Rule #1 minimalism is the new rock and roll

It's been a few months since Mr.Magpix and I decided that we needed to formulate an escape plan.

As anyone who as ever moved house will know, it's always a point of profound amazement that two people can accumulate so much stuff.

1% Necessary Certificates and Paperwork (NCP)
1% Irreplaceable Items of Great Sentimental Importance (IIGSI)
6% Consumables And Such eg.food, crockery, shampoo (CAS)
8% Clothes Shoes and Accessories (CSA)
20% Electronics Books Media (EBM)
64% Utterly Useless 'do you remember when we did that thing and it was so funny/expensive/scary/tasty/far away' Junk (UUJ)

Obviously, the first rule of escaping is to travel light. so here's what we are doing to relieve ourselves of this great burden of stuff.
