Hi everyone Moving home in the UK can be very stressful as it was for us, and it had quite an impact on my physical self and I shall be talking about that in my next post (not to worry, as I’m sorting myself out) but today it’s about how
I continue to declutter and that includes pieces of furniture as well as clothes, and I will be packing my suitcase for the cruise this week. Other odds and ends will be discarded as well. I do love the challenge of a good clearout! I’m finding that as I age
An update on my pledge to not buy new, I’ve bought my one annual pair of new shoes, but they’re not Doc Martens. They’re flat and comfortable brogues with a hint of wackiness as they’re silver in colour. Not only do I not wear heels because I have weak ankles,
I haven’t always been this tidy. But a small flat makes you put away stuff quick. At this point in my life I don’t leave things lying around as there aren’t any spare rooms for things to be just dumped. Downsizing certainly makes you face up to how many possessions

I haven’t made any New Year resolutions yet, although I have some aims: to exercise and write more. I might tell you about these and other goals for 2015 in another post. But I just have to tell you about my latest charity shop buy(s)! I was feeling quite low,
I’m better now than before, but it was quite fluey (the bug we had) so I’m not going out to a New Year’s Eve party. Yes, still not quite myself, a bit post-viral and the stye is better but lingering, so don’t feel very sociable. And I haven’t hit the
