More items gone

I'm starting to feel like I've forgotten something major, because things are going very well indeed.

I've contacted most of the companies I have direct debits with to inform them that I'm moving; there are a couple that can't cope with things too far in advance, so I've made a note to call them back later (the TV Licensing people, for example, can only deal with things two weeks in advance). I've also arranged insurance for me, and as a landlord.

I think I'm down to about a half dozen things left to do; but I'm still left with a few bits that need getting rid of; basically a vast amount of books and the car (plus a couple of old games consoles). I've got a few people coming round to grab what they want from the bookshelves, and after that, it'll be Freecycle, I think.

And tomorrow is my farewell party (yes, it's three weeks before I actually go, but really, just try to get on people's schedules....); my current nightmare is that I'll be sat in a room full of forty or so people, and no one's saying anything.

And as to moving... I've had a good look, and found about three dozen books that I want to take with me. That's a lot less than I was expecting, really - there's a few more I might want, but most of them I've not read for years. And apparently they have these things called Libraries in Canada, in case I get a hankering for a re-read.
