Stuff – Lots and lots of stuff

Posted by: Leila on: May 15, 2008

And there was me thinking that I’d be able to just throw all my belongings into a couple of holdalls and be off on the train. I think my first mistake was assuming that moving house by train (not that I have much choice) was a good idea. I can see it now, dragging cases and cases of books over the bridge and Leuchars at 7am on Wednesday. The second problem that is although I own a lot of books, clothes etc these are all quite ‘packable’ items and its easy to estimate how much space/weight they are going to take up. However, it seems that I had not taken into account all of the other crap I appear to own; a large ceramic duck, an assortment of plastic swords, many many hats, vases, mini herb gardens (!!), an A2 size folder with all my articles in, a blow up cactus (though at least thats collapsable)…. And I live in an UNfurnished house…

I never used to think I was a ‘hoarder’ but I am having great trouble parting with the more sentimental of my akward items.
