I'm downsizing too, amazing how much tat I have accumulated. I have got rid of sundry small furniture, 2 out of 4 beds (1 still to go) and a stack of oddments. I'm just keeping the best stuff, so I suppose that the average quality could be said to be rising.

Yesterday I dumped the leftover wallpaper from the flat I decorated in 1980 (or was it '79?) which was 4 house-moves ago. The books have had a good weeding-out, but how come I still have about 80 assorted drinking glasses when I seldom entertain? The tools and cutlery seem to have been breeding as well.

I tell you, moving the contents of a two bedroom house & garage into a one bedroom flat is harder than it sounds, but I'm sure I will benefit long term.

Anyone need a free wheelbarrow, microwave, or a single bedstead (W.Yorkshire, UK)? PM me if interested.
