Still packing...

I only made two and a half boxes of garb in the end. I haven't been making as much recently, and I've gotten rid of a few of the earlier, more embarrassing attempts. Sadly I also had to throw out the red wool Flemish overgown, that anyone who's seen me cooking a feast in the last five years would recognise instantly. It had been massively chewed on by moths. I suppose I ought to be grateful that they only seem to have chowed down on that and not any of the other woollen items hanging in the same wardrobe, including the rather expensive woollen houppelande hanging beside it, but it still hurt. I also chucked a burgundy velveteen Tudor gown that was actually in better repair than I thought, but which I have never been able to get my arms into after having kids (who knew that having a baby gave you biceps?), and which was also missing a crucial component. We are trying to be ruthless after all.

So:
2-3 more boxes of board games
1 (large) box of Dr Who DVDs and figurines
1 (large) box of other figs
5 plastic tubs of books (we couldn't find any more book cartons)
2 large boxes of soft toys, games and books from Erin's room
3 large plastic tubs of lego
1 book carton of jewellery making supplies
4 garbage bags of clothes for Goodwill
2 skips worth of rubbish
2 carloads of old computers and TVs for the e-waste recycling

Now I am tired, hot, very sticky, and have a kink in my neck, so I am going to soak in a tepid bath for a while.

Today I made a start on the boys room, but tomorrow we will need to tackle it in earnest, including the horrors that lurk under Ashwyn's bed. Also the laundry.
