Did something quite appropriate yesterday. I broke down all my Lego that was still assembled and got it away in their storage boxes I have. It took me most of the day and made quite a nice pile in the end. I think I took apart roughly 10,000 pieces of Lego and even then I didn't do the over 4,000 pieces in the Lego Tower Bridge I have, that simply got roughly dismantled in to its own box. While I was doing this my wife was watching episodes of Hoarders which seemed really appropriate for the amount of Lego I have accumulated. Nowhere near enough to overwhelm our house like these people with their random rubbish they have strewn about but it does make you go wow that is a lot of stuff.
With the amount of stuff we have thrown out over the last couple of weeks we should be in a good state to move. All sorts of things we simply don't need anymore, have no use for or simply don't want have gone in the rubbish. Then there was the car full of stuff that was donated to charity and the couple of dozen empty paint tins that were taken to hazardous waste disposal over the weekend. I think we are almost there, we just now are looking at getting rid of the patio furniture since we don't enjoy it much and would rather get something more like what we would use after we have moved.
It just feels so close now to actually moving. We've passed all the hurdles with selling our house, appraisals and inspections etc. The buyer now just needs to make sure they get their loan and we are done other than signing the final paper work. This week should see any issues with the house we are buying found and resolved then that is sorted. Then just comes the minor point of actually physically moving. Not a trivial step but arguably the most important since it will result in us living somewhere else. Not long now, just under 5 weeks until we are there. Gulp.
