Constitutionally incapable of mimimalism

We are still in the middle of throwing stuff out and deciding what to take with us to France. We are both raging horders and stupidly sentimental. I still had Annabelles baby ballet shoes and acceptance cards to our Wedding in 1976 ! This morning I threw away an appointment card to parents evening for Annabelle who is now 24 .... still I have to say it feels good to see all that paper disappearing into the shredder.

It's a fine line between transporting rubbish and missing useful / beautiful stuff.

I have a weird ability to remember where and when I bought everything and how much it cost. I also remember who bought us every present when and why and even when I dont like the item any more I feel unkind to sling a kindly given gift.

The real dilemma is I like a tidy home... ppppfffftttt !

We are going to Philadelphia on Tuesday where Pete is competing in the World Cup of Barbershop singing. This will be a fantastic event and we will have a ball but we can't really concentrate on it as we are so wrapped up in packing and moving to PO.... High qulity problem I guess.
