Moving, rates for stress up there with divorce. From my experiences of it, it can come very close to causing that.

Have fun moving. Eagerly awaiting pollytrack with the last essential and newspolls.

Yes its true.

I cant put my finger on it but I remember someone doing standup about moving, finding all of this stuff you never knew you had, thought you threw out etc, then went on to say that it should be made a criminal penalty. “you know you pull a gun out and shoot three people, instead of going to jail, they should make you move house”.

My housemate neatly solved that problem for me a few weeks ago, by burning our house down.

Seriously.

Why is it when you move you discover boxes from the last move (in my case 13 years ago) that have never been opened? If the stuff is so important why haven’t you looked at it in 13 years I ask? My solution throw it out. Solution of all the bloody bower birds I live with, retrieve it from the lane and take it to the new nest. One day it will all fall on us from the ceiling where it is stored and we will be buried in memories.
Is this the way I want to go?
Do I have a choice?

Moving is hell – pure hell. I’m still reeling from the horror of my last move 2yrs ago. So Mr P, you have my sympathies. You can even have a few more days off to recover (I suggest large volumes of quality alcohol to help with after-effects) but then it’s back to work here.. ok

I think it’s because you don’t realise how much space is in your living quarters. Maybe they should advertise house sizes in terms of boxes rather than m squared? There’s also that wonderful Philip K Dick concept of “kipple”, random junk quietly multiplying when people aren’t around. Every time we move there just seems to be more of the damn stuff!

We moved a month ago. I feel your pain. And was with competent removalsists. There must be some law of stuff-ownership that says you will own as much stuff as can clutter the amount of spce you have available. Moving to bigger premises is only a bandaid solution because you will inevitably fill up the extra space with crap you don’t really need.
