    Morning 3dogs and everyone.

    Hope you are OK SW.

    Raining here as well.

    I have another day of sorting stuff out before I move. Where does it all come from I wonder?

    Mr 3dogs rang to say I had come away with his storage unit keys with the car keys, so I had to nip back down to the car boot with them :mad: :mad: Still raining but he is going to put some covers over part of the stall so he can at least set up

    I know what you mean HL about the stuff you accumulate :eek: :eek: But you will get it sorted ;)

    HL, when we moved from a 1 bed flat (if you could even call it that!) - my LL was surprised at the amount of boxes we had in our living room, even DH asked me where I had stored all this stuff!

    I had sooooooooooo much stuff. Even now when he goes up in the loft he says, if we ever move, we had better do some decluttering before we move! but a lot of the stuff up there is his and needs shredding.

    but it is amazing how it all accumulates.

    good luck with sorting it all out.

    oh 3Dogs, let Mr 3Dogs know, I did take our old clothes down to the woman who buys them. She pays 50p a kilo but there is another one around, who if you call them, will collect but they only pay 30p for collection and 50p if you take it to them.

    I put in DH's old jeans, as they are quite heavy, so got £4.22 for our stuff. I know it's not a lot, but when you think how heavy his jeans are and how much room they take up in a black sack.... anyway less clutter in our house, got sick of trying to sell on ebay.

    BUT get this, she cuts her overhead costs by renting a storage unit,and working from it! So she has a little table, radio, chair and scales for weighing. Piled up at the back, where masses and masses of bags with clothes in!

    We're back from the car boot and have had our dinner - the lamb curry was loverley :j The rain stopped about 8 am and it stayed clear, though the wind picked up as the morning went on and it was quite strong when Mr 3Dogs packing up. Mr 3dogs still managed to have a fairly good day despite the lack of people walking round buying :money: :money:

    Gonna have a lie down for an hour or so now, while Mr 3Dogs has a nap on the sofa. Have fun with the boys when they arrive Kit :p

    Back later :D

    Hallo petal, well done on carboot and return you must be tired.

    Did you see HL's post on her blog? Gosh sounds fascinating and happy hooray. Wonder when she is moving. Hooray for her.

    Keep wanting to throw up. Am doing a quick tidy up and jumping into shower. Wont take long. Absolutely no work done. Just about crawling around. I think last week's extra hours knocked me out. Back to lie in's after work for a bit and healthy food only till body sorts itself out.

    Am happy.

    boys are here around 5pm. must pull self together before then. We will have a laugh and am looking forward to meeting Gary. He must think i am a basket case.

    had worried emails from lots of friends. had to apologise for being such a drama queen last night. Am an idiot sometimes. wish it would just stabilise.

    You certainly have overdone it Kit, sounds bad. Hope you are having fun with the guys and relaxing now

    I had 3 hours solid sleep and feel a little better now
