I honestly did not realise just how much crap we had till i have had to pack it. My god I hve already done 3 full car loads to the charity bins and heaps more to go. All this is to save on trips up and down freeway but in general its all stuff i have carted around for years in the hope that Maybe "one day" i may need it or use it:yes: I am actually feeling rather cleansed from it all. Good Feng Shui(sp??) to have no clutter:)

That's great Kimba. We did a huge cleanse when we moved out of our house. We had it knocked down and re-built.
Then we had another huge cleanse when we moved back in - we still had loads of stuff that we couldn't part with .... or so we thought!

It fells good once you de-clutter doesnt it! I have been moving around from room to room doing that.
The garage is one im not looking forward to! Half our stuff is stored down there. Everything from clothes to kichenware to toiletries that have not been seen since moving our stuff in there.

i can't wait to clean everything out too! :hehe: little by little is what i'm trying to do and even to find the time it's still so hard! i feel like i won't get a chance until we really do move and then i have no choice but to do it right then and there. :)

we just had a curb side pick up and we got rid of soo much. it was awesome. I will be cleaning out more and more through out the year as we are building our very first home and I don't want to take all the old crappy stuff wtih us.
it also makes you feel so clean and comfy when all the clutter and junk is gone.

Hubby just told me that when I die he's going to be so happy to burn all my stuff! Funny thing though, I didn't care about the die comment (is he planning something?) but that he cared so little about my stuff! LMAO

I sell it on eBay every so often - but I like my crap! It's mainly books and sentimental stuff that he's whinging about - just carted the study downstairs and it's all my stuff :) Di, his stuff is in the garage and shed so it doesn't count of course... he's missing all the stuff from the farm I think :)
