Where was I . . . ?

Golly. A week spent telling Jeremy IT'S JUST A COUGH, I don't need to go to the doctor, everyone in the village has one just like mine . . .

On my return from SA, I sloped off in to the spare room, on account of not wanting my coughing to keep him awake, assuming the cough would get better. Ha ha ha no. Cough just as bad (NO! IT's GETTING BETTER!) and J has had to join me in the spare room as we are in the middle of having a new bedroom installed. Ye Gods and Little Fishes, it's appalling how much rubbish you accumulate even in a bedroom which, while a very important room, obv., is not actually used for that much of the day.

And I never leave enough time to do a proper packing-up job, so in spite of all my intentions of sorting as I packed, a Monday morning deadline meant that no, the crap got packed along with the regular stuff. *Deep Breath* well, I here and now resolve that nothing is going back into our brand new bedroom that a) is not useful (or beautiful, Mr Morris) and b) doesn't have a place to live.

I know I know - this means I am doomed to another large black plastic bin bag full of stuff I can't decide about. Gah.

Take pictures! It makes it easier to throw the stuff away, if you know, you can always look at it again.

hope, your cough will be better soon!

Hope your consumption now improved, and that your new quarters prove satisfactory.

Our current bedroom now ludicrously overfilled with:
two chests of drawers (one mahogany behemoth), desk, computer, hard drive etc,all the business stationery and publicity material,three bookcases,triple wardrobe,one wedding dress in large floral box,five(count them) guitars, two PA systems, a couple of other black boxes with twiddly knobs on, two suitcases and countless Christmas presents teetering on top of wardrobe, and two children asleep in MY BED.

There is of course no solution to the 'don't know what to do with' black bin bag. On a similar note to Koenigin I did read somewhere that you should list it all, I think on the grounds that writing down 'one sandshoe, fellow missing'
shames one into recycling/chucking a bit more out.
