I've been thinking it's just a couple more boxes needed for about four boxes now, and the kitchen cupboards still aren't empty ๐Ÿ˜ญ

And once I finish the kitchen I still have a laundry cupboard, the bedroom and some shed/garden stuff to do. I think I underestimated how much physical effort this takes. When I was younger and fitter I could have got this done a lot quicker.

Oh yeah, I still have to do a final clean of the fridge and freezer too.

It's always more boxes than you think. I really was almost furious at myself the way I kept going and going and going when I moved out of my last place. How TF did I accumulate so much shit in just 4 years?! I ended up having to cull more than I thought, and it was all hurried and anxiety-inducing.

I have absolutely no idea how all that stuff possibly fitted in the shelves and cupboards, I am convinced everything must expand as it goes into the box.
