Good to see you, Nelle. Thanks for sharing your real life experience.

Great advice Keith. I think for many of us who's homes are not suited to one-floor living, will find stair lifts to be the key to staying in our home. I found this out this winter when I had emergency surgery and haven't been allowed to climb stairs for the last 4 months. Our house has no bedrooms down stairs and the rooms aren't large enough to be converted into a bedroom. I've been staying with my niece who does have first floor bedrooms.

@Angel - good luck with the decluttering! Doing it up front really is the best solution - I know it doesn't feel like it now though!

@Brenda - I think its partly because I've always had friends of all ages, and not having kids I have far more in common with people in their 20s with no kids then people of my own age going on about their grand kids (yawn) !

@Shelia - I don't get it, I really don't. Its just stuff. I have somestuff I am emotionally attached to: a couple of dresses of my mother, some old photos , a few pieces of jewellery. That's about it.

That is really not the problem: the problem was: in order of volume: books, so many books, paper my partner hoards records, you only need them for 7 years, preferably scan the lot, clothes, stuff that didn't fit, will never fit again, stuff that just never worked.

You put everything in a storage unit and left it there for how long? What kind of state was it in when you unpacked it? Did you do anything special to ensure books etc didn't get mildewed?

I ask because we keep debating the idea of moving to the UK for a while, but we know we'd want to come back to Oz eventually. If we go for a year, we might as well go for three or four years - and as houses over there are rented furnished, we won't need to take furniture etc. Our worry has been, can we safely leave stuff in storage for that long? Sounds like you can answer that question!

@pkmcr Us Brits have to make the most of the US market, and getting off to a good start is another thing we must consider.
Thanks for the comment.

Very useful and entertaining page which is well presented and as someone based in the UK very pertinent!

Cheers now! got some updates coming up for this wizzle!

Go you! Is it lodged in your mind forever now?

A fifth of the readership have it memorised. That is quite impressive. I also like how not one person has said that they didn't know the UDoHR existed. The word certainly got out.

Thanks again! Not sure of the old way of singing it but I can understand how it all sticks in your head.

That is what we all want - to be able to look back on our choices and realize we did good. While in the throes of it though, it can be tough.

Thanks for your input. Very encouraging!

@2uesday I agree, there is a good feeling, and I too believe it will go from strength to strength. If I can accelerate that process in any way, I shall. If I can influence anybody to assist that process I shall endeavour so to do. If I can help anyone trying to make their way in online writing then I shall do my utmost to achieve that goal.
I am glad that I have been able to pass on some information that you have found helpful. I am even more pleased that you have enjoyed reading my missives.
Thanks for taking the time to inform me, it does help to know that ones efforts have not gone in vain.
Good luck at Wizzley, I hope you have as much fun as I am having. Hope to see your articles flowing soon. I shall keep my eye out for them.

I'm always a believer in using natural solutions so enjoyed your page. Gave you a Wizz vote too.

Very pretty Calla Lilies, Lou!

Value pricing is usually only ever undertaken by advertisers against large sites. It is debatable whether Wizzley is yet large enough or specific enough for advertisers to be bothered to undertake value pricing. That said Google themselves will simulate what it thinks an advertiser would have done, had they had the time or inclination.
I have not, as yet, had enough data to determine whether Google places a high, middle or low advertiser experience against Wizzley. My gut feeling, considering that much content here is for affiliate based sales, is that G is hedging its bets and placing a medium value to us. Anyone producing dross and getting 'get me outta here' clicks could negatively impact us all. This is one reason why, I believe, HP got slapped so hard. Their value pricing rating must have been on the wane just before the Panda hit. That said I did get my highest single Adsense click of, I think $14, after Panda, so it may be that there is a value pricing for an individual sub-publisher account in operation.
By the way, I had hoped you would pick up on the 'hint of sarcasm' I mentioned in my previous comment. Thanks for your chime TTB - the value pricing issue is important to us all. Another good reason to house-keep now and then, to remove all dross.

I like your natural solutions. We don't have cockroaches here, though we have other pests!
