Hi Shelli, A clear out can't help with a feeling of gloom but morning mist on a meadow,frost on a spiders web,a beautiful sunset,the secret smile on your daughters face as she sleeps.......they can! Cheer up....OR ELSE !!!! Dave x

Good for you Pink, what an achievement ! Lets hope you find the right one in 2007. Shelli, I hoarded the kids things and decided to buy a big see-through crate with a lid for each of them and put selected toys, clothes, shoes, school books, cards etc relating to each of them in.They then got to choose a few personal things they wanted and we got rid of everything else. This way they have all their bits from baby-hood onwards and they know exactly where they are (stored in the loft with their names on) When they are ready to leave home permanently they will have their crate of memories to take with them.

Dave 'catharsis' noun - relief of strong suppressed emotions......... Or in my words - cleansing :O))

Dave glad you asked LOL so do you really think a good clear out may help shake this feeling of gloom thats hanging over me???

Well Done,Letting go is the hardest thing in the world but until you do you have 'no life'--now you are on the road to recovery and life you will find just gets better and better--I know--Good Luck Diana x P.S. Whats cathartic?

Yes i wanted her to know despite all the problems since, she was wanted etc.......but she don't really need her baby clothes does she? and yes i do still have them, despite the fact she's 14. In fact have bags and bags of kids clothes.... just can't seem to get rid of them..... so well done you for parting with your stuff.......... onwards and upwards xxxxxx

D - I was just about to say you should find it cathartic .... I kept stuff from my longest relationship for 12 years in total (that includes the years we were together) - but I just wasn't moving on. ((((HUGS)))) to ya hun xxxx

It was the most painful thing I've done Shelli, so not recommending it..... just hoping its cathartic and yeah your daughter does deserve to have her history! xx

if you feeling good wanna come and do mine.. i still have everything from my first wedding :( even the stupid merainge (sp? dress i wore...... however i did get something wonderful fromthat marriage so have kept it all for her..... but am SUCH a horder i really need a life laundry round here :((((

I just removed things from my home that shouldn't be here.... as you all know I got divorced last year and I have just thrown out all my engagement and wedding cards from my memories box.... I have kept a couple of pictures from the wedding, but that's it!! I decided to stop letting the past affect my future.... So hopefully, I have paved the way for that someone special (whenever he chooses to arrive) who really deserves to be in my heart and let go of the one who doesn't! Here's to the pain stopping for all of us in 2007!
