Tumblr Dryer?

crystalcazziePoor Tormund really didn't like the storm last night. (I didn't either cos there was so much rain and I was so stressed worrying about it getting in.) He asked to go out around 3am, which I wasn't happy about, but shot back in at the sound of thunder so hopefully he's learned that it's safer inside than out! He was still unsettled though and didn't want to come into my room with me so I stayed with him on his bed in Rob's room. That seemed to help and he stayed there the rest of the night, which was good. Hopefully tonight will be calmer.
In other news, our ancient tumble dryer no longer works. Our washing machine technically has a dryer setting and I tried to use that but it's beyond terrible so we've ordered a new dryer. We didn't want to be buying stuff before moving but I don't think we can go without one. It's not like the weather is conductive to drying clothes outside at the moment!
(Also I think it says a lot about me that when I went online to look up tumble dryers I misspelt 'tumble' as 'tumblr' every single time...)
In decluttering news I've been strict with myself about having a proper wardrobe purge. I have so many dresses that don't properly fit me any more and I'd not be happy wearing, but I've kept them just in case I lose weight in the future. I have to admit that that's not likely to happen and if it does I can always buy new clothes. A lot of these dresses are from a decade ago so it'll be good to have something new anyway. I'm in my 40s now, maybe I should have a new style! And my aim is to have a wardrobe where I can just reach in and grab something and know it will fit me comfortably.
This has also been a reminder to me to actually wear my nice clothes and not save them. A depressing number of the dresses I'm donating still have their tags on cos I felt like they were too nice for everyday wear and should be kept for something special. But all that happened was that I never got to wear them at all. Still, hopefully somebody else will love and wear them now and they'll raise decent amounts of money for Phyllis Tuckwell.
Speaking of money, I got an offer from VCC for £76 for my box. Not a huge amount but since the main goal was to get the stuff out of the house anything's a bonus.
