The last time I moved to a house that is about half the size of the one I left. I purged beforehand, but it wasn't enough. I'm still purging 7 months later. No matter how much you get rid of on the leaving end, there will be stuff on the new end that you'll look at and think "why did I keep that?" But, like you, I also found some treasures that made me smile.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the move.Darklighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426114127940101908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324785219448112334.post-91967261993591271032007-09-23T15:54:00.000-04:002007-09-23T15:54:00.000-04:00During our last move I started out a couple of wee...During our last move I started out a couple of weeks in advance, sorting through books and starting to box things up, keeping very organized. As the impending date moved closer and closer I started panicking and throwing things in boxes. We were still packing until 5 minutes before we left our house for the last time. It's definately something that makes you think that being a packrat might have some disadvantages. I swore that I wouldn't move again unless our house burned down and I didn't have any possessions to move. Good luck!Lythrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200781056851058805noreply@blogger.com
