Hoarder's Helping Hoarders!: Today is 29 February 2012!

Hi Guys,

Really don't have much to report other than wanting to post today due to the 'special' date!

29 February 2012

Wont be able to do this again for another 4 whole years till 2016! Then, if we really want a great date what about 2020!!! OK getting ahead of myself here... maybe I should just concentrate on getting rid of the stuff before 2020. Or better still 2016! I hope to be 'done' well before then.

I haven't had much time to do much of anything really as my boss who hired me left or who knows what from the company I work for prior to Christmas under a cloud of secrecy. Since the conference in mid January it appear we have gone from a 'team' to 'individual' performances and guess who is in the firing line. Yep, little ol' me. Being that the Howard government made it possible for employers to 'get rid of' or 'cull' at will prior to 12 months employment for staff under 100 without cause and 6 months for over means I do not have a leg to stand on and have been head down, bum up and trying to stay under the radar. Looks like I may have failed as one of the big wigs is coming down 'to chat'! Now that certainly doesn't make my heart beat any better.

So my plans may be gesumped before I can complete what I have set out to do and that is combine all debts into one low home mortgage and finalise my Mum's Will prior to the set date of 28 October 2013. If I don't, then I will have to sell this place regardless and will have no choice in the matter. I was hoping, just once, for things to go my way, but the economy, local and global has other ideas in store for me by the look of things.

So, my Mum's wishes for me to have some 'stress free time' hasn't really happened.

Have gone through papers and all the stuff that I dumped in the lounge room when the mattress came and have gotten half way through, but that has come to a complete halt now until I know where I stand with this job bizo and trying to get a low mortgage before the possibility of loosing it happens. After which time I can then concentrate on looking for another job or convince the current bosses to cut my days till things improve instead of letting me go.

The garden is looking like crap and have started to get cards in the now falling apart letterbox for tree loppers etc and have no spare cash to do such until I know what will be the ultimate outcome with my 'very' precarious job.

When I feel stressed like this, I tend not to be able to cull as well as I normally do. You go into this mindset of what if I need this one day and if I throw it out or give it away and then I need one again, what then! Better not, so as 'NOT' to waste what precious little money I have. You start to save things for that 'rainy' day. That time when you 'may' need it.

This uncertainty certainly 'DOES NOT' help me at 'ALL'.

Wish me luck guys in getting the 'low' mortgage through first before getting the heave-ho. Or just keeping my job and getting the mortgage.

Life has to be simpler than all this palava.

Might just go curl up and watch sad movies and cry.

No, must try to get through this hurdle as well. Let's see where the wind takes me this time. Hope it ends up better than what I am currently anticipating.

Now if anyone needs anything I am selling heaps of things. All you have to do is request. You can find me at anita.sulcs@gmail.com or Facebook. Well, worth a try, isn't it? Have nothing to lose. Oh, yes, the job. Let's try and keep the job at all costs.

Maybe, I can say this to my boss on Monday....
