Hi everyone, it's been almost 2 years since I've been here! It's been a crazy couple of years but things are looking up in some areas and I'm getting the itch to restart my organization. I've been pretty burnt out this last year from filling two dumpsters full of junk that my exh kindly left me (I did this in 2010). Many trips to the scrapyard...... I'm still not done - but thanks to a wonderful new man in my life I have my spare car in the garage for the first time in 10 years (though I need to make sure the mice aren't happy about this as well). I'm looking forward to doing some painting, moving my bedroom to a new room and maybe even organizing my attic since I cleaned most of it last winter.

It feels good to be back. smile

Diane

Hi Diane - welcome back. Sounds like you have been busy with getting things tossed.

Hope 2012 is as productive and better for you! You are doing a great job!

hi Diane, good to see you back. We loan our SUV [engine, trunk & interior] with sheets of dryer type Bounce sheets at suggestion of the dealership to keep vermin out while in storage. Our vehicles are parked for 6-8 months while we work out-of-country contracts.

Thanks to both of you! Cyd, I actually bought Bounce years ago but never put it in the car (it's been in the driveway all this time). It's FULL of moth ball containers though. I'll put some Bounce in there too..... I've seen some mouse droppings on the roof of the cover so I know they are in the garage. Luckily it hasn't been too cold yet.

Halebop, I don't want to say it can't be any worse but wow, not sure it could lol

I tossed 2 full dumpsters plus many full trash pails plus the first trip to the scrapyard alone was 2500 lbs - and there have been many others since. I do love the scrapyard though, they get my trash and I get $$$ smile I actually tossed stuff before I found that out!

Now all that said I'm still not done <sigh>
