You can't call them pouffs any more
It's "alternative lifestyle". We had a tweed alternative lifestyle for years... I think we burnt it in the end...

Yes, BGB, I too am trapped by stuff. But I am beginning to deal with it. I need money extremely desperately and so am intending to go to Car Boot Sales. I was going to do one a few weeks ago and couldn't find one, so instead I painted a big sign saying "YARD SALE" and humped all my stuff outside. One person came. And didn't buy anything...

But I digest.

I used to be over-attached to my stuff. It was a symptom of what was wrong in my life. IT was comfort and security... except now I realised I have become imprisoned by it. My house is full of things I haven't been able to bring myself to get rid of for one reason or another, and eventually the onyl reason is because I've had them so long... which is self perpetuating.

Now my Fella has moved to Ireland, without me, and if I want to go with him I have to get rid of a mountain of stuff. It brings the point home that what's more important to me is the freedom not the stuff.
