2 binliners full of rubbish....thats whats just come out of 3 kitchen cabinets
I have been clearing out ready for the move - (yes, I'm trying to stay positive) and its amazing what rubbish I have kept. Slow cookers, food choppers, utensils galore, mugs - about 30,000 of them (ok, slight exaggeration there), and about 15 screwdrivers! Cookery books galore - just torn out any pages I like and threw the book, I freed up a whole cupboard doing that

, they are off the recycling so I dont feel bad.
I still have 6 cupboards to go, but I'm stopping now cos the suns come out
Also - Slight improvement on mother situation!

- she came to the door today and asked if I needed anything from the shops!!!!!!!!! - not an enormous gesture I grant you, but she hasnt done that since we told her we were moving.

- could the old crow be softening at last?
She fetched the bread I asked for then dropped it in my porch when I didnt hear the bell, then rang me to tell me it was there

- she hasnt called me in weeks about from to ask how Ellis is and if she can see him.
I dont want to tempt fate but I think she might have seen a bit of sense at last
Bye for now - I'm off to turn myself into a lobster in the garden (attractive eh!)
