ljplicease | It's Beginning

I officially began moving to Sydney today. I packed two small boxes and threw out a video tape TV recording of Return of the Jedi I made in the 80s, which is not of much value to me anymore. Disposing of that which you do not need is always part of moving. I posted the boxes to Salt Lake City. I realize that isn't Sydney, but some of my things are going to end up living in Utah since my mum has tones of space there. I need to figure out what I taking with me, what I am sending to Utah, what I am selling, what I am giving away and finally what I am just going to trash. Big items include:

Lots of books. Those that I do not take away with me I will be giving away
Furnature
- Sofa, loveseat and coffee table, in good condition, less than two years old
- Sofa bed, I will give this to the Salvos if they take it.
- Dining room table 6 chairs, all well cared for, less than two years old
- Three book cases
  - two full sized, one half sized
  - I will probably donate two of these to the Salvos, the other one I will like to sell or keep
- Media center - very old and worn will either give away or throw out
- Queen sized bed, including mattress, sheets, etc. Very good condition, very comfortable. I will be sorry to see it go.
- Chest of drawers and matching nightstand
- Desks
  - Writing desk (small) - my iMac (Ripple sits here and plays music during parties)
