Yeah, I know the feeling. We're doing pretty much the same thing. We just got our book collection downsized, and the rest of it packed away. Ari's life is almost completely packed away or gotten rid of. The house is ashambles since there's not so much furniture to collect junk, and there are boxes everywhere. And we're not even gonna have to move 'til summertime. I can't even imagine needing to move by April.

The books have almost all been done, but now we're one to boxes that have been packed for the last two moves. Moving has to be done before April or after September because it's too much of a shock other wise (Tasmanian winters drop quite a bit below freezing point.) and it'd be unfair to my cat - he's a half siamese shorthair. and we wouldn't have a clue as to how to survive, so spring/early summer is a safe bet (Given that their summers are like our early springs.) but really it's just about going through everything and getting rid of that which we need to keep just for the move.

All that is me, that isn't clothes, is now officially in boxes. It's an odd feeling. Time to put the house back together.

I couldn't handle that. I need my books and all the other pretty, nice things that I normally have spread everywhere.
Mind you, again, we're still trying to sort stuff that my mum's had boxes for years - some dating back to 1985 - the year BEFORE I was born... I'm not too fussed about packing everything - that can happen in the month leading up to the move.
How can you guys handle having all your personal belongings packed away? I can go a week without all my books and candles, incense, photos, ect, but after that I start to get a bit put out.
But back to the point, I can't spend another week moving house again. It's too expensive for a start. And all that useless stuff that we're just moving and not using... it's madness!
the thing I miss most when I'm moving house is the kitchen appliances - I can't do my usual cooking stuff.

It's not that bad. Most of my stuff I don't use anyway it seems. I junked a lot of it. The rest is decorative and just adorned walls and stuff.

No, I could handle that - Most of our pictures and statuettes are boxed up still anyway. It's just things like my favourite DVDs and Books, sewing projects, ect, that I need availible to me.

They sound really yummy! Go post the recipe in the scullery so we all can make them and compare results!
As for me at the moment, currently, I'm surviving a particularly nasty and hard to shake bout of gastro. This is day six with it. Oh, and I signed up for uni, and the subject i'm doing this semester is Icelandic Sagas (really interesting, but very hard to find). And mum gave me about seven bags full of wool so I can finally get around to finishing that bed throw that i'm crocheting.

Right now, I'm trying to survive uni (admittedly, i'm doing one subject, not four) as well as full time caring for mum and part time for Matt. And i'm trying to sort the houses out and not kill mum when she pitches a fit about us throwing out 20 year old newpapers.

I knit a swiffer cover the other day. I still need to sew of the sides so it'll hug the swiffer, though. I am such a procrastinator. *sigh* A second swiffer cover is in my future...then both will be gifted to two of my work friends.

AIT Completed, PCS (moving) completed, unpacking pretty much completed. Frugal super powers! I made shelves from cardboard!  Full bookshelf in its glory.  There's a closeup of a shelf and its support.  Two shelves.  The cardboard sagged in the middle, so I made a cardboard pylon for the middle of each shelf. Bridges do it. |

So now that I am settled in I am thinking of running another talkathon. So first off, who thinks they could attend?
Another thing, what can we do to improve on the last one? The basic failure of the last one was that almost no one attended.
