    I hate the thought of having wasted all that space! But I'm very, very glad its not coming with me.

    Oh - I'm trying not to think about the *money* I wasted buying it all!

    The new word strikes again :)

    I love that new word! Will definitely use it in future. You are getting through so much and are right not to take the *stuff* with you.

    Huh? I thought I posted this morning? Well, I *did*, I just didn't post on here ... how confusing! My ruminations about where my home is on the web are more meaningful than I thought, apparently :rolleyes:

    Anyway, the list today is full of tiddly things that really, really need to be done. Deed of Transfer, which needed a trip to BP's for a signature, which then needed a phone call to the conveyancer, blah blah .... my printer's stopped working, and there are things I need to print out, and I'm still struggling with that on the Techie board. Done some shredding (not the exercise, the cross-cut variety :) ) and lots of scanning of stuff that then goes in the recycling. Phoning Virgin, who *have* set up a date to come connect me up, but didn't confirm it like they said they would do. That sort of stuff. And I'm still going. And so is the washing machine :)

    Hi KC, I've been lurking (just had enough time to keep up with dairies but not really join in :o) and you've been doing really well. bet a few months ago you didin't think you could be this organised ;).

    Googled DH meds and found lots of threads with up to 20kg weight gain :eek: even though the manufacturers say it doesnt happen. looking at swapping or trying to come off completely as a big Santa tummy does nothing for your self esteem at age 36, even if it does make a nice pillow!

    KC you are going great guns - it will be so lovely when you move not to be dragged down by unnecessary "stuff".

    Its funny - I don't feel organised, but I *do* feel I'm going great guns. Tho I'm also feeling like I'm being very lazy :D I suppose if I'm feeling all 3 things, then I'm doing something right :D And yes, to not be weighed down by all this unnecessary stuff - wow! All that time. Being in the garden. Being *able* to be in the garden :)

    The Deed of Transfer has gone off to the conveyancer, and I took the opportunity to walk round the block to look at the stormclouds and some lovely plants that are flowering just now.

    So now, I have to:
    - put the washing machine on again.
    - take the recycling down to the garage.
    - tape up 2 boxes waiting for me on the top floor.
    - maybe, maybe, maybe, sweep the garage. Or part of it. The sweepings are mostly organic (soil from repotting, and leaves that have blown in) so they'll go on the garden :cool:

    Oh, and I was wondering what to spend my paypal loot on - water butt, stand and garden hose, anyone :D:D:D
