Which ones, Claire? That's incredible. See, I thought the same thing about the bedding but the Canadian is saying no to that one. I think he's thinking it's the perfect chance for him to be rid of my beautiful 'Josephine Duck Egg Blue' Laura Ashley doona haha Oh my goodness, 6 countries! Which ones, Claire?

I didn't realize a person could accumulate so much STUFF, until I started sifting through everything. Moving everything across a big ocean was stressful! Good luck on your move and hopefully you can find some time for yourself in between all of it :) I moved from Hawaii to LA about a year ago and it was so completely stressful and emotional.

I may be doing a trans continental move within the next few years as well, and dread having to do the big heave-ho of my stuff. I hope you have a wonderful time in our big, friendly country!
