Bienvenue from a Parisian who is planning to move to London sometime in the future :)

I agree. I don't know what's going on in this thread but I don't like it. It smells like bullying/trolling and I don't agree with that sort of thing.

Awakenedsoul, life is short. And life can be a b*tch. If an unexpected present comes your way, why not enjoy it? It may not last, but nothing lasts forever. You may have been in abusive relationships...

I agree with those of you who would rather donate rather than go through the hassle of selling. When I am decluttering, I am not just gaining more space, but more free time and peace of mind.

This made me laugh so loudly my cats were startled :)

200 books and a few DVDs are sitting in boxes waiting to be collected by a charity. I still have lots of books and papers to get rid of and it's taking me ages.

A quick comment about dating younger men, I have found it to be very common but the difference with the older man/younger woman situation is that people don't brag about it, therefore we...

I have tried acunpcture a dozen times in my life (with different practitioners) and I was disappointed each time. I would only try again if I had an ailment that did not respond to anything else.

I have been following the Babayaga saga for many years now. Therese Clerc is a fascinating woman with a very 1960's feminist way of thinking. I do not know her personally, but know people who know...

Thanks for the encouragement :)
I am still finding things to donate, they know me well now at the charity shop (half of their stock used to be mine: it's weird to see your stuff in a shop and even...

Today, another couple of trips to my local charity shop, donated about 30 items (6pairs of shoes, a dozen t-shirts, books, boxes, 4 hats, a dozen bags,...). Also donated a hoover and a wooden...

Welcome, it's great to have another European aboard !

Today, the charity shop nearest to my place re-opened : I walked there three times, each time loaded like a donkey (I don't have a car, so have to walk there). I looked like a bag lady but I did get...

I must have decluttered more than 200 items this month... Today, I got rid of empty flower pots which were pn my balcony (about a dozen) and cleaned it with my steam cleaner (Enough pigeon droppings...

For some reason, watching The Jeffersons comforted me when feeling down.

In any case, I think it's always wise to have no debt and to own the place you live in.

In France, it's quite popular (despite Jeanne Calment's example ;) because you are not free to leave your possessions to who want after you die. For instance, if you are single with no children when...

Hello Mermaid, I am also a psychotherapist by the way :)!

Not sure my example would be relevant to you, but I chose to pay off my mortgage when I got severance payment after leaving my old job....

Ooh you are so lucky Spartana, my library only has fiction film dvds. A lot of French people think it's weird to do fitness videos anyway, so they are very uncommon here.

Welcome, it's great to have another European aboard :)

I am very interested in this video, what's it called ?

I put aside 7 pairs of shoes, 5 t-shirts, two towels, 4 comforters to give away to my local charity shop.

I also buy my appliances after reading the consumer reports and sometimes online reviews. I have mostly Miele, Bosch and Lieberh (sp?).
