    Please pace yourself, remember you've been through a lot recently, and while clearing out will make you feel better, you need to do it without exhausting yourself!

    Thanks Greenbee. I'm pacing myself but it's helping my mood by getting stuff done.

    I'm just in the middle of sorting the front room after months of a leaking bay. I think it's going to take more than today. :eek: The mess is :eek::eek:.

    Anyway I'm not getting much done mooching on here. Have a fab day.

    Thinking about you PH --- you're doing so well. ((((hugs))))
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Ah thank you chrystal.

    The front room is a bigger job than I thought. It doesn't help I keep being floored by hot flushes. My goodness they are swines. I never imagined. :rotfl:

    I feel so middle aged..Anyone want to join me and become a teenager again. Back in the 80s though, not now, the music is carp.

    Off to have an indie disco by myself. Oh god, I've lost it. I blame the drugs ( not illegal ones before anyone gets the wrong idea).

    I know what you mean about feeling middle-aged. My list today was eye test/check pensions. I've been putting both off as such old activities. Can I join you in the 80s?

    You're welcome DIA.

    Boo to eye tests. I've been wearing glasses or contacts since 1982. I dread to think how much I've spent over years. :eek:I always get the giggles when they use thought thing and get too close. I hope it went well for you.

    I'll come back to the eighties too though I was in my 20s and having an wonderful time in London. No money, but I still had the best time.

    You realise I will go to bed singing Tracy Chapman songs now?

    And that's me off to do some kitchen decluttering to a Tracy Chapman soundtrack. 'All that you have is your soul ' seems particularly apt.

    Ah bless you both. Such nice girls listening to Tracey Chapman (I do like her stuff too but.........) I was more rowdy loud goth, punk, indie and rock. I guess I'm the noisy one. :rotfl:

  • Hot flushes are the pits Parsnip, especially in warm weather :(.

    I was in my late teens/early twenties in the eighties so it's definitely my era. I'd like to look the way I did then but have the knowledge and confidence I have now :).

    I hope your de-cluttering is progressing well.
