The Past Month Part Three
(Yes there are a few more of these babies!!)
More panicky happenings, then came the ?oh my god I am so bored I actually don?t want to do anything? phase, so I sat about in my jamas watching the telly which was back, I watched it all, re runs of the OC on late at night, the ever brilliant Home and Away, yes I love it and am not ashamed to admit it, Neighbours, Oprah, Rachel Ray (I hate her and her stupid stupid EVOO bollocks sayings), re runs of Friends, everything and anything that was on and also sat with my laptop on front of me and my mobile beside me at all times waiting for something to happen, and eventually last Thursday after I had a bit of a meltdown a la Babs, an agency called and I have now started temping for a company that I keep calling by the wrong name, I have no idea what the company do, but currently I am Dictaphone typing and doing database stuff and answering calls and invoicing people, I have learned so much about Excel in the last day, I am impressed with myself a lot, its fairly inane but a lot better than sitting in my own house alone and bored or sitting in my parents house annoying them or sitting in Becca?s house crying to her and wanting Isobel to play when all she really wants to do is climb on me and drool, so cute!! I had a nice time when I was off and got to spend time with the family and sleep lots and do things that I had been putting off like cleaning my turtle tank twice, washing all of my clothes, ironing everything and tidying things, a lot done, more to do though unfortunately.
Sometimes I wish I didn?t have such a penchant for collecting crap, I have a wall in my bedroom which I call ?The Wall? (how appropriate) which has loads of bits of crap that I have collected over the years stuck to it with blue tack, newspaper clippings, those free postcards you get in cafes and pubs, labels off clothes, concert tickets, bits of crap that people gave to me that I can't remember who gave me what or who the people are and lots of other non descriptive things, I never even look at it, but other people do, its my tribute to my teenage years I think, but its all just crap. I was in my friends house the other day and I was just looking around and they have no stuff, like ZERO stuff, no bits of crap, no trinkets, no pictures, no clutter, no mismatched stuff, no millions of trashy mags all over the floor, no old newspapers, no millions of products scattered haphazardly all over the place, no dirty dishes, I am convinced they rent an industrial unit for all of their crappy crap that they cannot throw away just so they can appear to be be clutter free, I am surprised I never noticed it before, but it inspired me to get rid of the crap. I keep things to remind me of things that happened, but a lot of it doesn?t remind me of anything at all, so this weekend I am dedicating my Sunday to sorting out the crap, I am getting bin bags, a vacuum cleaner, dusters, cleaning products, and an old pair of track suit bottoms to wear and I am tackling the shite, I am looking forward to it really, I am changing into a person who does throw the crap out?booyakashaaaaaa!!

You can't throw the crap out! You have to hoard it, secretly waiting for the day when you can put it all back up again.
If you throw it out you're clearly not a real Verso.

Not the good crap, just the really crap crap that I have nbo idea why I kept, I am too lazy to be throwing things out at the correct time, so I keep it, and it's just silly, I am going through it all, it's taking me a lot longer than I thought it would, oops!

Update: I have filled three large bin bags with stuff to throw out, and there is anohter on the way. So far I have thrown out things that I kept for reasons that I cannot remember, bus tickets, leaflets, things that I know I kept for a reason at the time, but I can't remember the reason now and so there is no point keeping, I have found a lot of dust, and a lot of hair, yum, and a lot of crap. I feel amazing right now, that all of the stuff is gone, I think I will be up late tonight and then on Sunday I will scrub everything I am keeping clean. Phew!
