Moving On...

I am still a bit torn with how I feel about our move. I am still going to miss the squirrel, and our first home together, but I think excitement is beginning to overtake me now! Which is good, I think I am going to need something to carry me through what I know is going to be a tough job. You see, as you have probably worked out from reading my blog, I am a hoarder! I love things...I hate the idea of throwing out something that could be useful one day. I am really looking forward to a good clean start, and mean to keep everything decluttered and peaceful! We are at the stage now of trying to work out what to take, in what order, at what point we live here, at what point we live there. To get our organizing started, I have bought a big box for us to store 'household' paperwork in...our lettings agreement, utilities bills and so on. Then I have bought a smaller box file each for us to put in our own things, bank statements, payslips and so on. I have so many of those stored up! I think this will be a good time to have a cull and put them in order. I know I still have paperwork from my mobile phone before last! Looking around me I cannot imagine what a job it is going to be to sort through everything, pack it all up and move it, unpack it and order it! To help, I have of course bought a new notebook. I think I am going to start by listing room by room what needs doing. For example, in the bedroom is our wardrobe. I need to go through and be ruthless about which clothes I take, and which I give away. One job for this evening is going to be to go through our dvd collection and whittle that down a bit! It is the 11th today..19 sleeps and we get our new keys! Eeek!
