I haven't forgotten the nightmare of moving house. I just didn't know what to do with all our accumulations. I swore off ever amassing things again, and for the most part I have kept to that.

I often have a peak in Op shops, but don't buy much, except for books, no kindle for me! but on this occasion I did buy a beautiful shirt. It looked like it had never been worn, and the colours were perfect for me. I will trade that with a bag of clothes ready for donation. I no longer deal with excess.
