I have got to the stage now Maureen where I am giving things away. My carved wooden animals have all been put on a list with the persons name who has picked it in remembrance for when I kick the bucket.
At least I know that they will be looked after rather than be put in a charity shop because all my animals have a story to go with them. I am not being morbid I just like to leave things tidy.
Yes I too have bought things that I have NEVER used. In fact I came across four lovely cushion covers last week that I forgot about but I wont bother using them now. The lady who takes me out can have them for her car boot sales.
As for food I have to confess that I do throw quite a bit out now. Mainly because prepacked ham or such like to make a sandwich with has too much in the pack for me.My lovely d-i-l picks up some freshly cut ham or beef for me when she calls in the shop but with beng at work that is only at the weekend but I have noticed that my tummy seems to be rejecting that just of late and I am not eating all that much now. I think I am getting old.
