MORE RUBBISH
Posted May 6, 2003
Had a really good day de-junking. Both daughters, their husbands and all the grandchildren turned up, and between them they shipped away loads of pure rubbish to the local council tip.
The men dealt with that and the girls and I (suitably aided by 4,2, and 1 year old grandchildren !!) set about keeping them supplied. The cupboard-under-the-stairs, the hall, the landing and the bathroom all got the treatment. My mind's still a mess but I can now fit in a vacuum cleaner, and a loofah along with that loo roll. (see above entry).
I must just mention that after all the dump runs had been executed (4 in all) and refreshments dealt out all round, we women, (myself, two daughters and the 4 year old) all set about sorting out again, but the men went strangely quiet. Upon investigation, each father was sound asleep with their respective sons also snoring at their sides. We left them too it, we got on much faster!
I've got blood pressure - just been diagnosed - so now my blood pressure goes up because I am worried that I have got blood pressure. I dream about it and wake up with my heart pounding, and I cannot stop my mind racing. Any tips, any cure, probably no more than "don't worry". That's hard. My Dad died when he was 58 - never reached retirement. I am not far short of that and it plays on my mind. Ugh, shudder, no more, back to work and stop thinking.....

RUBBISH!
Posted Apr 30, 2003
My house is full of rubbish - they say the state of your personal environment is the state of your mind, and it's true. So - I am de-junking!
I have paid several visits to the local charity shops with erstwhile treasured hoardes (I must sell this at a car boot, this might be valuable, this might come in useful one day, this is a really interesting.....hmmm?) etc etc. I have made it a point of honour to have my 95 litre wheelie bin full to the brim and overflowing with rubbish every Wednesday waiting for the collection (sorry dustmen) and I have begun to de-junk and clean each room separately and attempt to keep it that way forever (ha!ha!).
Well the loo is looking good, only another 3 bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and bathroom to go, along with a garden, loft and cupboard-under-the-stairs.
My mind is still a jumble though, except that little corner there with a loo roll in it!
I don't have many friends - my fault, but different story. Perhaps someone out there might like to talk to me through this site - perhaps not.
Thank you ACE for your welcome.
