Of course it counts ive it’s decluttering. I’m decluttering chocolate digestives.
Hi Who so sorry about your bereavement 💐 be kind to yourself, I think in these circumstances one just has to do whatever it takes to get through each day 💐
Wow sc you are really flying through those BRCs lately! It’s great when you can amalgamate lots of them into one smaller amount. Although I dislike being left with all the random shizz I don’t know what to do with (basically my whole house ATM 🧐🙄)
Well, DD has been collected by friend and I set up her first (wonderfully geeky) email address 😱 and a parent link control thingy for her phone (eg she has to get my permission to download any games etc). DS is now outside playing football with DH until DSD gets here, she returned from Japan at the weekend.
Also earlier DHphoned the landlord and told them we are leaving! Eeeek! It’s all really sinking in now. Apparently she was pleasantly surprised that we actually have given her the heads up and told her. As if after ten years we’d just bugger off and stop paying rent. WTF? Wondering if she’s had some bad experiences before us, I’m sure she only had short term tenants before us though.
Soooooo much to do. I am feeling so much happier though, since that most recent visit to the house. I think it’s finally hit me that basically we can do what we like with it - obviously it is not OUR property but HA rules are that we can decorate, put shelves up etc with complete freedom (it is only more structural changes - eg taking cupboard out to fit a dishwasher which we hope to do someday - that we need to ask permission for, after living there for a year). I have never had this. Just knowing we can actually choose colours and wallpaper and (eventually) flooring, and paint what WE want, it’s HUGE! And I’m seeing the potential and imagining how it could look, planning the garden etc... I know it will take a long time to get there but OMG. For the first time I will have a house to be proud of. ❤️⭐️
