Then you pack your House...

Far out. Moving o/s 2 years is just a little different to picking up all your assorted crap and moving it to another repository for that aforementioned crap! Viva la Nomad, but it's not going to save me here...

There are generally 3 piles:
1. Brotherhood/Chuck-out pile (large)
2. Give away to friends/family/others pile (medium)
3. Store for when you get back pile (small)

There's also a really, really small pile of stuff you think you might take with you (eg. guitar).

Then there's H&C insurance, phone/broadband, couches, pantries, crockery, bookshelves (thannnnkyou Liesl), wall pictures, books, books, books, storage... plus the whole 'have you found someone to take my place' stuff - and when would they like to move in.

Luckily, I have a wonderful girl-friend and family who kinda smile as I ring them/prattle about slowly doing this stuff, and who'll put me up a bit in-between being here in Melb. & leaving (oct 9th at this stage).

Advice -: give yourself plennnnnty of time to organise stuff!

Ok... back to the pack-pack-packing.
