Last night I went through ALL my clothes to sort them into three piles - keep, bin, charity.
It took longer than I thought, because I have more clothes than I thought. It was a good process, because I found some stuff I forgot I had, which made me think "Oh, cool, I remember that t-shirt" and stuff like that. (My Mighty Boosh t-shirt for example). Some of the stuff was pretty ropey, which made me wonder why I ever wore it in the first place. Once I had finished, I had a large pile ready for the charity shop, a smaller pile in the bin, and a much neater, tidier, ordered wardrobe.
Although the whole moving process is a massive pain in the arse, the whole 'clear out' process is actually good. I know that once we get to the kitchen, for example, it's going to be an excellent excuse to get rid of all the shite in the back of the cupboards that we haven't looked at since we moved into the house over eight years ago. Same for under the stairs, loft etc.
I also still have to tackle spider central - or the garage as it's also known...
Jebus - this place is like my idea of hell. Although I park the car in there fairly regularly, there is all sorts of crap that I've stored in there that has now created LOTS of little nooks and crannies and dark hidey holes where spiders the size of my head could hide. More than once, as I've gone in & out of the garage, I've glimpsed those horrible scuttling little movements out of the corner of my eye that means something with eight legs is looking to take a chunk outta my leg. And now I have to go in there and purposely disturb all the stuff in there. I'm scared.

I recommend long sleeves tucked into leather gloves for THAT particular venture~
Why don't you leave the junk in the garage!
say to the new owners if you want it you can have it....
Good luck with it all....
Firsty congrats on the move mate, hope it all goes well up north!
Having alot of experience with creepy crawlies, the threat of seeing one or one scuttling up your arm is much more of a problem than their actual presence.
If you have any time, pick up a bug bomb and set it off. It will give you some piece of mind later on and you can focus on the mammoth pile of junk/heirlooms :/
Just remember to leave the car outside for that night!
Bug Bomb? I know what they are, but can we get them here in Health & Safety mad UK?
oh i didnt consider that, have a dig around at the mega sainburies in Sth Ruislip. if anyone has it, they will
:P
So I know you like spiders as much as I do, but this is kinda fun ....
