Sort it out

 Back in 2013 hubby built our 'walk in wardrobes' I had finished working and reduced my clothing by loads, still I kept more, just in case. Now hubby is decorating the bedroom, he started in our wardrobe, so we took all our stuff out, it looks alot, because there are loads of clothes there, some not worn for years.

Much nicer, and loads gone, the issue I have is, most of what I have thinned out are clothes which still fit me, all are great quality, but I don't wear them. It does look good having so much space, at the back I have my dressmaking fabrics and other dressmaking bits, it's the only place I can store them.

I have not been doing much gardening, I'm at the stage where the garden is doing it's own thing, no dead heading to be done, the spring bulb leaves are still green, loads of plants growing for the second year. 

I have a clean house on the ground floor, the mound of clothes on our bed whilst hubby painted our huge wardrobe, made me very unsettled, I have never loved untidy rooms, I was amazed how much stuff we had in such a small space, it has always looked tidy, everything in it's place. At the start it was daunting, I decided to put back everything I wear first, which reduced the pile by loads, I also packed the stuff to be passed on in bags, and left them for a few days, it felt easier that way. I have never had an issue with getting rid of stuff we don't use, my clothes was different, so many items I still could wear.   

We are sleeping in our spare bedroom downstairs for a couple of days, we have a small double bed, which is snug, our bed is a kingsize, when sleeping in the spare room I always leave the door open, it's a much smaller room, Lilly was very good, she popped in to check we were OK and then went back to her own bed. The decorating in our room should be finished on Thursday, we then have to wait for the delivery of a new carpet. 

Thank you for your kind comments on my last post, family is everything to me, both daughter and hubby agree we will never do anything to make Grandma and Grandpa unhappy, we unite as a family together. Having gone through a divorce with young children with a very supportive mum, I intend to do all I can for our daughter and her three, if a dad does not want to be present and engaging with the family unit, I believe they can be happy without him.
