    Why don't you carboot all the stuff MG - what you don't get rid of goes to the charity shop?

    And from your recent posts I take it Sugah's dietary cleanout has also worked to give you energy?

    Right thats another four bin bags gone out of the door - my problem now is that I have filled two big black bins.

    I might chance my arm and fill next doors (the flat is empty and being renovated and bins are collected tomorrow morning). I could collect the bags here and then fill their bin tonight and drag it to the kerb then back in again after they have all been emptied.

    Wish I could say that the place is looking better - but I guess I have quite a way to go yet.

    Time to find something yummy from the stores for lunch - although it looks like might have to go for milk this afternoon if DS2 has milk and cookies for afternoon snack.

    Still the UGC is holding out

    I'm taking it this person wants to be paid for the advice and support the Matrix Members give each other for belonging.

    What a crock

    I've got a campervan load of the best stuff set aside for a carboot - the rest is being slowly edged out of the door.

    Sugah has given me back some of my energy - better still she gave me a "severe" talking to abut lots of stuff. In a way that only people who have known you for twenty years can do.

    Think the iron supplements are helping though:D

    Yeah - we have quite enough [STRIKE]bullies[/STRIKE], Ahem!!! motivational people on board ta :rotfl:

    Mind you I am finding the three year old sadly lacking in the cheerleading front ;)

    I remember making a decision to leave a partner when I was in London (the one who is now living as a woman now). The drag queens all turned up one Saturday morning straight from the Club - dressed as cleaners in rollers, hairnets and pinnies - brandishing bin liners, mops and dusters.

    They trouped down the street ( a very staid Wandsworth Road - thik Victorian villas) singing "Sisters are doing it for themselves"

    They had me decluttered, packed and cleaned out of the house by Sunday Tea-time.:rotfl::rotfl:

    What the neighbours made of that I have no idea:D

    All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. ~Anatole France
    To change one's life:
    1. Start immediately.
    2. Do it flamboyantly.
    3. No exceptions.



    Teaching the Caterpillar to Fly -- A work in progress
    The caterpillar crawls and eats and eats.
    And grows, shedding its skin but little more.
    Crawl, climb, eat. Crawl, climb, eat.|
    Of all of our lives, can we not soar?

    One day as two caterpillars looked
    As a beautiful butterfly sailed by.
    Of course one said to the other:
    "You'll never get me in a butterfly, high."

    Gratefulness, laughing and smiles.
    But no clear understanding or view
    Of these ironies and implications
    What was The Answer you knew?

    Resistance. Perspective. and Change.
    All of these and more are involved.
    Yet insight is limited. And self-perspective too.
    My mother was a moth - this problem is solved.

    One must STOP in the caterpillar journey
    For transformation, what we can become.
    One must change to a much gooey mess
    to undergo metamorphosis and change.

    Is the potential understood? Is it realized?
    We just don't know. Yet it does.
    The Call of The Wild. And the need to Become.
    Gain the wings, lose the teeth and the fuzz.

    It is about letting go, trust the process
    Of growth and experience and your view.
    It is Becoming. You are more than you are
    With things you already had. And you knew?

    The colors are on the butterfly
    And already within what we were.
    Can we all learn from this? Can we help?
    These changes will most surely occur.

    Hey MG, not sure if it is of any use but I just came across an organisation called Contin You - educational. I know they have a welsh branch but not sure about Scottish. They seem to be involved in community schools and after school learning. http://www.continyou.org.uk/
    Thought it might be of interest.

  • Right... just about to pack up and go home to my second full time job (or at least it feels like it sometimes!) of house skivvy. I have had a brilliant day today. Not really got through loads of work, but I have been having banter with the team (all of them... even the one who i can't get on with!) and when I haven't been talking with them, I have been listening to my MP3 player. I always forget how much music improves my mood and soothes my soul! So, I have charged up my MP3 player, and I am intending on playing it very loudly when I am at home doing the housework. And probably, dancing like a loon whilst doing so. So, exercise and a clean house all in one! :D

    See you (briefly) in the morning! :)
