16 days to go

Normally when you move you pack up lock stock and barrel and only have to deal with breakages and a bad service from an estate agent. But for the last few weeks we have been separating everything we have accumulated over the last four years. Our allowance of 33 kilos each means that I only have one change of clothes because of the handbags and shoes that my wife has prioritized. Apparently looking good is ok even if your husband smells more than normal. So here we are living at home which is very nearly empty apart from a few suitcases and a headache about where the rest of the things are going. My beloved record collection is the only thing apart from clothes which we have shipped off to Canada ahead of us and the rest is either sold or squashed in a case ready for the Sherpa (me) to lug them around the globe.
