Success is getting what you want; happiness is liking what you get

Down Memory lane

The never ending clean out is taking still taking place.  My goodness, we didn’t realise that we had things tucked here and there, in cupboards and drawers, and it all needs to be checked out.  Then comes the decision, shall we keep it or chuck it out?

Robin has been going down memory lane today when he was going through some old papers pertaining to the house.  He was amazed to see what the house cost to build way back then.  But of course everything is relevant and wages were so much lower back in the 70s.  He found the receipt for when the carpet was laid, and for various items of furniture.  Was it all really that long ago? 
 
A file of his 30 year working  history at NZ  Post brought back memories too, and kept him quietly flicking over pages,  remembering long forgotten courses he had attended, and long forgotten workmates.  In the end he got ruthless, most old papers were shredded and discarded, with just a few needing to be kept.
So that’s another job done – wonder what’s next on the agenda? 

We are having another “Open Home” tomorrow, so we are going out for the day and leaving the Real Estate agent to do her own thing.  All we need is one interested  buyer – then we can go forward with our plans.
