A friendly alert to all neighbours
Perhaps the strangest theft of 2020 - I recently had a high pressure hot water cylinder replaced and decided to make use of the now defunct unit. I Stripped the outer aluminium coating and the foam insulation away before cutting the steel 180 litre tank in half, lengthwise, with a view to using the two halves as planters. I got up yesterday to find that both halves ( probably heavy enough to require two people to shift them quietly), had been stolen from the back of my house. The two halves were not visible from the street which suggests that someone has been wandering through properties (mine anyway), to even know that they were there. These pieces of steel are the second item to be removed from my property in the last little while so treat this as a friendly alert to people in the Maryhill and wider areas.

Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
