I have given away about 1/3 of a house, to the hospice shop, family, neighbours and to ever grateful workers at the tip. It has taken me several years, starting when husband died. I was one of the ones who needed to get on and do it in a hurry, the initial clearing
The pace slowed but load after load went to the hospice shop and I saw the gift aid receipts with a smile on my face, did something good with it all. Reserved a new build, 7 months ago so the pace increased. My house did not sell for 6 months, so I slowed down because my mind did not accept that I would actually move. Christmas holiday was lonely so I added more crafting stash and more since.
It hit me last night, when I finished yet another crafted item. I am moving, really am moving. All that downsizing helped but my crafting things spread and I added a lot to my food stores, I blame march 29th for that, media hype and potential winter snowing in, isolated village here
I re-started this morning, packed 2 boxes. I still feel in limbo but this is going to happen. Oh yes, the reason for the thread, I am not getting packers in, would need to sort at that end, might as well sort now but I can still see that I will have to let things go when I am there. No box is too heavy for me btw and it is kind of therapeutic
How did you tackle packing if you did it on your own? Are you in process of packing or downsizing for a future move?
