HOARDING

I love my mum, but she is a hoarder. She will tell me ' I will us it someday!' but I think if you have not used it within the last year or two then get rid of it. I am not saying throw everything out, for example, good dinner sets or vases. Today, I spent the morning cleaning out her shed and garden area. I have managed to get rid of at least 4 garbage bags of rubbish. I am trying to recycle or reuse as much as I can. It felt really good. I know mum works very hard and is getting older so I think in a way she does not mind. I have set myself a goal to have the backyard area to be cleaned by Thursday. I have been inspired by the old ratty coach outside and so will try and make a nice cover and colourful cushions to redo it a bit. I must admit it is a bit selfish, as I want to use it to read books outside. I will show you the photos when I get it done.
