According to WikiAnswers.com Moving house is No.3 on the Top 10 most stressful things in life and here I am willingly taking part in the process again!!
Feel like only yesterday that I moved house, into what I thought was going to be the perfect house… LOL!!! I am starting wonder myself f I just find it hard to stay in one place or it s genuinely that I am looking for the right house.
Anyway, here I am again, packing our life away. This time it feels different, I have got this big urge to de-clutter. Maybe its because the kids are at school and playschool and I have a, more time and b, both kids are finally outgrowing things!
Millie was born in April 2004 and Joel in August 2006 and this will be the 6th time we have moved… And hopefully the last!! Up until now we have just boxed everything and relentlessly tried to sort it out in the new house. I will add, the later never happens and for the last 4 years I have been surrounded in a sea of crap!!
The crap is gradually being sorted, with half being unquestionably thrown away and the other half kept in a massive pile in my lounge to be sold at a ‘Boot Fair’ on the 1st November 2010. The pile is now a small mountain in my lounge and the more I look at it, the more I realise how sad I have been. Why do I have the desire to hord useless possessions that I don’t need!!
The new house gives me a feel good factor, not sure if it is actually bigger downstairs or not, but it sure is a better use of space with a large buggy friendly entrance; conservatory; utility room; a side gate to the garden and a couple of parking space… It certainly ticks all the boxes. Most importantly for me, it has a spare room upstairs with a small balcony. This room has Art Studio written all over it… Hooray!!! :D
