    Thank you maman, yes I think you do get more choosy, after culling my wardrobe there is no point in filling it with things that are just okay! I want to feel good in them!

    I'm away to the west coast of Scotland for a few days, on the Gulf Stream so always a bit warmer and lovely to get by the sea. Then in 4 weeks I'll be in Tunisia ... Shouldn't really but hey ho... Relax and read books for a week. Prob not much money to leave the all inclusive out hotel but I wanted some relaxing time with oh. DStep d is off to Ibiza again this year so just us :)

    Morning all,

    Thanks bitsy loving this thread:D I've pm'd you.
    Hope hubby gets something soon, in the mean time enjoy your hols, I love Cornwall.
    My dh is very quiet at the moment with summer hols so we are being very careful.
    I'm very cross with myself as I've just not been on plan with SW this weekend, no idea why, weather, circumstances but mainly in that can't be @rsed frame of mind. I must get back on today. I know how rubbish I feel when I'm heavier.
    I did give myself a lovely manicure last night and had a nice lukewarm bath. I'm not the best sleeper and really struggle when it's warm. Roll on Autumn and winter, my favourite time of year. Hubby thinks I'm crackers.
    Anyway better get on. Have a good day all

    I've had a good declutter of my shoes today, really pleased with myself as I've been meaning to get round to it for ages.


    Those I got rid of went in the bin (seriously scruffy) or ready for CS (too frumpy).


    I probably don't really love some of the ones that I've kept but they'll do until I find nicer ones to replace them.


    I'm loving the weather.;)

    Hello everyone

    Been really busy today. Ds2 and I set to and unpacked a load of boxes, have set out the sitting and dining room. Still needs decorating, carpets and some extra furniture but we put some rugs down so we will be comfortable.

    OH about the same, no real change.

    I got rid of 5 pairs of shoes yesterday, 3 hats, 3 jackets and a few tops. Still got a lot of sorting out to do. I foresee several trips the charity shop as well as the tip.

    I have quite a few treasures that I also need to make decisions about stuff I never use and which will only clutter up valuable space. I need to get valuations done first because some of it will be of value.

    My bAck is killing me so it's sofa time tonight.....perhaps a glass of something medicinal is called for:rotfl:

    Was dealt a real body blow today. OH not doing too well. the chest infection is actually under control but it seems to have done a lot of damage. His overall condition has taken a nosedive..

    His GP has written up an "Antcipatory prescription" for medications to help with end of life care, pain relief and saliva control.

    His team don't know if he will rally this time or whether this is the big one - only time will tell. The care plan will not kick in until the time is right but at least everything is in place should there be a sudden need.

    So..... As you can imagine not the best of days........
