I collect winter underwear, in moderation. One pair for each day of the week, not each day of winter. I used to have a lot of shoes. But my feet grew a size when I was pregnant with the boys. After that, the shoes were not suitable for taking care of kids. But when my daughter came along, I enjoyed buying her really pretty shoes of all different colors. My sons were disgusted because they couldn't fathom why girls had so many shoes. I especially loved the European ones, which I purchased brand new on eBay for reasonable prices. She loved Doc Martins, so I got her a pair of yellow boots with fish drawn all over them. I was living my love of shoes again, through my daughter's "needs". Her teachers said she was the best dressed girl in school. She was, but only because I also like European clothes that are colorful and beautifully designed. Luckily, my daughter liked all of this attention to her wardrobe.

I collect books, but they are stored by my Calibre ebook management program, so they don't take up physical space. I had about 2,000 and my husband had 5,000 books. All those bookcases took up a lot of space in our home. Now I only have about 100 books, and they are at my husband's house. He probably has about 1,500 books. I converted him partway to using a Kindle.

I shop for gifts the way you do. It's fun!

"My sons were disgusted because they couldn't fathom why girls had so many shoes." They just don't get it! LOL At least you can indulge in shoe shopping, even if not for yourself. I loved shopping in Montreal back in 1968. They had some sharp clothes and shoes. I bought an orange and beige pair of sling back shoes. After a time, it became clear to me that sling backs and me don't get along. :p

I find that with the huge trend for fashionable and designer Trainers , Boys and young men have just as much footwear as women now
 
Even my pastor is on my case. Before the service today, he asked me about my roll-top desk (perhaps he saw it on one of the many places I advertised it). I though he might be interested in it for his study or office. He asked if it was heavy and I said, "Yes". Then he asked if it had to me moved on stairs. I said, "Yes". Then he said, "All that would have to come off the asking price. Nobody's going to want a big heavy desk they have to move unless you pay them to do it."

The tops come off rather easily.
Just a few screws underneath and it's off.
Then, it's one light piece.
And one heavy desk.

Down the stairs is not so difficult.
Two people sliding the desk on a stout piece of carpet makes the job doable.
Unless, there's a switchback somewhere.
Then it has to be stood on end.
And a reefer dolly comes into play.
 
@debodun, with what @Gary O' has said, this might be a job for your movers when they arrive. If your pastor (or someone else) wants it, they can pick it up outside on the day that you're planning to move.

I tried calling two thrift stores today to ask if they were interested in any home goods. Neither was interested. They said their shops are full now, no room for more.

This should tell you something. But I fear it won't. :confused:

Give me words of courage. Every time I reach for the phone to call a moving company, my hands start shaking and I get heart flutters.

This is one of the best things you've ever done for yourself!

You're not leaving mom and dad behind; you take them with you wherever you go.

If it's hearing the cost of the move, you can't take it with you remember?

Now you have a new pretty little house to play with.
