No notifications again today. Not had a good day. Just about managed to put the washing out on a real washing line. Someone put one up last week. I think they were volunteers from the refugee agency. I have been trying to get us another Whirligig for two years.

I ended up having to go back to bed this afternoon.

Have a lovely time with your DB monna. Surely millie will get you up.

I'm not surprised you may have a wrist fracture Mar. I think they often go together you must have been in agony with that as well. I hope they get you sorted asap. I would give you a big hug but I think it will hurt too much.

My temporary ban has finished and I have enjoyed the time away, it has broken my mse addiction and I have a new small tight group of online friends. My being has changed from stressed to very happy, content and fulfilled


The personal update: the old house turned out to be horrendous when it came to the survey, it needed major work top to bottom, many things had been hidden, so I withdrew my offer. The very next day I started searching online for a new house, much better for me at my stage in life. The old house was the one that had alerted me to the major attractions of moving to that small market town, only 13 miles away from here. I decided that I wanted to be in this place and yesterday, after a couple of false starts, found my perfect new home. Small family builders and the best build I have ever seen. Tiny garden but 100% private and bright and sunny. I have reserved it and will be moving late September


Those old house worries evaporated once I withdrew and realisation set in, I will be giving up my allotment but I will be doing more cycling and exploring the many new opportunities offered in this new arty crafty place. There are not hoards of houses where I will be, just a few and they are separated. 5 minutes walk from the shops, buses, doctors and plenty of lanes for cycling. The house is smaller than here, better for me tbh so I have masses more that needs to go, I start clearing again today


I will feel cocooned and cosy, it has that clearview solution 400, underfloor heating and a very high spec of finish and appliances. The best insulation possible, even better than here. A garage with a cavity wall so it will be dry and safe for storage and food, if vermin-proofed
Today I will do the scale drawings again, try to visualise where I will put stuff, so I can see what has to go. I go from 4 rooms downstairs to 2, I lose 200 sq feet. The house was cheaper, 40k cheaper than the old house and I won`t have to spend any extra. Still 4 bedrooms and one will make that perfect sewing room again but with added spinning and knitting crafts


The allotment beds already have a home, to my dd, who is very excited and will inherit everything including my rotations notebook. Today, I tackle tools and maintenance things, I will no longer need them. I will be concentrating only on keeping anything to help progress my wood carving. My Excalibur dehydrator is going up for sale today, no longer needed. Yes, important items are leaving but I am going to feel lighter with every step


One last thought about genes and genetics. I have 50% Polish, eastern European genes and 50% dutch and was born in the uk. My family genetic line comes straight down from 1350 and all the way it is farming, horticultural and baking. That is where I got my skills. These are my indie genes, you can combine those 2 words and create another spelling to a misused word. I live amongst people in my rural county, who have a similar line of uk genetics, running through generations, farming and baking mainly. We all knew how to live in peace and harmony with the land and its wildlife. I will say no more now, my stay with mse is over

:wave: bye Kittie xx

YAY! Kittie's back. Not that we ever really lost her but it is so uncomfortable knowing that someone here could be so small minded and unnecessarily spiteful.
However, we know who our friends are, don't we.

Thank you for your good wishes. I woke up all on my own, Millie and I have had our breakfast, in a minute I will have my shower and be already to be picked up by DIL at 8.00am.

Tablet will be coming with me in the hope that I don't lose touch while I'm away but we will see.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY (specially for kittie!)

Sometimes you just have to turn around, give a little smile, throw the match and burn that bridge.

Sad to see you go kittie, you have helped so many in here over the years. People who do nasty sneaky things to others always forget that malice tends to become a boomerang that turns back and clonks them one on the head.

KITTIE I'm glad you've been able to come back, it was a wrongness that you were not able to post for a while and I'm so very pleased you've been given the opportunity to actually return even if it is to say goodbye. I'm really pleased for you to have found the 'right' house for your future life and wish you peace, contentment and fulfilment in your every waking minute from now on, good luck with the move and be happy lovey! If in the fullness of time you feel you could come back and let us know you're settled and thriving that would be a great joy, take care, Lyn xxx.

If I could thank these posts more than once I would. Kittie will be sadly missed, she did so much good on this site and for it's posters. I send her my best wishes for her exciting new start. x
