No wonder you can't sleep! That is...Hi Catherine. No wonder you can't sleep! That is a lot of stress. Moving is stressful even under the best of circumstances, but this is ridiculous. Please feel free to rant and rave all you want. I have found that when I actually verbalize the problem it usually helps. It somehow seems to take on less power over me than when it is just going around and around in my head. You should go and treat yourself to a massage or something.<BR/>In answer to your question, a consignment shop is where you can take your items to sell. Usually the shop gets one third and you get two thirds of the price. People will take things to a consignment shop rather than just giving them to charity. Sometimes the shop raises money for a charity, such as a hospital, but often they are just a private business. Where we lived before I used to go to yard sales on Saturday and then if I found some good bargains but I had no use for them I would take them to sell at the consignment shop. I volunteered in one for a while, helping to price the items. It was a lot of fun.<BR/>So Catherine don't lose hope. You're almost at the finish line!
