The practicalities of separation. When I moved into my house share when I was 19 or 20 years old I took a car full of stuff with me - there was already a bed, I took clothes, records, HiFi and a few bits. When I moved into my first house I took a small box van of stuff and when we moved here it was a large removals van. You accumulate stuff and yet I was quite able to live with the car full and van full of stuff originally :-)
In that time I've built a library of books, DVDs, CDs (selling them all now), Vinyl records (selling them too). Desks, chairs, office equipment, exercise machines, a host of coffee machines, mixers, juicers and other kitchenalia and a set of tools and garden implements too. It is just amazing how much clutter you accumulate over time.
I was thinking about it last night and wondering what I actually need to take with me. It's interesting as I need my office stuff and clothes of course. I've a put-me-up bed that will last for a short while but will need to get myself a bed. There's loads of stuff that I really don't need to take with me as I'm moving temporarily and when we finally come around to selling this place then it can move to wherever I'm going then.
I'm not worried about it but just amazed at how much clutter I have built up over the years. I might actually use the car more as well once I've moved - the poor thing just sits out on the drive at the moment as I tend to walk to most places these days. Ho Hum.
