There's not been much going on with my UFO, since the last time I posted. I have been trying to have a clear out at home and that's slow going as well. I have so many jobs that need doing indoors and so much stuff in the way, that I decided that I would rent one of those self storage thingys and clear out all the clutter so that instead of moving everything from pillar to post and back again it would all be out of the house and then I can get all the decorating and small repairs done at once.
My original plan was to do one room at a time, but I think that if I'm getting a carpenter (for example) then it's best to get him to do all the carpenter type jobs at once, rather than in bits and pieces. As well as it being easier if as he moves from room to room I don't have to constantly be clearing the way for him.
This will be an ongoing thing for a few months over the summer and I don't have much in the way of savings and may have to wait for each pay day to roll round in order to get on to the next bit! I'm hoping though that once the initial clear out has been done I might find some time for a bit of cross stitch! Luckily my brother is offering to organise the actual works for me and do the decorating!!
Wish me luck!!

It's good to have a good clearout once in a while. Helps you to get rid of the dead wood and can be quite uplifting as well. I have a problem getting rid of anything though, and it is a real heart wrench for me to do so, but I always feel better afterwards!
Hi Sandie - Follower #1 speaking. I have a question what are you going to sit/sleep on if you clear out all your stuff?
Brothers CAN be of use, can't they? Mine used to be years ago then he must have decided that some things are beneath a deputy headmaster. Now he's not one any more I don't know what his excuse is!
love, Angie, xx
LOL Angie! I'm only clearing out boxes of stuff, not the furniture!
As for my brother...he has been a pain in the proverbial in the past, but he's semi retired now, and has lots of contacts in the building and decorating business (always good people to keep on the right side of!)
