Downsizing

This is a funny one from Martha.  It shows Santa and Mrs Clause on a sled with 8 tiny reindeer pulling it.  Santa explained that he needed to downsize.

I heard that some parts of Europe have negative interest rates at the banks, what are people to do with their money I wonder. It would be better to keep it themselves!

Charity Recycling

I was pleased we recently gathered quite a few bags of items (from around the house) for donation to the Children's Wish recycling charity. They must throw at least half of the stuff away, but hopefully will be able to use the other half.  We also do this for Cerebral Palsy, it just depends who calls at the right time.  The other bonus is that feeling of de-cluttering and they provide pickup from your house.

Friends of ours are downsizing to a condo from a house. They are trying to do this in a short period of time as they have already bought the condo and need to sell their house. I think I would need more than a few months to do this kind of thing, so stressful! We really have to be careful how much we accumulate over the years, especially as we get older.
