Today we've made a start on clearing the garage, and the first carload has gone to the tip! We also have a huge long list of things to sell/freecycle/give away but I'm not entirely sure I can be bothered to deal with ebay so will be mostly given away I suspect.
Feeling much better as that was a job I wasn't looking forward to, but it didn't take anywhere near as long as I expected, and now that it's done we can start packing other stuff up now and clearing the house out down to the minimum ready to put it on the market.
