I've never watched those 'hoarder programs' but people have told me about the houses of horror! It's nice to have a good old clean out - we've started doing our attic spaces now DH is retired (again!). After this Christmas, when returning the pretties to their 11 month home, we will only keep a few items because it's just too much work dragging all those boxes out - pleurisy is nasty, a heart attack worse!!<br /><br />Have a lovely Christmas with your family - I enjoyed your post, it brought home (Devon) closer as this year, sadly, I won't be crossing the pond! <br /><br />Mary in North Carolina - A Breath of Fresh AirMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-17335866622362594052013-12-10T01:04:41.977-08:002013-12-10T01:04:41.977-08:00What will happen, when everything is at last '...What will happen, when everything is at last 'sorted', and you move, you will remember all the things you gave away and want them back ;) <br />thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-74994737809094030212013-12-09T11:43:47.735-08:002013-12-09T11:43:47.735-08:00I feel faint just looking at these pictures BBI feel faint just looking at these pictures BBThe Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-62431728231837538382013-12-09T10:30:44.798-08:002013-12-09T10:30:44.798-08:00R/Robin - I have been VERY good and hardened my he...R/Robin - I have been VERY good and hardened my heart over lots of books this past year, giving them to Charity shops when they haven't sold at car boot sale.

The hotty botty whilst I'm on the sofa works quite well too though, and hot drinks. It's hard parting with family belongings - my husband said the chaps who came to take away the furniture from his mum's house, flat-packed (for the dump. . .) his mum's glass-fronted display cabinet and that hurt, seeing a part of his family history junked like that.<br /><br />parsnip - ah, it's the buying of stuff in the first place which is the stumbling block here, because of our car boot sale strolls. Having said that, we have some lovely belongings which are so "us" and cost very little. Then there is the "seemed like a good idea at the time" pile!<br /><br />I loved the first sentence too!!

Getting it OUT was...Just collapsing in a heap now. Getting it OUT was actually surprisingly quick. The hard part was manouvreing half a roll of very heavy woollen carpet 100 yds from mum's bedroom, through her kitchen, up the yard, round the front of the house, up the hall, turn left and then try to jam it in through a right-angled doorway. . . Fortunately I was not involved in this (bless my menfolk) apart from moving ancestral portraits, a gun and a tyg . . .<br /><br />I have thoroughly overdone it now (too much leaning forward) and I have a little Pleurisy niggle which I hope I can remedy with a hotty botty clamped to my chest shortly!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-69389441521871485662013-12-08T08:27:10.625-08:002013-12-08T08:27:10.625-08:00Oh dear.
