The ALL-YEAR-ROUND job of DECLUTTERING and CLEANING our homes is daunting. Especially for those of us who HOARD, or struggle with depression, and decisions, anxiety & other MI. I'm so challenged in this way so reaching out for support. Maybe start an Declutterers Army 💪

Life is not fair.
Its their bad. Dont take it in.
Its new ownership arrogance, where people think that money is King.
So glad you are giving yourself permission for a lapses week.
You did geat things getting as organised as you did.
Your son prob ably has completely his own stuff going on. He is still being polite and considerate in his words. That is something. Many young men are not that decent to their mums. Hope one day he can show you more love.

Thinking of you @Former-Member and so wish that I could have offered some practical help to you. I guess that's the limitation of an anonymous forum. All I can do is let you know that you are in my thoughts, that I am sending positive vibes your way and that I think you're amazing for achieving what you did under such difficult circumstances.
Check in when you can.

@Former-MemberI think you have done an amazing job with what you have achieved.
I found the task of moving traumatic even with a mountain of help, I certainly can't see how I could ever have achieved what you have alone. Will be thinking of you as you take time out to recuperate.

i have taken the bulk of the art gear across to the art room. It was a roomful, so it has made a huge difference to the tidiness of our home unit, as it was always going to ..... just one set of art shelves, an easel, and a stool to go, but that will be after the weekend now.
I will start unpacking suitcases tomorrow, which includes taking another small household worth of stuff to the rental unit ..... and I fixed a broken coat stand today that was holding handbags, scarves, hats, jackets etc ..... another big tidy-up difference there.
Missing you @Former-Member. I hope you are parked up somewhere scenic where nature can soothe you ...... you have been an Amazon.
