Thanks, Jen 🫶 I wonder how many of those packs are still lurking about?! I think one reason I kept it was because it was so fancy. It felt wasteful to chuck it. So here we are, nearly 20 years later, and it’s still with me 💪🫠
Decluttering is hard. I, too, have paperwork for pensions I never bothered with... Plus paperwork for one provider I *did* bother with who refused to believe my name had changed when I married – a problem to which I just sort of went "yeah alright fine they can keep the money I can't be bothered" (should probably sort that one, actually...)
Sorry about your iffy results, really hope all is OK xo
Agree on both counts! Sentimental decluttering is awful – and, on the other side of the scale, just average life admin is soooooo tough to deal with in a different way. THE BOREDOM OF IT. THE BONE-DEEP FRUSTRATION. THE PERSON IT TURNS YOU INTO. I feel like half my life over the last four years has been dealing with interminable box-ticking generic paperwork shite. Ugh.
Thank you re. the result. Crap times, but fingers crossed.
Wow, Jo this is such a beautiful piece of writing.. you had me smiling, nodding along, laughing and then crying.. 🥺 I'm so sorry to hear about your 'iffy' test and I'm crossing everything for you.. please keep us updated. Sending love and hugs 🫂❤️x
Oh Jusmar!! I love this. ❤️❤️ I I fear I have the same Channel4 welcome pack lurking in a box somewhere too. Xx
