update: moving out this weekend

I've taken today and tomorrow off work so that I can pack up my granny flat, as I'm moving in with my parents for the last couple of weeks. (Some of that time I'll be in Hobart/Strahan, hopefully).

My sister is moving in here after I move out, so It's not like I have to pack up all my kitchen gear, just the things that I want to store for when I get back...like my favourite mugs etc.

Admission: I am a hoarder of the ultimate kind.

You don't want to know how many mugs I actually owned before getting rid of them the other day! Reducing all my gear down to a few big plastic boxes has been a real cleansing experience. (ahem, not that I've finished yet...) I'm just not in the habit of throwing things out when I don't need them any more.
And so the collection gradually builds.

My sisters and my mum came along last weekend to sort through some of the things I was giving away and to my delight, they claimed quite a bit. Grumbling all the time that they'd get in trouble when they got home from their respective spouses...teehee!
Better your hoarder pile than mine ;P

Today, I fixed up my bank account, bought some decent headphones for my ipod (my trusty travel companion) bought more plastic boxes, packed and sorted. I'm tired, but got another day ahead of me.

I leave in just over 17 days.

I'm excited, but kinda nervous to travel there alone. I'm meeting up with friends/family when I get there, doing a trip to my uncles house (5 hrs on a train) and then a 7 day tour of England, Scotland and Wales...then back to London to look for a place to stay permanently and work.

Much to do before then, I dare say. this is my short list...
-clean the flat
-sell my car
-buy a digital camera
-finish my resume
-cancel my health insurance
-change my addresses
-notify relevant authorities (want to travel safe, you know!)
-SAY GOODBYE TO ALL MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS!!
