Managing a Household / Re: Thursday, May 30
« Last post by Alice on May 30, 2019, 11:11:01 AM »Yes, just purge and if asked just say "must be lost somewhere in this mess"! I'm terrible at purging because I think everything has a use but sadly I am wrong. I am learning to let go of things.
When we moved from a large home to this small home, I gave away much more than I should have. I miss some of the things I let go. I've had to re-purchase some things but others are gone forever and I can't say I miss them anymore. My daughter cleaned out her childhood belongings this week and I cringed at some of the things she was willing to give away or toss away. Things we paid good money for! But it is useless to her now and useless to me as well.
And the tow of you are correct that fixing things in the home comes with home ownership. Sometimes I wonder about that because there seems to be more repairs than there should be.
