Moving day looms large.
Preparation going badly.
Moving 400 yards from a 2 bed cottage to a erm, 3 bed cottage with loads more space (bigger kitchen, lounge, bedrooms garden etc) so it should be a piece of piss.

As she will read this shortly, would some kind individual please advise my other half that we don't need:

3 pieces of fish from the bowels of the freezer, possibly those used by Jesus
A coat that doesn't fit and hasn't been worn for 8 years
The old stereo from the shed (no idea if it works even)
A log basket that's not big enough to hold a log even if the sides weren't caved in
A large teddy bear that hardly fits down the stairs due to the bloody scale of it
Various pieces of cutlery unused for decades (no dear, they won't be 'useful, you never know')
A chair that has been in the garden since I have been here (3years)

I'm refusing to get stressed by the move- it won't help, but having a trash gathering mental stress machine hampering me is beggining to tire me.

I will add that there is a pub some 300 yards away, could someone perhaps reinforce what I already know

Many thanks

Tell her she can keep them if you do this, while she moves everything by hand on her own.
