It's a bit heavy for that unfortunately. Can't do with any extra weight ion the lorry

Give the wedding dress to a charity for a young lady who cannot afford one.

The wedding dress could be made into another piece of clothing for Piper. Perhaps the wedding dress could be reused for each of the children maybe as cushion covers that will be used and treasured each day .

You could dye it a different colour. Changes the dress completely. 💃🏼👗💃🏼👗💃🏼👗🌻 14:17 14:39

Thought you were teasing with that scan pic 😅, bless Ric with his poem ❤.

When I sold up to go full time I decided my time was worth more than the money I might make at a car boot so a lot went to charity shops.

Awwww that poem is soo sweet I love it had tears in my eyes and the picture’s of u both growing up is soo nice bless u both proper adorable couple. Love u guys plz never change xxx

That hammer and chisel into the old phone was a risky idea. Lithium batteries are not to be messed with! Would have been far better to just source a charger for it and wipe it!

Great video, hope you manage to get rid of it all! Hope Romantic Ric has recovered from the embarrassment ... You could probably raffle the monopoly table if you can't reuse it yourself - you could sign it to double the value! I had 5 storage units once ... planned to move when there was a stamp duty holiday in 2021 - got everything packed up into storage units that were further and further away as availability got scarce ... then our house sale fell through, so we brought all back ... most boxes have been looked in and sorted since the ... No idea where we fitted it all before - I don't envy your task of slimming down from a 3 bed house, even though Tori is large compared to most 'vans', you still have to make hard choices ... minimalists suggest taking photos of things you treasure, but sometimes being able to hold it (stop giggling Kiera!) is far better than a photo!

Missing you Keira ❤ kisses to the rugrats from Nanna and Popsi xx

Keep the weddin dress . Piper might want to wear it some day We contacted a local charity that came with a large van and took it all . Even what you think is rubbish charties have many different uses even broken watches and jewrey and buttons its amazing and they will come to you if you have a lot of stuff .

Silloth car boot! If you ever go there on a weekday there's a breakfast van by the entrance run by two proper characters, Cath and Gerry from Derry!

Feels really surreal seeing carlisle 😳 loved there for 5 years only just moved back to ptown 2 years ago so feels really odd seeing it on your channel 🤣🤣 wish I knew I could of helped with tip runs x

It’s normal for buyers todo carboots I love going to them

Did the same thing when we packed up for our caravan sold some before and did a boot sale made abit but had to dump some and charity shop a lot because people their want it for nothing. Just emptied our storage unit to find it full and have to rid within a week and this time round only bothering with eBay and fbk and WhatsApp groups but it’s slow and draining. Hope you guys got it done your feel amazing and achieved once it’s done! It’s so freeing being able to start again with less

So inspiring! My wife and I have been talking about selling up and doing this for a while! How do you manage finances? Would love a video on that, and the reality of that

That Monopoly board is a great idea. Worth saving perhaps. I wonder how much of the rest you can bear to part with.

The umbilical cord is tiny and not going to add much weight to the van . Was it secure in a glass container? Thinking perhaps it could go in a picture frame with the pregnancy test and even a portion of your wedding dress. The wedding dress could be made into scarves for Piper and ties for the boys and a piece of the dress could be a lining for the family picture frame.

I say keep the wedding dress as I think you regret it if you let it go

I’ve still got the contents of my 4 bed in storage - I’ve got the fear as I’m going to be moving into a much smaller house soon. Like you, I didn’t have long to sort things so my boxes make no sense because I was rushing.

You will end up at the tip with a lot of it ,sorry to disapoint you guys ,plus take into account how much the storage is costing you? What ever you get wont go a long way to avert the cost of storage

Looked hard work, idea come to late- was it possible for you to take all personal items you wanted to keep , and then auction of the contents of the storage container as a lot , where people bid for it and had no idea what was inside it, only that its household furniture including white good from 3 bed house and some garden. What you have left, will the house clearance company's people take away- save a lot of aggravation ....

I bet they buy it then because they have the feeling they got it cheaper than the actual price.
