So I still think life sucks, but I can either wallow (and I did on Sunday, I stayed in my PJ's ALL day. Bliss), or pull up my big girl pants and get on with.
I decided 1 day of wallowing was ok and actually healthy for me but no more. Well actually I loved being in my PJ's, a long soak in a bubble bath (whilst I still have one) and fresh PJ's. Yes please, bring on this Sunday :-)
On Monday, I finally remembered to do what I have been meaning to do since the start of the year. Our little, local Asda has a collecting basket for the local foodbank. H and I have agreed to donate 1 thing a week to the collection. So on Monday, I finally got round to adding 5 things to the basket. It did feel good thinking of someone else.
Mum's biopsy on Monday went ok. They were running late, so she didn't get home til after 10.30pm but she's feeling okay now. Indeed, we went out for a lovely lunch today.
In house news, we've agreed a lower price on our house and the sale is still on. No news on a completion date -how long do these things take????? Should I be packing yet for this unknown date? I feel my lack of packing may bite me :-)
Packing is a great time for having a sort out so I reckon you'll be giving lots of other things away as well as making these very kind food donations!

At some point my hoarding tendencies will kick in, so am trying to control it. I will pack at some point. How long can it take to pack up a 4 storey home????? Gulp.
DeleteGlad to hear that things are going as well as they can do. I would start sorting, but not necessarily packing. If you have sorted everything packing will be easier and will be easy when the date actually comes! xx
ReplyDeleteI think I need a kick up the bum to get started Amy!
DeleteI've just been catching up on all your news, goodness me, what a time you're having of it at the moment. I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, that must have been such a shock for all the family. Wishing her all the very best and sending you both hugs xx. I hope you've got some news about a moving date by now, it does seem to be taking some time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Things are not so great and no, no moving date!!!! Our buyers are nagging their solicitors and we are trying desperately to nag ours to try and move by the end of the month. Not sure how realistically this is, but we'll see. Packing finally started.
