  • I think I might have my decluttering mojo back........It has been missing a long old time but today, after a positive conversation with mum (on steroids currently, amazing, mum without pain is like mum from WAY back! Bright, chatty, forward looking. Made me a cup of tea!) I spent the day cleaning my room. It doesn't look amazing but I have a working tv! and can get to the window(which I cleaned!) . I went through my clothes another bag to go to the charity shop. Also one bag of rubbish (including litter trays before you all think I am a filthy !!!!!! and one bag of recycling. 

    Am so tired but it was a good day. I feel like there is progress. XXX 


    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • That does sound like amazing progress. Glad your mum is doing okay at the minute. It seems to be making a huge difference x

    Great news that the steroids are making your mum feel better. Glad you found your decluttering mojo.

  • Hope all is well Buffy and it's just work that has kept you away - like with me. :kissing_heart:

  • Hello all, 

    Well it is work CCL, but it has been a rough week personally. My lovely best friend's fabulous mum died on Monday. I haven't been able to get to my friend yet, she is my absolute rock and anchor and I miss her. I can't even write how lovely her mum was so welcoming and kind. Also,  had rubbish news about house bun so need to take him to the vets to do the decent thing, I hate doing it this way as I feel like I am fitting it in around other things. But it must be done. my poor little bun. XX 

    Aside from that work is hell, I love my groups but pressure from leadership is huge and relentless. 

    One thing mind, no time to spend any money! 

    XXX 

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Sorry to hear about your friend’s mum, so sad. Also sorry to hear it’s not good news about the house bun. Heartbreaking on both counts. 

    Sending lots of love and hugs your way xx
