I ...I dunno ... there are no pockets in shrouds. <br /><br />I arrived here from Canada in 1997, age 40 with 2 suitcases, one of which was filled with books. Now I have a place so full of stuff, stuff, stuff ... sigh.<br /><br />I think the next time, if ever, I move countries I will take my passport, my wallet & a book. <br /><br />Anne in CambridgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-46844030211480555192009-12-07T21:53:41.533+00:002009-12-07T21:53:41.533+00:00Or like me...clean windows once you can no longer ...Or like me...clean windows once you can no longer see out of them!!sfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17915065012000448790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-60989523889136644992009-12-07T11:22:03.492+00:002009-12-07T11:22:03.492+00:00Hi Sharon, I saw your dirty windows, ha ha, stops ...Hi Sharon, I saw your dirty windows, ha ha, stops anyone looking in. I might do mine eventually, not due for their annual clean till March though :-) Must put that down on the list as a money saving tip.

I have her photos and a few personal bits but we too thought how little she has now in the carehome. She is 87 now and basically only owns her clothes and a few personal bits. Very sad, but like you say, it is only borrowed in the long run. BTW I posted the pic of my dirty windows, inspired by your post on cleaning up and dusting. :o)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259302795139490028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-57205908785719815382009-12-06T19:22:27.097+00:002009-12-06T19:22:27.097+00:00Yep, certainly did, Cyberkim, and you're right...Yep, certainly did, Cyberkim, and you're right about the singing along, I did it myself, ha ha.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-28397015945429437942009-12-06T17:26:53.782+00:002009-12-06T17:26:53.782+00:00Did you start following "The Archers" wh...Did you start following "The Archers" when you were trucking?<br /><br />A mate of mine, who used to drive for a living, reckoned that if you were on the motorway when the signature tune came on the radio, you could see other drivers nodding their heads and singing along...

Maybe you could raise a few bob by selling some stuff in your attic, after five years you obviously can manage without it. <br /><br />I like your blog by the way, I shall be reading it from now on, we can learn from each other.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-39396256949948152009-12-06T15:32:52.350+00:002009-12-06T15:32:52.350+00:00Hi Ilona, I've not commented here before but h...Hi Ilona, I've not commented here before but have been reading for a while now :)<br /><br />This post reminded me of a few years ago - I was shocked when we cleared out my mother-in-laws house (she also moved into a care home), we managed to fit all her belongings into the boot of one car(not including furniture)! We moved house ourselves a few weeks later and I was shocked to find that we not only managed to fill a large moving truck, but also had to hire a transit van as well. The really sad thing is that now, over 5 years later, a lot of that stuff we moved is still sitting in boxes up in the loft. <br /><br />Just to add - you often say when you meet up with Ilonas, I know 2! One is a friend and the other is someone I used to work with. Such a lovely name :)brightandnewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726925837269314110noreply@blogger.com
