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.
