@FiniteSagacity Sorry for your loss and all the difficulties around it 
IME what should remove 'excuses' or reasons, doesn't always turn out to, so be kind to yourself. Give yourself a recycling pass if it helps. These aren't standard circumstances. There are times when you just have to do whatever you have to do and not take on the responsibility of the world.
@Solo Good to see you rolling! Posting in a hurry, and will come back and read properly another time, but two things: If your sink is enamel or enamel coated then it probably needs recoatingt. It scrubs down over the years (my bath is also in need) and nothing will make it white again because the top layer is gone and the alkaline layer exposed.
. I don't seem to be able to send and receive DMs. (could make a throwaway email if needed) I'm pretty sure we're the same major city.
I have in one (of my not flooded) storage units; two brand new Queen sized quality mattresses looking for a home FOC. They were used on a tv ad for 1/2 a day! (One has a foot print where it was trodden on getting it down the stairs) As you know I too am trying to clear storage and ended up having to have a hospital bed.
May not be what you're looking for, but if you had any interest they're yours.FOC, and could be delivered for cost of fuel.
Just a thought. Pax wardrobes definitely the dream!
@Onebigargh Hello. Sounds like you're doing well letting things go. But that's the issue with HD, outside of it often being the stuff that was selected specifically because it was what was wanted, many people often can't 'just' insert logical solution here regardless of logic.
@BlackeyedSusan Well done. I still have lots of decorations that got temporarily put away to sort through and pack properly, as well as there's a raft of needles at aunts between a window and table that I can't currently get to. Sorry the vertigo isn't shifting, very unpleasent and unhelpful.
@WearyAuldWumman Inch by inch it's a cinch and all that.
@BlueSummerBaby re online resources, for (my) time management, I'm going to come back to and answer your important post another time if I may, as Im pushed for time as usual which is why I'm up at this time trying to catch up.
Tried to fix aunts washing machine, which hasn't worked, but she now has a very clean kitchen floor at least! Managed to repair and rehang her fridge door which the fixings broke after she grabbed it to prevent a fall, and the whole door fell off.
Handwashing done including a bedspread from hell that leaked red purple dye everywhere! Wondered if I'd ever be able to get it dry ever again, but it is. Launderette done. Basics covered, but an extra launderette run today while there's drying weather.
Builders have given me some more better fencing which is good, but it's the wrong type, so going to have to deconstruct it to use and make it fit. Another time consuming exhausting job, because no money to just buy what we need.
They've also given us some timber, which is a mixed blessing as it's had to go to storage until the overseer is off site, but it's for specific things and good quality.
Mice are in the communal area which is a worry.
Was hoping to use the BN w/end better for clutter busting, but very far behind on work (could be said of everything)and have to catch up or I wont have any work!.
