    Cool I'm on the road to recovery (hopefully)

    I have been a hoarder all my life. Forming emotional attachments to "stuff"

    Then I read Corinne Grant's book "Lessons in Letting go, confessions of a hoarder".

    Well, today without even a second thought, I took 2 car loads of stuff...and I mean, boot chocca block, back seat chocca block and front passenger seat, and all of the floor inside the car full! of stuff to a couple of op shops. Then we took some more stuff to Cash Converters too.

    Tomorrow is an ebay day and if that stuff doesn't sell then we'll take it straight to either cash converters or an op shop...but it's not staying!

    Oh, and I can see my bedroom floor now, and our garage is starting to look better!

    Yep. Got more to do though. It would be really nice to be able to get the car into the garage.
