I fell off the sofa 😂 
Second time around I have been very lucky - all the above wrapped up in one package 😉 & have been together over 30 years, married over 28 🙂

Well talk about sorting your head out and decluttering your brain. 

 My biggest bugbear is technology.  I'm hopeless.  So this Morning I decided to tackle some outstanding issues I had with PayPal.  I had got myself into a right mess so I rang 
Customer services and a very nice guy sorted me out.  😁

On a roll I have cleaned out my Inbox and unsubscribed from a load of people who send me emails.  A good mornings work, so now time for a coffee break.

Still not been able to tackle shed, hopefully this week and I will have a helper too as Mum now at home (shielding). 
Been making good progress indoors though and almost ready to make my council housing application, just waiting on a letter from my GP. 

I think I'm so into decluttering partly because I know a move may be on the cards (even if it's several years away) but more as a reaction to what has happened in my life recently.

Losing my Nan and Uncle to Covid 3 weeks apart has been horrendous, we're only a small family to start with and I just feel we have been completely shattered apart as a family with these two losses.
It's up to the rest of us now to put the pieces back in such a way to fit together again, being forced apart due to the restrictions doesn't exactly help! 28 days until hopefully we can have garden visits.

Having such horrible change forced upon me I think has driven me to make changes of my own choosing and under my own control. Hence the decluttering.

Also it's made me realise while I had been taking steps to improve my life, including last year getting my absolute dream volunteer job after trying and waiting a whole year, I have been stuck in a massive rut for a significant amount of time and that doesn't make me happy at all. So even just a reorganise of a small area makes me feel lighter and like I am doing something positive.

@helensbiggestfan.... hope you enjoyed your well deserved coffee break. 

@KxMx.... awe I  really feel for you. You've been doing great with all that decluttering alone so give yourself as much break as you need.
You sound like you have had so much to deal with...physically and emotionally. Covid is certainly a destroyer of families in many ways. Its bad enough to lose one person but then 3 weeks later to lose another is definitely horrendous. Words are never enough and no matter how much we say stay strong etc....  it never seems adequate.
I can understand how it makes you look at your own life, and the changes that you want to make. 

A few years ago there were 3 deaths in my family within the space of 3 months..... they were all elderly but none were expected as being imminent. 
It forced us to deal with probate in 2 of those cases and a house clearance in another..... it's something that we Don't really prepare for.

I've been out of sorts for a few days.... over doing it and then suffering! 
A few days forced rest is irritating me as I  just want to get on and finish what I've started. 

It's unbelievable that we have been living with this pandemic for a year now.... in some ways it has gone fast but I realise that it has impacted on my life more than I though it would.

The end is hopefully in sight.... and I'm sure we will all be grateful for getting through it to the best of our abilities 💚

KxMx. Sorry to hear of all your sad losses.  It's hard isn't it.  Look after yourself, just go at your own pace.
