what i would like..

would be to extract a few boxes of stuff from the house, then just walk away..

yup i have a major case of apathy & hopelessness..

it's not so much the deciding what to keep & what to get rid of that is the hard part (actually it's very easy!) it's actually getting stuff out of the house that i'm really struggling with, and also not being able to get rid of some stuff i hate ie- furniture because we can't replace it at the moment..

like on the recent tv show "the big stuff" they would tell the participants to toss anything that didn't 'fit the vision' of what they wanted their house/life to look like.. well that's all very well & good if a tv show if buying you new furniture & storage solutions for africa! But here in the real world we have to put up with a mish-mash of inefficient, unsuitable & asthetically displeasing items indefinately..

and again, it's a lot easier if you have a handful of free skips & recycling bins provided & dealt with afterwards for you too.. but instead we have flimsy rubbish bags, expensive dump fees, rare-as-hens-teeth (and possibly on the cutting board altogether!!) inorganic rubbish collections, and a sallies shop that never seems to be open! and don't get me started on 'buyer must pick up' auctions on trade me...

*sigh*

sorely tempted to set fire to the house, but a) it's under-insured, and b) the people in the adjoining house probably wouldn't thank us! (even though they have gutted their place twice in the past 4 years! ;-) )
