Two small ones containing figurines, candles etc: I’ll unpack these very soon (tonight if I have time), display the few I have space for, throw out any I no longer want and re-pack anything I still want to keep.

One small one containing old purses, scarves etc: most of this can probably be thrown out.

One medium one containing an assortment of random stuff: I’ll unpack this tonight for definite, find homes for anything I need to keep, and throw the rest out.

Two large-ish ones containing magazines, some books and assorted paperwork: these will have to wait until I have time to go through them properly, I think. The books will be easy once I’ve made some space on my bookshelves; the magazines are mostly health and science ones that I don’t want to throw out, but I’ll probably find I’m not referring to them often enough to justify the space they take up. When I need information I usually go to the internet first anyway, rather than trawling through a pile of back issues. At some point I may take the time to go through them and tear out any articles I really want to keep, and discard the rest.

Not too much further to go!
