We're doing it at the moment. Mrs tkk lost her brother earlier in the year. No will, rooms filled with clutter, sheds (3) filled with various bits of machinery / tools / abandoned projects . A really stressful time which is still ongoing to some extent.
We're clearing out the loft and going through our house having a sort out. Downstairs loo will be converted to shower / wet room. A few more projects to make things easier in the years to come.

Not feeling brilliant.
Physically I feel tired all the time and run down. Not sure if I might have a bug.
The doc put me temporarily on beta blockers when I had my wibble a month back, and now I'm off them I feel physically very anxious again. I think its the house move freaking me out. I've got some counselling booked but it's not until November, so I may give in and let the doc put me on anti depressants for a few months.
And to really cap it all off...
When I went wibble the doctor I saw was new to me so she ordered a blood test for "full MOT" purposes. That has shown that my kidney function isn't optimum, although is within thr normal range. Unlike my liver function, which is well out of normal range. I've not turned yellow, but rhe tiredness and the pain I get in the area of the liver if I am on my feet for too long didn't impress the doctor either, so I got another blood test to do a wee wee test, and a scan of my liver in the near future. As if I haven't got enough in my plate.
I don't feel suicidal or owt, but I do sometimes wonder that if I turned out to have something nasty with me and just stopped off my perch I wouldn't be bothered. For example, if I needed a transplant or somesuch, and I know I'm getting waaayyyyy ahead of myself there, I wouldn't bother. Save it for a kid or someone more deserving and I'd accept my fate like a man.

Something I would like to do but couldn't because it would probably cause a family rift and a possible divorce

They feel that as you can only wear one pair at a time, the most you need is three pairs.

As far as "death Clearing " is concerned - stuff that - I will keep on top of stuff and not hord or anything
But when my wife moved in and we sold her old house then I had to clear out her son's old room and all the junk he had snuck up into the loft for $reasons
so when we snuff it he can have the pleasure of clearing out my junk!!!
(although it'll mostly be mi wife's - i.e. his mother's - junk that I have been trying to persuade her to send to the charity shop for about 10 years and counting!!!!!)
I can her him now "WHAT!!! another drawer full of shoes!!! - or possible handbags - both apply

The cider was a can of Magners my Brother In Law gave me, and no it wasn't spam it was an Asda unsmoked gammon joint.

Just finished dinner
Defrosted a chicken I got from the proper butcher's a few weeks ago
far more expensive than the ones I normally get from Tesco but the meat was denser and it all tasted much better!
Now - I'm sure there were a few glasses worth left in that bottle of red wine in the kitchen.........
