Hi, Linda, welcome back!
I would have missed you, if I had been here, but I've been moving too! No bunnies and squirrels in the back yard, unfortunately, just waist-high weeds. We have some work to do.
Last time we moved (5 years ago), we had lived in the same house for almost 10 years. We literally got rid of two tons of stuff--I mean we had a dumpster brought to the house and filled it twice! But we still have too much junk, in spite of making an effort to clear it out over the past five years.
My husband collects vinyl records (actually, the music that's on them--he's not picky about the medium) and the count is now something over 5000 of them. 70 medium sized moving boxes. Knowing that we'll be moving again in a year has finally given him the incentive to clear out at least the ones he's replaced with CDs. Maybe 10%. And I'm going to give up ever being a size 8 again and get rid of all those clothes. If I make it, I'll buy new!
One thing that helped me immensely, though it cluttered my email account and I had to stop, was subscribing to flylady.com. Flylady's methods helped me de-clutter everything but the basement in easy stages over about two months. The basement was impossible because it was mostly my husband's stuff, but now he's the one paying the price as he's doing the moving, lol.
Well, back to working my way through 4 days' worth of Adland messages. I'll think of you as I unpack, lol.
Cheri
