My husband is currently on the internet buying new tea tins because he ordered a bunch of loose tea and I was not able to instantly recall where our old tins might be in the new house we moved to 3 months ago. He accused me of throwing them away and told me to never throw his stuff away again without talking about it to him in advance (for the record, I sometimes throw away things I should not).
I recall purging items in our old house to get it ready for the market and seeing 3-5 tea tins that were empty and had been for about 1-2 years, so I think I might have tossed them.
Sometimes purging things comes back to bite you in the butt. That's the case for me tonight, anyway.
IF they were that important they would not have been empty for that long.
IF things are so important to him then HE should be the one to tend to and pack them all.

whoops! At least it was just tea tins.
But let me guess (and not actually knowing your husband of course!), when you do try to talk to him about something like whether you need to pack the old tea tins that haven't been used in a couple of years, does he ask you why you are bothering him with something like that?
OP - it's not JUST a moving thing, I decided to really start to get "organized" and stop letting things pile up, start putting things in places where "they belong", etc. - I still have a hard time finding those things because "I remember where they were, of course that was a pile, wrong place, whatever" - maybe we just aren't as organized as some? (or have too much STUFF?) LOL

What!!!! Are you guys at our house listening to our conversations?
I knew where everything was in the last place, and the place before that. Where's my tape? It's supposed to be in the drawer with the pens, markers, stapler, scissors and other doohickeys.
No, I don't have this problem for 10 months. Wow. I can get acclimated to where my stuff is pretty quickly. Even in my old age. I just make sure not to move them once I've established a place for them.
