Diana, I know exactly what you mean, moving is pure hell in terms of what to get rid of and what to keep. I thought I had been really drastic getting rid of items in the local auction or charity shops when I moved from my bungalow back to Dover
I know I have some boxes of 'collectables' that have never been unpacked and I suspect they never will. I have pub mirrors which we were going to put them up the dark stairs to reflect the light, up in the loft.
All the trouble will be worth it when you move into your new home, the only problem then will be the unpacking.
Paul, maybe you should start sorting that paperwork now, a little at a time
