After the discussion on the preppers thread today I'd just like to say I think your declutterers thread is just right supportive and motivational with humour. Counting everything that leaves the house whatever the destination seems to be the secret.I've just shed a few tears . I'd watched the NW news and the Snowdrops in Chester. I never watch the one show but noticed a face I'd seen online a number of times. A man who started helping the elderly or disabled and poorer people with broken or botched boilers free of charge. he wasn't well off but started Go Fund Me and has been a genuine life saver for many.His name is James he's from Burnley and Burnley came out to honour him today via the one show.A humble man but one of lifes real heroes who has struggled with his own mental health but took himself out of his comfort zone to help those in need.We can share the Yorkshire tea. First priority was stocking up on that so there is always a proper brew.I ran out a few years ago and things were rather miserable for those on the Fence until I was well enough to go shopping and remember to pick some up. There were a few shopping trips I forgot to get it so it took a little time for Normal to be restored and I was very ratty until it was.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Polly, I would be a bit wary of sitting on the loo myself. It is a very good loo, with a seat specially designed to be easily removed for intense cleaning. A bit too easily if I'm honest. Any careless movement results in the seat lurching sideways and throwing its occupier off. Or at least waving her arms and legs about in an extremely undignified manner whilst trying to regain her balance and some residue of dignity.
I've stocked up on Yorkshire tea.I believe that friends are quiet angels

I was more concerned if someone from the past found an image of me and spread it far and wide . I was wracking my brains and remebered the naughtiest boy in the class. The one I had to chase through Chester Zoo as he headed straight for the penguins just released by the keepers for the daily penguin walk along the path.Every school trip I'd be dragging him off statues and out of places not for the public. Zoo Stately Homes all sorts of places I'd be running like the wind in hot pursuit.I imagine he would enjoy coming across an image of "Miss" sitting on a loo holding a teacup and would spread it far and wide.Well done on the Yorkshire tea less to carry on the journey.Mrs CD I've realised I've been confusing you with Mrs Salad Dodger on the decluttering thread. I was about to edit my post and the laptop froze. Then Windows wanted to do an update. I'm blaming the Firefox update it always causes problems.I am calming myself with all the lovely snowdrops I've seen in the last few days without leaving the house. The ones in Chester were stunning. I love Snowdrops.pollyxETA Sometimes I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your home monna. Such larks!It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Trust the psychic one to lower the tone.Monnas en suite bog! How rude. Monna has gone above and beyond wearing herself out in the process to create a haven of cleanliness to entertain her guests.The Ming is otherwise engaged today so we can talk behind her back. No use saying Patios move and there is no evidence.As I posted during her break from the Fence. There is evidence a patio and numerous accounts of all her evil heavily denied strange doings.All in Vanoonoos SHTF thread put in my bookmarks when Zippy was about to close the thread. Aside from the Mings dreadful deeds there was a lot of useful preppers stuff so I kept the very long thread.Lovely to see you burtha you work so hard and do so much you deserve the sun in Portugal so make the most of it . The sky is abit brighter here, still cold but no rain/ Your ring sounds just right funky and didn't cost a Kidney proper Old Style,It is so good to feel the positivity and sheer happieness in your posts now very well deserved.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
