I have already moved in to my new flat but it seems that the stress isn't over yet. It has been 5 days since I came here. I thought, packing to move out was the worst but I don't think so now. There would always be these little things that have to be sorted out. I realized though that we always tend to buy things we never really needed. They usually end up in the trash bin during the panic time of packing.
The more I take a look at my stuff, the more confused I become if they are actually essential or not. It would have been easier if I were in my country so I could just open a garage sale for a day or two and would invite friends and acquaintances to just come over and would take a look. I already did this before when we had to empty our house to paint the walls. Now, I could not just find an easy way to give them up coz it would still cost if I would give them away to charity. It is strange that I have to pay them to take my things away. So they are now going to just be thrown away just like that. What a pity...

I have moved many times and each time I had to spend a lot time on packing, unpacking, painting the walls etc. Somehow those things just seem to take much longer than I expect when I start. A year and a half ago I moved from a village in the countryside to the island where I live now. When we packed our things we found a lot of things that we didn't need anymore and we decided to have to a garage sale. The garage sale was a success and we managed to sell a lot of things that we didn't want to keep. The rest of the things we gave away to a second hand shop that sell people's old things and donate the money to charity.

yeah moving out is really tiring and is really something that we all kbow can be stress ful too. It never stopd or is finished in a day or two not even a wek or a month... Hehe when we moved to a new place we were like crazy trying to unload and unpack all the things we packed or boxe. Hay it went on forthe next couple of months.
