... WELL I SHALL BE nearly normal, fairly soon.The landlord's kindly henchman came by this morning. He mentioned there's still a problem with dirty floors. I pointed out that when you clear as much as I've cleared, clean floors are the last priority. They inevitably get scattered with residue of everything, so Cosmetic Cleaning, I'm afraid, has to wait till last.
I've thrown out ~ literally ~ at least 20 black sacks full of rubbish.
There's still a lot of tidying to do. My clothes need sorting. The 50% or more that don't even fit are due for the hospice shop. Those that are too torn or cigarette-burned to sell on get recycled, so it's all good.
Plus I have a leaning tower of pizza of paperbacks also yearning to be chucked out ~ hopefully sold on at a good £1 each. If only I could find a decent bookshop that takes in second hand books. In my area the second hand book market is a cartel operated by charity shops 
who demand all donations FREE. Charity begins at home, MY home. They're getting my clothes free of charge. For my dearly beloved books, I'm afraid, I require a little bit of HARD CASH!
Now I must ping because it's nearly midnight and I wanted to post something on Tuesday.
The real news is in my next post, due in an hour or so ~ HOT NEWS! ~ SIT TIGHT!!
Illustrated: lovely pine floor boards. No mine are nowhere near as clear or as clean as that. And won't be until I move out and some less scruffy bastard moves in!
It sound like good progress. Glad things are moving along!
ReplyDeleteI would think the landlord would be pleased at what you've managed to accomplish but then, he can't afford to come up the nice guy before you've finished the job I'm sure. Good for you. I still have boxes of books in my garage because they aren't the kind the 2nd hand bookstores want or aren't recent enough. Charities are the only places that will take them. C'est la vie.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Gledwood, I've missed you so. I'm glad to hear your clearing out all of your rubbish. Its nice to sleep in a clean room. At least I find it so.
ReplyDeleteI blogged today, and inserted a music Video that depicts how I feel most of the time. I wonder if I inserted it correctly. I hope you do stop by and give opinion...if you like or dislike.
I also wrote some rubbish. I'm on my way out of town tomorrow so I won't be able to blog, but when I get back I promise to write/blog about where I was, and what I've been up to.
Miss you dearly. I'll have my phone so I can read your comment and comment back.
I can also read your blog.
Syd: you weren't offended by my mentioning you..? In the post below? It was only this evening when I thought about it that I realized "that could be taken the wrong way"...
ReplyDeleteYep my home is lovely and clear now. Still cluttered with stuff I don't need, but most of that is going down the charity shop... LOADS of clothes especially that JUST DO NOT FIT ME!!!
Jeannie: I wish there were some decent 2nd hand bookshops near me, because I reckon most of mine are worth a good £1 each minimum and I could do with the £40! Otherwise they'll just have to go to the charity ... The hospice shop is first in the quueue ...
AnnaGrace: You know there is a function, that I haven't used, called "Blog by Email" where you can email a post to your blog. You need to set it up by giving an email address, then you should be able to post direct from your phone!
I'll miss you too. Come back soon, please {;->
No point in cleaning the floors until you've finished sorting out is there?
