Well we are slowly getting rid of our junk. I am amazed at how much 'truly valuable!' stuff, 2 people can accumulate over 16 years. We have filled our 3 bed house.

So, I decided to spend an hour or so going through my Family History files and paperwork to see what I have.

Yeah right, have turned on the computer, paperwork sitting there untouched, and the self righteous feeling I had of good intentions just walked out the room!!!!

We have however, emptied our middle bedroom upstairs and once the desk has been dismantled and the BHF come to take it away, we can then plough on with starting the redecorating of the 3 bedrooms.

It just some days seems such a daunting task.

And to top it all, the fence at the back of our garden, which we hoped we could get away with not having to replace, suddenly over the last week has started to give up under the weight of the Ivy, which is coming from a garden on the street behind us, somewhere down the hill.

At this rate, by the time this place is ready to go on the market, we will be too exhausted to care about moving!!!

Maybe I will do a bit of clearing up later on...... ;-)
