I'm intending to take as little as I can - the furniture here is mainly Ikea stuff, and I'm not especially attached to any of it. So I'm pretty sure that the cost of replacing it in Canada will be cheaper than sending it abroad.
I've just been visited by a rep from a removal company, and I'll be getting a quote through in the next few days. It's quite scary, looking at the amount of stuff I've accumulated, and realising just how little of it I actually need, and how little I'll miss most of it. I've got quite a lot of books - I've not counted, but it'll be well over a thousand - and I want to rehome as many as I can. At the very least, there are a number of charity shops on the local high street who I could swamp with extra stock; but I'm hoping various friends will be interested in taking a few.
It was quite scary to stand in the back bedroom and realise that all I really want to take with me are some of the books; the lego; and the portable harddrive, once I've done a backup from the PC. We didn't even bother looking in the cellar ("Yeah, there's more books down there" - I think it's around 10 crates)
So now all I need is somewhere to send them.
