hi Grace, got your mail and I need to admit my sins, I am a dreadful hoarder. I did clean a lot out 10yrs ago but its funny how you seem to  shift things from one place to another and think you have cleaned them out, haha. this time I am doing it properly (i hope) and discarding a lot of things to the rubbish bin. Since Len passed away it has taught me to get rid of a lot of things because I am 74 this year and if the same thing happens to me (dementia etc) I do not want the only daughter who has been my saviour to have to clean up my mess. The only problem is I have wool everywhere, over 60 jumpers that Len and I knitted Packed away (ready for the salvation army as the boutiques are too greedy when you try to sell them)All my calligraphy papers from when I used to teach it. Barbie doll and baby born clothes that I have designed and crocheted and knitted.    (even G strings for Barbie cos the great granddaughters says that is the fashion now)Have separated a lot of the wool so it all ends up the same ply. Takes me 2hrs to divide a 100 gram ball so that 5 ply (2strands) 8ply (3strands )
12ply ( 4strands ) end up approx 3ply or less . so I can mix and match the colours. then there are my footy clowns with bodies ,heads a crocheted circles all in different containers so they can be made up in a hurry for our local fetes, I hate waste and Len never sorted his left over bits into colours, so am doing that now.The only advantage is for that sort of sorting I can sit down and do it and support my neck and shoulders as I suffer from degnerative spondolitis in the upper body ( like RSI caused through 67 yrs of this type of work.)
 when it is all sorted I intend to invite my new friends from the legacy widows club to come and take what they want to help raise money for our Legacy club and the people they help.
They are helping me fight to make the hospital admit there Lack of duty of care in the hospital as they allowed Len to fall and break his hip after only being there 2 hrs and being diagnosed as a falls patient.
I have to do this to get some closure about Lens violent death when it should have been a peaceful transition into a home near me.Their own notes are going to convince the court that there was lack of Duty of Care and I have to stop them from doing this to anybody else.
 sorry to ramble but my mind is going round in circles these days , so much to worry about if and when i feel in the mood and can stop this blasted weeping all the time. thanks for your mail and understanding.
 Florence.

oops forgot the 3000 squares that I crocheted while sitting in hospitals and drs surgery while len was sick. have to sort them out and sew them together for baby shawls and knee rugs for the homeless people,
Thank God I do not have to do much housework as I hate that, and the domicillary people have been coming once a fortnight to help me there.At least the computer copies all the grandkids dvds and music discs so I can sort stuff while that is doing some work for me. Still it is all better than doing nothing I spose.
