It's been a while.......

Where does the time go?
I can't believe it has been so long without me blogging. So many things  have changed for me in the last few weeks.
I have decided to move house after 18 years in this house. I'm down sizing from a three bedroom house, to a two bed flat. Ground floor with front and back gardens which are smaller but will be so much easier to cope with. I have often thought about going smaller but the thought of all the upheavel has put me off. Well this time it really is a no brainer.
Financially I am struggling and have been for the last six months. I've been working two jobs and when the one dried up...it was in constriction and with the financial climate is at the moment....no work. I am used to being laid off and as I still had my other small job and  with a little savings I thought I could ride it out.
There is nothing I don't know about economising, so I tightened my belt and dug myself in.
I would have been okay as I got wind of another job. The distance is further but it is a job, so 4 weeks ago I started work again. But with the bills getting larger, I had to do something and bite the bullet.
 My daughter decided to broaden her horizons and with her partner they are moving to a house, so I'm having her flat. It's half the size of my house so hopefully half the bills. It's slightly nearer to my new job and I really need a change so why not?!
The hard part is the thought of all the condensing I have to do. I have been making piles of' 'keep, throw, and car boot'.As a self confessed hoarder, ( I hate to throw things away that may be of use to either me or someone else) I am finding it difficult to let go. I know I have to, as I really can't take it with me...no room.
Not only have I the move to contend with. I am also having new windows fitted tomorrow...argh...the mess!
Not to mention my holiday in two weeks time.  Then there is my allotment. You turn your back for  a week or two and the weeds take over! All this 'stuff' swirling in my head! How will I cope????
I think i have to take a little bit at a time and try to draw up some kind of plan, instead of running from one room to the next., doing a bit here and  messing about there. Yes, thats what I will do. I will make a 'plan'.
I will be right back with my plan.........unless I get waylaid :/
