Decisive action needed.

Note to readers (my lovely Baggees): For the avoidance of any doubt - every character in this blog is me!!! No Baggy was harmed in its writing.

Baggy's daily state!
Depression (Black = really bad/Grey = not great/Blue = okay/Yellow = sunny day): Black.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 5.
Tears: No.
Pancakes (Yes/No): resistance is futile.
Syns (Baggy is allowed 8-15): See above!
Weight in her terrifying naked state (Stones and pounds): WaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!
Overall day:   😵

Yet another trip to the holiday cottage today. There is always something to do there, or at least that's how it feels to Freda Fretter. Pots for Gloria Gardener to water. Painting for The Domestic Goddess to do: the new cabinet that Calum made, to cover the new electricity fuse box thingy; the little wooden "stop" that Calum made, to stop the sixteenth-century door-fitting from putting a hole in the wattle-and-daub wall; the doorframe of the spare bedroom, that the men delivering the beds had bashed; the bottom of the bottom stair where the carpet has been removed; and the wooden panel that hides wires at the top of the staircase door that the electrician had bashed. Then painted them again with a second coat. The Goddess also had to wash the bathroom floor, where the toilet mat and the shower mat, had decided to stick to the floor! Perished! Perishing things! Freda Fretter had to recover the BBQ, table and chairs and firebox and chairs, with the covers, that had blown off! The Goddess and Calum had to clear all the remaining "c**p" out of the garden: two bikes; bags of coke; plant pots; metal bits; metal melting pots; shaving forks; and some other bits. Poor Calum was so unable to breathe that Baggy ended up doing most of it! Then Calum rescued a lot of his tools from the shed and Baggy carried them all to Dodgy-truck.

Spare bathmats bought. A frame for the fire evacuation certificate bought. A replacement bulb for the spare bedroom NOT bought, because the shop had every variation on a theme of bulbs, apart from the one required. The cottage is now 99.7% ready for holiday makers. Just as well, as there could be a last-minute booking for this Friday! Fancy a look? Blossom Cottage, Assington, Suffolk (East of England) at www.holidaycottages.co.uk.

Meanwhile Clever Bird left a message for her (useless) solicitor at 9.20am this morning. Did she call back baggees? What do you think? Correct - no she did not!

Home again this evening, Hormonal Hannah appreciated just how uncluttered the holiday cottage now is! And how relaxed that makes her feel. Now realistically, Clever Bird knows that no home will ever be like a holiday cottage because it's full of the things of life. However, Baggy and the furries' home is OVER full of the things of life. It's so full that even in this bigger house, it is well and truly cluttered. Time for a big declutter. Time for Creative Clara to sell at an auction instead of buying. Time to reduce the collections that Clara has built up over the years. Time to get rid of jewellery that she never wears. Some she'll put in her Etsy shop Realuv, some she'll stick in an auction. But one way or another she needs to make Hormonal Hannah "let go" of some of the clutter in her life. This is way easier said than done for Hannah! She cannot let things go - even rubbish - but at least if she can get some money for some of the things that she's enjoyed for years, but now no longer really appreciates, that can only be a win win situation..........
