Pigpen, you are so naughty , having met your Mother I know that you wouldn't DARE to tell her to shut the f**k up, she'd kill you....:rotfl:

Decluttering another coffee and then I really must get going.

Remembered some more stuff stashed for ebay.

De.Nattom, hun I think you need to give yourself permission to put a little distance between yourself and your Mum/Grandmother. Sounds like you have enough to del with without taking on other people 'issues'.

Do you think your Mum suffers from this

My dad certainly does, he gets obsessive about collecting certain items and collects like mad, it was originally records, he has over 30,000, I kid you not. Over the years its progressed to oil lamps, books, african art. He's one person living in a semi detached 3 bedroomed house and you can't move in it because of stuff. He cannot 'let go' of any of it either, he's pathologically 'stuck'. Come to think of it, erm.....I a bit like that too.:o:o:o

Off I go...

Do I get a star for resisting buying this amazingly gorgeous Chasseur Cast Iron Casserole?

WANNA BET??? I said those very words to her just yesterday.. twice!

De.Nattom, hun I think you need to give yourself permission to put a little distance between yourself and your Mum/Grandmother. Sounds like you have enough to del with without taking on other people 'issues'.

ditto.. they sound like they are just dragging you down because they want you to be as miserable as them.. if they are incapable of clearing their own mess then they are the ones who have to live in it.. not you.. leave them be! I have been in despair with the clutter and mess and stuff.. but we had 10 of us living in a small 3 bedroomed house.. it is slowly getting better since we moved and I learned not yo horde carp.

I think the thing to do with your grans stuff is take it straight to either the tip or a charity shop far enough away from her that she can't go buy all her junk back.. maybe your mum should take her access to the bank accounts away instead of yours!

They both need to be growing up a lot by the sounds of it!

Embb... I'm fairly certain you all know pretty much all there is to know.

11 ebay items revised.. 29 left to do! *cry wail sob*

off to find a dust sheet and a roller and some paint.. and a brush.. back later.
