Good luck with the move, Starfire.

I have moved a fair few times since I moved up where I am, for university originally, six years ago. I have lost a few things, stupid little things, along the way, and have also accumulated a lot of junk; I have noticed this since moving into my own (rented) house after five years of living in shared accommodation as a student.

When my parents, who still live in London, moved two years ago, I had to take, or charity shop, most of my stuff I had left behind. I had to lug 8 stone (a full suitcase, a holdall, and two plastic bags) worth of rubbish from my old house (where I had previously lived for 21 years) up the road to the station, to King's Cross, then across the bridge to the right platform at Newark station (Nottinghamshire) BEFORE they installed the lift, to catch my connecting train, and then from Lincoln station (again BEFORE they installed a lift!!!!) to my old house. My mum had a hospital appointment that day and my dad went with her so he couldn't help me.

I ended up charity-shopping half the stuff I had brought with me anyway.
