Has anyone got any practical advice i have a real problem in sorting things out. I want to de-junk. Everytime i go to open a draw to clear it out i see a memory of my x and shut it, i can't face the problem at all. I want to sort things out but there are to many poems, or notes or tickets anything really. I have tried to tackle this problem every month now, thinking i'll be ready next time i try. I never get passed the first few things.
I also haven't slept in my bedroom since he left, i don't even go in it. Any advice to do it once and for all without getting in a mess?????
Thanks i know i'm always asking questions, but who can answer them as well as you lot, creep creep

FF, he did mean the poems. He's off on another planet at the moment. I'll stop being a silly cow.

Neither am I particularly but you should have seen his new moose. Bison alert.

Neither am I, but I have a team of designers who can do marvellous things in photoshop. Always meant to bring in my wedding photos, actually.

Recommend ruthless friend with lots of boxes and a large loft

Everyone can look photogenic with a good photographer, even me, and I usually look like a cross between Lily Savage (the hair) and Mr Blobby's older and less attractive sister...
