The van has taken a back seat recently as we focused on other important parts of the plan. The past few weeks have been a rush of tidying and sorting, as we got the house ready to go on the market, and it's now out there on the Internet for all to see. It's amazing how much junk two people can accumulate. We have decided nothing but the bare minimum is coming with us in the campervan or to Australia - because, really, if you haven't looked at something for over a year, how important can it be? I stumbled across the following website: http://guynameddave.com/100-thing-challenge/ which is all about living a more simple existence and cutting unnecessary consumption, by trying to limit your possessions to under 100. I actually would be amazed if we could fit 100 items each into the campervan, I think 100 between us seems plenty.
So the next few months we will be selling, giving away, recycling or (as a last resort) scrapping any unnecessary possessions so that we no longer need or want so we can focus on the things is life that are really important.
In the process of selling, recycling, trashing and giving away all my possessions to go back to the UK. Also sent 4 boxes of stuff over there. Guess if all your possessions can fit into 4 cardboard boxes, its not too bad, but still more than 100. Love your van! Enjoy the trip round the UK, good luck, Aunty Helenxx
