How on earth do I have so much stuff? Seriously, five boxes of CDs? I don’t even listen to the bloody things anymore, they’ve all been transferred onto the laptop and my iPod. And eighteen wine glasses? I don’t even have eighteen friends! I should’ve taken some of this stuff to the charity shop when I was packing up rather than moving it all here. And I definitely should have made a point of choosing smaller boxes. These weigh a ton.
