Moving house

One of the things I find stressful about moving is having to get rid of stuff. If we didn't have to change countries we could still be using our stuff for years to come. I was brought up to make things last as long as possible (my parent's car is more than 30 years old- true story!) so getting rid of things when they are still usable I find very stressful and wasteful.

Today I sold some of my baking stuff to another expat. She was excited to buy my rolling pin, measuring cups etc. So rather than feel my beloved foreign cooking things were going to waste, I was happy they were going to be used and appreciated!
