Well this is embarrassing!

When I had my loft insulated at the end of last year, it needed to be emptied. It was - all into my 2 spare rooms.  Now I have to admit at this point, that I have a huge problem with throwing stuff out. Not because I am emotionally attached to any of it, but because I have a guilt complex about landfill.  But really the time has come - don't you think???

I don't understand though -  why, when you decide to tidy up and clear out - all you seem to do is make more mess? - I could get in the rooms yesterday morning - today they are declared health and safety hazards! - You need a hard hat to enter.  it turns out I haven't really thrown any clothes out for around 15 years (some of those things I am never going to get into again!) and I have an abundance of old computer cables. As well as obvious yarn stash and other crafting type equipement, accessories and notions.  I have now reached a point of stalemate as I've run out of bin bags, and having continue to make "throw away" and "for the charity shop" piles of stuff, it took me some while to negotiate a way out of the rooms!  Still I know when I get rid of it all, and get some shelving and other storage type furniture that it will all be better for it. At the moment though it feels like a bit of a disaster!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. xx

Hope everyone had a wonderful day. Mine was filled with much merriment (and food!)  Today Spot and I are going for a lovely long walk along the river to work the Christmas lunch off a bit!

Gosh a month has gone by

Time is moving just a bit too quickly for me at the moment - I'm about 2 weeks behind myself. Christmas is looming, and there's still lots of knitting to be done. Britain has been in the grip of a large amount of snow for the past week, and the VAT was due (!!)

So, blogging has and will continue to take a back seat for a while. I haven't even been round and read any for a while. But they're all saved in my google reader, so they'll be there when I have a chance.

Hope all your Christmas preparations are going well and no one is too cold!
