Hi Blue-52. Js taking hundreds of pounds worth of gardening stuff to tip. Everything from lots compost seedling growers seedling warmers, lots the various correct grit and compost. . Very large new pots weed suppresant , foods
Shelving units, seeds. Framing, bamboo sticks.
I used to be really good at gardening. I do t have energy or strength to to any of it now😭😢
.
Seeing it all go makes me mad at myself and emotional.
However it is a beautiful day but darned cold😱.
Morphine time. I'm too much pain.
Well I hope you are 🤗,🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😊.
I've taken a minute to say goodbye to my gardening era.
Sounds like spring clean lol have you thought about putting good stuff in garden etc with note saying free as one of my neighbours did and I got a cat bungalow plastic as their cat sadly passed so much stuff could go to charity or given to second home or even sell best of luck iam the same got a compulsive buying or holding habit due to traumatic experience health treatments in hospital in icu 2months
So far the Brexit room is empty of dry food chairs clothes and electrical items. Jon is exhausted. He thinks the one day tidy will now be a four day empty and tidy lol.
I've had to take extra pain meds and chocolate 😂🤗🤗🤗🤗.
Every time I helped I got told off.
Jon has chronic neuropathy and nerve damage to both feet🙁. I feel useless but I'm trying to be encouraging.
I hope today you are taking it alittle easier now you have made a start, the weather is chilly and certainly keeps us indoors more so I’m trying too do alittle tidying in a couple of bedrooms we don’t use now it’s just us two, so easy too shut the cupboards doors 😉lots hugs xx
Hi Yassytina sweetie 🙂🤗🤗🤗 thanks for your reply 😊🤗.J had his 2 bedrooms and I have 2 one of which is for any carer taking over from Jon. Jon's ordered me to rest and nap as he could see I was lagging. He's such a sweetie.
He's already done 2 car loads of tip trips. Just had lunch so Js back to it. His mum is always sending him posh stuff like bedding and towels and clothes that don't fit😂😂😂😂😂
I've four drawers under my bed that emptying straight into bags for the tip😁😁😁😁😁😁😊
Hi Gigi sweetie,I explained that to Jon. We've little clear ups in the past and they felt great. I already barely recognise the rooms and we've still a way to go. I'm having a bad day and can't hide it after yesterday.
Jon cleaned my bathroom last night. Spotless. Scared to fart in it lol😂😂😂.
I really want to go to bed yawn. But I need to support Jon.
Ha, you should see my garage, the car only JUST fits in. I decided to do a clean up of it all and knew I could only do one wall at a time. Achey afterwards I’ve yet to do the other parts of the memorabilia (junk) in the garage.
My youngest daughter is the same.Open a cupboard and it’s full to the ceiling.big bonus is you can donate to charity so its win win .You feel better with more space too
I admire you both. It's not easy to get rid of things whether you really need them or not. I had very little as a child/ teen so now I keep everything - just in case.Moving house soon so having to declutter, what a nightmare on so many levels. I wish you luck, and send big gentle hugs to you both. X
I realise you're a way through it all now Dawn, but if you've got anything else to get rid of that might do someone else with very little a good turn, please offer it up on the Trash Nothing app. Then people will arrange to come and collect from you and that will save you some tip runs. And it will also help to cut down what ends up in landfill.
That said, I applaud what you're doing, wish I had help to declutter my own home and send you many hugs and well wishes too x
Hello again, not sure what you mean by my verbal art. I write poetry, lyrics and sometimes make artistic pieces too. But I'm not sure you would have seen any of it, (I don't recall having posted any previously) and I doubt it would be considered on topic here. But please let me know what you meant. Toni
Smilesalot Gosh, no offence just can't work out if it was me as I can't recall ever posting any poetry. Doesn't mean I haven't, just that my Fibro, Hashi, ageing excuse for a memory has no clue. Most of my poems are very long. The shortest I've written starts with "Don't suffer in silence or enjoy in solitude pleasures and pains that become your life's interlude"... Does that sound familiar?
👍 it does. I used to read veteran poetry a lot when I was younger. I thought I was going crazy lol. I wrote really rubbish poetry but still triedI don't anymore. It's really sunny 🌞
Thank you for replying when you're feeling so poorly. I didn't even realise I had posted that. I used to have such a good memory; now it's like a colander withe the solid bits filled out 😨
