I'm in maintenance now in most things and I am so grateful to everyone who has helped me and for this board. Maintenance for me means that the shared bathroom is clean and cleaned by me and likewise the hallway. I keep the floor in my bedsit and kitchen vacummed and wet wiped once a week and put the rubbish out and wash up each evening before I go to bed.
Always? No not always but almost always. Perfection is not in this world and certainly not in me.
What I am dong now is to throw out the last few things which I don't need or want and am finding it just as difficult to do as when I first started. Also I have a small ongoing problem with keeping a bit more food than I really need but I do have it all stored and use it all.
I find it hard to spend money on myself and it is one of my ongoing problems I'm dealing with in DA (Debtors Anonymous). Last week I bought new bedding and this week I need to buy some more. The old blankets I propose to give to the Salvation Army if they want them. I also need a blind in the kitchen and a few other bits.
I've had big developments in my life and I'll post about these separately in byways.

Thank you everyone. I am crying as I write this. It has been nearly twenty years since a fire destroyed a flat I lived in and most of the contents. Being a hoarder there were a lot of contents and I had to face that something was badly wrong. I wish I had found this place earlier. Finally I don't think that everything will be simple or easy from now on. I can make a mess very quickly and I still find myself keeping all sorts of bits and feeling bad when I throw them out which I do now as soon as I am aware of what I am doing.
Regards Rory
