Indeed. The Isle of Man is lovely, will you be allowed to work there? I can't remember the rules about self employment, now.
I would look at it the other way - what do you really, really want to keep? Look at a space (like a cupboard) and decide what's used, loved and beautiful. Get rid of everything else. You have loads of time, so for items you are not sure of (which will be lots) you can box them up with a list (on the inside of the box) and anything you specifically miss a friend or relative can retrieve it for you. It's important not to go in the boxes yourself, as you will retrieve things that you hadn't really missed but forgotten all about. After a year, let them go to new homes unopened. I am a real 'get rid of it' person and in all the years I have been chucking out, I've only regretted it once, when I charity shopped a jersey dress which would have been a perfect post-birth wear. I managed! Imagine the sort of house you'll have and furnish it in your mind - everything needs to fit in that furniture, so start pretending that's all you have. It won't be perfect, but it's as good as any way to start. Good luck!
We are living in the caravan at the moment (just for the summer holidays) and I'm missing very little. All my books have been in storage for the last year, too. I do miss some, but not actually that many. I'll be weeding them severely when they come out! |
