From Trash to Cash: Dribbling a river

paulabear

sorry Munchki! I popped on, posted, and went back to what I was doing. I'm making an ornament for my grandma, it'll have all three of the kids on and some sort of sign saying 'we love you grandma' lol. to be honest I've never used 'proper' clay except at school, I only got the polymer clay after enjoying plasticene as a kid and having fun with Fimo once at someone's house a few years ago... I think your best bet might be to get a big block of cheap polymer/air drying clay and have a mess around with it, see what you come up with. It's very therapeutic! xx

Oh EVENSTAR. i AM SO GLAD YOU POSTED. Big hugs hun. I cannot stop and post for long but didn't want to ignore your post either. I don't think you want loads of ideas and suugestions bombarding you. however I do think there are things you can do to start off with but I need to think them through a bit before posting. Am also going to PM you the link to the ville which you might not know about if you haven't read back but might be a more private area for you to talk to the dribblers.
keep coming back on hun. I will try to be more useful in my next post but really glad you came and shared this with us hun.

Hugs Even. I just started typing a response but I am not sure if I can word what I want to say, its along the lines of I think you need to work out where you want to be, what will make you happy and then make the decisions that will get you there. How you are now is not good for you or anyone around you. I do know that is far easier said than done though.

Also I think, you would be best off with your OH. You say how your DD keeps going back to her BF, maybe you need to lead by example?

Huge hugs, I am really glad you came back to us....please look out for Jo's pm to the 'ville.

Thanks Jo, it went really well after a lot of nervousness this morning. I woke up at 5.30 with butterflies and if it wasn't for the fact that I had all the boxes in the car ready to go, I think I would have changed my mind!

I took £33 and it cost £6 for the spot, so profit of £27. However, much better than this is the fact that I've got rid of most of the big stuff that was cluttering up my house. When it went quiet, I took my time packing it up, sold a few more bits to stragglers, and sorted the stuff out into a charity shop box and a "give it one more chance" box. I'm going to do another one near Christmas time I think as I have a lot of boxed games that I could take with me.

I had to mutter my word "courage" quite a few times this morning to get me through it And here was me thinking I'd moved on from that word, lol!

How are you feeling now Jo? I know you were feeling the pressure a bit recently, but you seem to be more upbeat now. Hope it's eased off for you a bit hon.
