I moved house 3 times and was transporting boxes of random crap each time that I didn't need/want/use and that had stayed in their boxes between each move! It was before I moved here I went through it and chucked a lot of it. I can honetly say I have not missed it, but I have enjoyed the extra space.

Get some good music on and do it woman!
