give this another try. As it happens it appears I've done quite a bit of this list already. :A

Not done much actual flying BUT did go to the chazzer having glanced at the Kon Mari thread and developed hoarder's guilt as a result so have flung stuff their way I was keeping for no good reason - a pair of curtains has freed up drawer space for DD's Uni bedding; and a few items I took to the tabletop sale. Forgot the ankle boots which make me walk oddly and give me backache, so they will go next time - there's bound to be more. Have to stand in chazzer now while they empty the bag (as am using my shopping bags). Have also thrown a half-finished baby cardi I am not sure I had enough wool to complete and goodness knows for whom it was intended - chances are the 'baby' is at school by now :rotfl:
I am in the mood for streamlining so a lot more stuff will be flung or relocated over the next month (I hope).Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
