@Jynx !!!!!!

(This will be really awkward if you're not actually online now)

[Jynx]

@avant-garde!!

Things are only awkward if we make em awkward!! I could try to make it awkward if you like 😝

Haha what's happening hun? Surviving the heat ok?

@Jynx 

Conversation isn't hard with you, well not as hard. 

I'm having a meandering day, slowly getting things done and feeling like "oh hey I got stuff done today"

Like cleaning the mouldy clearance fruit and veg out of the fridge as the rubbish gets picked up tomorrow 

How are you going?

[Jynx]

@avant-garde aww bless, ya cutie!! Always lovely to get a chance to chat my dear, especially with how many smiles you get sneakin across my face 😋 

Ahhh love a meandering day!! Yeah I'm in a big cleaning phase as well, got house inspection coming up. I really gotta do my freezer it's actually gotten gross too lol 😩

Hardest part is tryna de-clutter everything!! You doing a big cull for the hard rubbish?

Nothing too big, that's the storage unit. 

I hate that people think that I'm a hoarder, when I'm actually not, I don't buy things for me, I buy things for others, most of what I buy is for other people, it's just me getting around to giving it to them...

It's actually not that hard to get rid of...

We get monthly inspections here but they are hopeless at telling us, I mean they've technically broken into my unit 3 times because they've neglected to tell me about the inspections. 

Legally, even for lodgers, 1 week written notice for inspections

Ach that's rough @avant-garde I feel like hoarding unfortunately cops the same treatment as OCD, where people will say 'being super neat' is OCD and 'having lots of stuff' is hoarding. But just like OCD, hoarding is a mental health issue that is heavily related to anxiety, whereby the process of getting rid of stuff actively causes distress. Sounds like you just got a big heart!! Ya cutie.

Oh whaaaat that's so crap!! You could make a complaint against em for that surely!

@Jynx 

I used to build a wall of clothes at my bedroom door with rubbish just beyond that so I could hear them come in...

My case manager knows and has requested to be cc'd into the emails. 

I also got a pocket video camera to film the doorway when I'm out

[Jynx]

@avant-garde ach the things we gotta do to help us feel safe ay. I reckon you would be like me in that it is deeply uncomfortable for you to have strangers in your space! I'm glad you got some support for the process!

@Jynx
