Sorting Childhood Photos - Not an Easy Task!

I have had a cupboard full of partially-filled scrapbooks, poorly organised photos and many memory miscellanies from when both children were very small. I decided that this half term I would sort out my personal photos from before the children were born as this would hopefully fit in the pictured 44-paged album I recently procured.

After a couple of days of doing it in fits and starts I haven’t done NOTHING but nowhere near what I thought I might. It turns out it actually more upsetting than I gave it credit for. In order to date many of the photos, I had to start to try and add years and rough months to all the various places I have lived (even if temporarily) throughout my life thus far and it’s really not a happy process. I had previously written out all the places and found there were over forty.
