and it ...

... starts again. What starts again? Packing up at Dad's. This time it's the stuff of Mum's - and some - that should have gone last year but didn't. Couldn't stand to see brand new stuff (still with price tags on) and unworn shoes going to the Dogs Trust. It was bad enough seeing 'nearly new' going but to see brand new, unworn go was just too much. Anyway, despite best intentions of doing some eBay selling it hasn't happened so it will all have to go. Unfortunately none of it will fit anyone in the family. There's around a dozen sweaters that would do a turn for whoever they'd fit - just nobody in family. There's M&S Footgloves and more but all too big (she had long feet - lol!). There's the kitchen stuff that will no longer be used and then there's other bits I thought might do well on eBay ........ old phones and the like. Reckon she must have kept every phone they'd ever had - LOL! It's all now going. Nearly a year on and it is feeling better about getting rid but mainly it's because of Dad. If he does end up in residential care - and there's no reason to suppose now, that he won't - then it has to go anyway and, as he doesn't need any of it, there's no point in keeping. Already, this week, I've packed up a large boot load and it's gone. Large boot load 'cos it all went in brother's boot - and he's got a big car - when he visited yesterday and he took it to drop off on his way home. Would have filled my little Peugeot's boot and the back seat! The only real problem I've got is what to do with the electrical stuff 'cos Dogs Trust won't take it .....

Yep, brother is still alive and it only took him 2 months to contact me from the last time we met! Things are improving - a visit just 2 months after the last meeting is a great improvement - according to Dad - LOL!! Actually, he's not wrong and his other comment? Guess it's better than nothing!

Thanks for dropping by .....
