  • You've had a productive day and have just inspired me to go and clean my windows, which may also keep me out of the biscuit barrel :D

    Well eight black bags later ,2 tidy or just more empty cupboards later ,now nothing hidden under the bed or anywhere lol sacked trying to sell it really is now give, donate, bin i cleared out the downstairs last week and i can now tidy kitchen living room and bathroom in 10 mins .
    I an going to redo sons bedroom next he has just asked to get rid of his wrestling collection never thought i would hear him say those words however i think he has had a good look at everyone elses rooms and has decided to minimalise all by himself .the collection will go up the attic for 3 months and then if he doesnt want it back we will sell it on feel its only right to give him a cooling off period . Very productive weekend .

    Well things go up things come down ,think my mum has lung cancer she hadlost a lot of weight and then it just sort of levelled however gp sent her for chest xray friday and cat scan 1 week later so going with worse case scenario first and we shall see ,love my mam but i have watched her go down hill rapidly in the space of six months ,unfortunately it seems to be my role to inform the other 8 of us i have two left to inform will do that today then its fingers and toes crossed till the results come in . Like always my mam doesnt see the need for any fuss ,and she is coping by putting her head in the sand what you dont know cant hurt you attitude and then swinging to a well i have had my three score and ten attitude funny how we all cope and adjust differently .well probably not cheered anyone upwith my post this sunny sunday butif it is worse case scenario i have been blessed to have had my mum in my life for this long and she has made sure we are all strong people ,that in itself is a legacy and as she said we all die sometime .
