What's the value of stuff ?

Been doing some admin today , the lovely wife has gone shopping with our daughter whos 28 by the way, we were young and in love and I must say we still are . Being my number 1 wife she has certain privileges that number 2 might not get ! These rights were set many years ago they inc the last word and the ability to send a cold chill down a mans spine. But with her heart of gold and unending forgiveness we muddle along.
Having moved stuff and sold stuff given away stuff and binned it i thought I knew a lot about stuff well the value of ours at least. Its that I now need to know its volume in cubic metres as well. That's right shippers , as we agreed we don't want to take everything trying to make a list of what we want is tough and prone to disappointment. Eventually we would like to buy a place with built in wardrobes so most of the bedroom stuff is to go as is the 4 seater settee and chairs just in case it's too big. The buyers are having the 3 piece in the sitting room so that's a help. Distilling your life down to cost per m3 is tough it makes you feel like leaving the lot and just going shopping , but the shops we've seen online look dire or too modern I'm sure there are more and better to be found.
So we have 19 m3 plus the car to carry in to the future , not so much traveling like a Pharoh into the next life more like the folk who went west in the Californian gold rush with a covered wagon and a lust for something better.
STOP 
it would appear that 3 weeks after making an offer our new best friends still don't have a solicitor lined up ! OMG my lovely stuff !
