Ug.

I emptied my wardrobe yesterday - some into a pile for work, infest and friday flock, most into a large cardboard box (easily filled - oops) and 3 whole items into the bin. I still have a how washing basket full of clothes that'll need sorting into these 3 piles and all the stuff in my chest of drawers. damn I have a lot of clothes - mostly crap and/or pvc :P

hadn't been looking forward to this as highly I'm allergic to dust and my face actually puffed up, my eyes were streaming and I sneezed so much and so hard that I've pulled muscles in my left shoulder.

moving house is not fun :( can you hire people to come in and riffle through your stuff and decide what you need to keep and pack it otherwise throw it away?

EDIT: in the marvellous tradition of all things annoying I've realised I have a hen to at the races next weekend and will therefore need presentable clothes for that. in a double whammy the clothes I thought most appropriate are at the bottom of the packing carton. arse.

You can hire me ;-p I've been helping Aidan decide for the last 4 years or so what to pack and what to chuck out. Four runs to the local dump with a full estate car this weekend alone.

You have my sympathy as we're going through the same thing. I have however made a fortune on eBay as I had the luxury of time which you unfortunately don't. I do feel as though I've got rid of a lot of stuff that was just hanging about since the dawn of time and I feel a lot better for it.

Good luck!

When are you *actually* out?

eBay for clothes should be relatively easy, no major packing hassles. And eBay does work, I used to sell holidays on it.

I think the trick is to list a batch of stuff all at once, for the same length of auction. That way, they all end on the same day, and you can then take all the packages to the Post Office and send them off all at once, so fewer trips to the PO to make.

Hey. When i moved intot his house i was so stressed i was having panic attacks. My Dad suggested that i find out how much Pickfords would charge for packing up my stuff (they were doing the move for me). It only cost an extra £150 ( i know thats still a lot but id much rather pay someone to package it all up than have the stress of doing it myself!). Im not sure whether you are using a moving company but if you are then its a service they will provide. If not then im sure there must be someone who does this (moving companies may do it even if they arent moving you??).

Oh and a good website to help you out...
