This is about me finding myself and the story of how I have changed my life, become self employed and how I developed the products which are now my livelihood. Its the story of all the trials and problems and wonders of life that happen. I cannot even think what it would be like to return to the me of 2008 now and altho I am very poor really financially I am so very much happier and quality of life is so much better. And I am closer to being free than ever before in my adult life.

damp patches
Have some new problems with the house which is growing mould. Its only in the corner of one room but pretty bad. I bleached it all off last thursday and its already growing again. I cant understand it. We also get black mould from condensation but this is different. Its actually fur like. Nasty. I need to bleach it all again and try to kill it. It grows in the corner of our front bedroom. Currently we are sleeping in the back since the intention when we moved in was to do up the front and move in but we havent afforded it yet. Maybe its time we just moved in. Its full of stuff now anyway. I am inheriting loads of furniture from my Gran now too. One item is a pink(!!!) woven 1930s chest which will be a great replacement for the rubbish chest of drawers I bought to keep the spare sheets etc in. The real problem in this house is we have no airing cupboard and I am used to having a huge one the size of a double wardrobe. I really need to sort out where to store everything instead of just leaving in a pile on top of this broken chest of drawers- from Ikea but the cheapest they did and not worth the money. Or maybe it would be for a guest room or somewhere where there wasnt so much stuff in the drawer the bottom keeps falling out! Anyway that was a bad buy. Might be worth freecycling if someone can be bothered to fix it. Its less than a year old. Anyway hopefully when I get the sheet storage sorted there will be space to redecorate and sort out the damp patch. Most of the house has air vents but that room doesnt so maybe we need to put one in. Course \I thne have to find the time to actually do the decorating. We have picture rails but there are bits missing so we either need to replace with new or remove. Above the picture rails is the most awfully done artex you ever saw. I have been considering trying this smoothtex stuff to cover this over. my dad used it successfully so maybe it would do the job. Then shove some textured wallpaper over and paint it. Dont particularly like textured wall paper but the alternative with teh uneven walls is to lining paper the whole house and having justy put 2 layers of lining paper and then wallpaper on top of just the chimney breast I dont think I can handle doing that with the entire house. After all we dont even spend much time in the bedroom. Decorating is such hassle.
