House is sold

And so the house sold .It was  very exciting but  yet so scary. We now had to find a house to buy that fitted all our needs in a short time . We had lucky been looking  for a couple of months and  have decided on a house that fits most of our needs but is a lot smaller and  no storage room  so decluttering  has had to start.
There has been several large items sold on eBay , 5-6 loads to local salvos store , similar loads to tip and metal recycling . We are up to 75 packed boxes  with only bedroom cupboards and  kitchen to go.
We have certainly collected a lot of crap in 23 years  but also a lot of memories.
We are looking forward to living in a newer house with a smaller backyard and  no gates to open
Hope the rest of the packing and moving go quickly  so we settle in well
