Struggling onwards.

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): Blue.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 4.
Tears: Yep.
Overall day(s): 😑

Baggy has a new gang member baggees, just call her Vanishing Vera. Freda Fretter apologises that Creative Clara is not managing to make daily appearances at the moment, but between Hormonal Hannah's current struggles, and Clever Bird's insistence that Baggy therefore be kept as busy as is possible, blogging has been taking a bit of a lower priority in her days. So what has been up with Hannah? Well apart from the money worries and the legal worries, her anxiety levels have been just below panic attack level for days. Action has been needed. And it has been taken. Furry Mama has been walking the Minty Mutt's little legs off. They have both appreciated the fresh air. The Domestic Goddess didn't entirely appreciate Mint's need to paddle though! The pong!


She has however been on a roll. Keeping busy equals not constantly fretting. Plus, Hannah needs a peaceful environment, not an anxious-inducing messy one. Remember the annexe?





Bearing in mind that this was after four days clearing - another two days got the "snug" so that Baggy could cross the floor without breaking a toe, or her neck. A hunt in the garage produced various pots of paint: ivory and blue courtesy of Baggy's sister and yellow left by Baggy's dad. So on Sunday and Monday Calum and The Goddess started to paint.




It took two days, but Baggy loves the new improved snug.







Okay, minimalist it isn't! Clever Bird realises that by most people's definitions it's still madly cluttered, but it wouldn't be Baggy and Calum's home if it wasn't a little "different". The Domestic Goddess just needs to paint the coving and the ceiling and the first room of the house will be finished. Baggy's sister is coming to stay for five days from Thursday, so The Goddess is on a mission to clean! Even the "back" room is kind-of, almost getting there. Ish.


Well, it's never going to be clear!

Meanwhile today Clever Bird has sold Baggy's car to a local garage. Yep, she could have got a lot more for it selling it privately, but this way, the money will be in her account tomorrow and she will be able to pay the solicitors' bills for Gloria Gardener's land purchases. One less worry. Plus she'll get eleven month's tax and insurance money back. Bonus. Billy Bob Jalopy has been to the VW hospital and got his MOT, so he will be Baggy's "car" - much more her style anyway.............
