Still purging ...

[percival]

So, I've decided to get rid of all my pregnancy-related books. I'm only keeping two books on infertility. I find that it is easier for me to live without hope of a natural child than to keep pursuing my dream. For one, it's doing me a whole load of good healthwise. Thanks to the homoeopathy and to the Shiatsu, I'm now finally bent on GETTING HEALTHY. Without thinking of the implications on conception. I actually find myself drawn to healthy food. I want that shot of fruit and veg!

As for getting rid of my extra clothes - of which there are quite a few - I welcome suggestions of deserving charities. I don't have time to research the charity market as much as I'd like to, and the default is Oxfam, because they have specialised used book stores.

Oxfam is a fine charity. Here in the USA we have the Salvation Army which takes used clothing, and also Parent's Anonymous which has a resale center for donated clothing. Proceeds go to prevent child abuse.

Yay on getting healthy! Do you have a bread machine yet? :-)

No room on the counter in the new house and I'm not even cooking anymore here (want to minimize washing up and the assorted stress.) I just get veg-heavy sandwiches and heavily veggie ready made meals. Next step will be carrot & celery snacks

Heh. You could park the bread machine on the floor or a printer stand. :-D I love mine And supposedly the #1 user of bread machines are men - they like the fact that you can just dump stuff in, turn it on and it works.

The veggie meals sound good. During the work-week I'm too busy to do much cooking. I make a loaf of bread and then do sandwiches, plus I alway take an apple and orange to work. On the weekend I make soups or stews which will do for dinner or lunch for several days. It seems to work out pretty well. Have fun with your new place, it's so exciting!
