Morning really enjoyed my massage yesterday she is very good not supposed to do a lot afterwards but I never stopped got a load of stuff packed took another 2 bags to the charity shops going to start on bedding today and I have another small cupboard to go through we are going to need a fleet of vans at this rate how the hell we accumulated all this stuff I will never know I don’t know how it’s all fit in the house some things like records and photos have been in boxes at the back of the cupboard for over 30 years never seen daylight so why are we keeping them madness we have got surveyor coming this morning so that’s another step forward I have 2 broken printers and 2 broken laptops he is taking them to the tip today he doesn’t want to but I have asked around at local places I didn’t know if people might use them for parts but nobody is interested they are going making a Shepard’s pie for later and calling at sons for 5 minutes peace have a good day everyone whatever you are doing0

Is the new house the same size or are you downsizing. It really is scary the amount of ‘stuff’ we accumulate. I try and keep on top of it.....not easy when dh keeps sneaking things back in 😂😂😂😂😂January spends - £587.581

Milan the new house is much larger but it has no garden just a large south facing yard and a garage as much as I love the house I am in and I love my large garden it’s always been to small my kitchen is tiny I will feel like I have room to breathe in my new house that’s why I am always trying to get rid of stuff and trying to convince my hubby we don’t need anything else I have always refused to have anything done with the loft because I know he would fill it and I think the ceiling would end up coming down but the new house has a loft that is big enough to be used as a bedroom and I bought the house on the promise nothing was getting dumped up there I am being ruthless0

morning just been to the market for veg dog had a walk and she will be getting another one later eating out of cupboard and freezer so spends are really low here that’s the way I want to keep them have a lot of saving to do if I am going to do what I want to my new house just busy clearing out cupboards here and packing but it’s a slow job now it’s alright clearing out and packing boxes but where do you stand them all plus I’ve felt as if I’m full of cold since Friday just can’t shake it of would help if the weather warmed up I think have a good day everyone whatever you are doing0

Hope you feel better soon. It’s about time the weather warmed up, we seem to be getting April’s weather in May this year. Don’t envy you packing up boxes but got to be done and worth it in the end.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Had the dog out for a good run this morning it is now pouring down and it is set in for the day also done a tip run another load of stuff gone took another 3 bags of stuff to the charity shops and called at library changed books love a good read and have to have a book on the go to go to bed on a night but with the house move to much on my mind and finding it hard to concentrate so picked up 3 Josephine Cox books nice easy reads and not to taxing and a strict talk with hubby about keeping everything even showing him the sheds with all the empty paint tins gone yes empty why I don’t know he said he’s only things he needs and it’s nothing to do with him he was only keeping them for me in case I wanted anything touching up as there was still little bits in god help us but he has been warned everyone has all paperwork in at solicitors so it’s just a waiting game now but the man I am buying off gave me a bit of good news today he has told EA when we get a date he is happy to let me have the keys for the house for a few hours the day before because it is empty so I can go down and wash the kitchen cupboards out and other bits of jobs and I will be able to take a few boxes down and his tool kits to put in the garage which will be a great help and the next day the removal van can just take the furniture so looking good up to now hope it stays that way1
