Yeah, my collection thread is somewhere in here, "The Re-introduction of Vee", and browse everything on the site, I'm sure you'll find sections/threads that you'll really enjoy  x

As negative as it sounds, "absolute nightmare" is a perfect summary for all the stress a move entails. From finding a new home, to clearing out the old, there are few life-changing events out there as relocating.
Still, with bad there also comes good. Never in a million years did I think I would part with pieces from my collection, which had just been growing and growing throughout the years. It was painful to let go, and I admit there are regrets. Nonetheless, selling, and even in some cases giving away, was quite liberating. It gave me a new perspective on my hobby with regard to what to purchase and what to not purchase. I still have a number of items I want to get rid of, and I'm sure I will eventually.
No matter the problem, one must always put a positive spin on it. Down-sizing brings about pros and cons, but for me, I get to prioritize on the subjects that truly define me.
I'll get to browsing around right now. Top on the list is finding your collection thread, so wish me luck!
