Wouldn't you know that the moment I decide to sell my house, about a thousand, just in this little area, get listed. In fact I am sandwiched between two of them. The one on the left is listed at 629 and the one on the right is 600. They are both lovely houses, one is quite new. But I will be listing mine for five hundred…might piss them off just a little. Oh well.
I am not sure where I left off in my life. Doing very little I imagine. Like I have said before I lead a very mundane life and I am getting really impatient to move. I think, because I am a huge procrastinator, I am going to sit down and make a timeline and stick to it. I have an awful lot of furniture and bigger stuff to sell. I would just donate it to charity but if I sell it, even for a buck, THEY have to take it away.
Some stuff I am going to drag up to the top of the driveway and put a big free sign on it. Spod bought a load of costco metal shelving on wheels. I do not want them and they are just taking up way too much space in the garage. So I think tomorrow I am going to stick them up there…someone is bound to take them. They are in mint condition.
And I think I am going to start taking pics of all the things I need to sell…cheap. Fairly new futon, floral (pretty) sofa bed, butler table, dining room chairs (6), two natuzzi leather arm chairs, endless garden tools, big new black leather office arm chair, two tall wooden book shelves, a 300 pound (maybe a little less) gorgeous cut glass fire screen, two beautiful wooden two drawer filing cabinets.
Thats for starters. If anyone here is reading this and wants any of that for free…let me know. Come and get it…I would be so happy. I can send pics. But I know that it will all go…I am going to list it all on Used Victoria for extremely cheap. Its sure a heck of a lot cheaper than hiring someone to haul it all away and pay them like five hundred bucks for the honour.
Last night (Thursday eve) Aunty Orma and Uncle Gordon and Emily and brother Stan came for dinner. I roasted up a big prime rib with all the fixings. For dessert I made a lemon pineapple trifle. Mmmm so good. Stan spent the night and this morning I fried up leftovers and made hash. Yummy! I don't know about the roast, I didn't eat any. I just can't seem to eat meat any more. Makes me pukey.
Its really interesting to spend time with a couple of (favourite) older family members. Aunty Orma and Uncle Gordon belong to the religion we grew up in and I have a thousand questions. As an adult looking back I find I am very curious about a lot of things that happened and what that religion is all about. Its very very different than any other I have ever heard of. And in the process of drilling them (poor folks) I learned a lot about my own immediate family and history. Absolutely fascinating and I want to hear more! They will be back!
I am bribing them with a leg of lamb dinner. Now that Monte isn't here and I don't eat anything but tomato soup and baloney sandwiches with the odd salad thrown in, I can afford to feed company! I have decided not to pack the company dishes and serving bowls until the day before I am leaving!
I managed to practice piano and pack more of purple room today. Slowly she goes! Off to bed now. TTYL
Your house will just sell all the faster...:-). We did the same thing when we moved...nothing says "fresh start" like purging a bunch of STUFF. That lemon pineapple trifle sounds delectable, by the way...
ReplyDeleteHow about posting the recipe for the trifle, it sounds delish! Thank you!
