List of items to do with moving house

boxes
worry
dust
lost items found
items lost
cups of tea
money concerns
nostalgia for old house
regret at leaving
excitement about new house
breakages
lifting
smell of cardboard
relief that it's over
learn to love your boxes
one box a week
chaos
irregular meal times
worries about parking
stress
newspaper and bubblewrap
newsprint
lorry's engine running
trip to the dump
Champagne
discovering lovely things I'd forgotten I owned
fear of theft
a fresh start
change of address notes
new things
logistics
ditching
unwanted
dead tired
break from routine
wondering if the day will ever end
sound of cardboard tearing
tape and the smell of tape
sound of ripping tape
things put together that are not usually together
