I'd be tempted to just pitch it all.<br /><br />I'm curious, though. Is Major Dragon even involved in this effort? I read your posts and worry that you battle this alone and invariably setting yourself up to be the bad guy when that is certainly not the case. Not many of us would care enough to even deal with it.<br /><br />I hope that you're practicing good boundaries. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822615074146180167.post-81634523071514627272013-05-04T21:44:49.603+01:002013-05-04T21:44:49.603+01:00Often!

So we have been making actual genuine progress - slowly but actual progress. Two years ago when trying to shift the junk I did actually have that *throwing bits of metal* paddy. Ended up poking a hole in my stereo system which was, you know, actually used and useful. It is still extemely slow going but at least there is some forward momentum. (fingers crossed we don't end up for more than six months with one house and one hovel to our names). <br /><br />Today however we did have the setback when we discovered a giant cupboard in the yard right at the back and inside the cupboard my grandmother (also a hoarder, it runs in all of us) had filled with stuff and then put an old carpet and several other random things in the way to bloack off. Said stuff included: the cage I had for my hamster when I was thirteen, a pair of wellingtons, more empty boxes, now ruined and filthy, and several extention cables... *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822615074146180167.post-19699527161397502262013-05-03T23:05:26.312+01:002013-05-03T23:05:26.312+01:00It is like junk surfing.
