 Things were going well, stuff was collected, plans were made


Then I got Covid, again, and spent the full 10 days in Quarantine and now, a month later, I still feel like shit. No energy, I'm focussing fully on losing weight, helped by the fact my benefits have been cut by 20% cause I've been sick for a year already.


There is just no room for the hobby. Not financially, and not in my head. Actually thinking about just liquidating it all, I can use the cash and the space. 

Looking forward to 2023, hopefully that will be a better year.

  1. I hope you feel better soon, I had Covid in the summer and it hung about for about 6 weeks. Then overnight it disappeared, go figure?
    Don't give up on your hobby I have been visiting your blog for years It is always a good read, try downsizing your collection. I started the process some 8 years ago and have sold on over half my wargaming items, it is very cathartic.
    Anyway stay safe, keep blogging and look after yourself.

    1. Thx Willz. I'm thinking about letting everything go that has not been used in the past 10 years and liquidate all the unbuilt kits. So, mostly 20mm stuff which is about 15 crates of stuff. Maybe get rid of what little micro armor I have as well, saves up another crate. All my Battletech, another crate.

      I need to think ahead as well, still have not found a decent, affordable, space to store what I want to keep.

      And I really, really hate Covid.

    2. That is how I started stuff that had sat in the loft for 10 years, unused but not unloved. You can always buy it or similar from flea-bay.

  2. Sorry you’re feeling unwell, hope things improve soon! A clear out of your unpainted stuff may well help clear your mind - I know I think about the same. But be see you don’t get rid of anything you’ll regret later! :)

    1. Thats the trouble really. If I keep picking up stuff thinking, would not not be a shame.....I won't get anywhere! But plenty of kits in shrink that can go.

  3. Catching up on my blog reading, and came across your post. I hope that you are feeling better by now, both physically and mentally.

    It is so hard to let go of unfinished (or started!) projects... feels like giving up on a dream, BUT, real life is far more important, and honestly we probably will not get to every army/project/idea anyway. (and I at least seem to keep coming up with dozens more!)

    1. Physically a bit, though I'm still very tired. Mentally....ugh. Still going back and forth from selling literally everything, to just keeping a few things, but then make exceptions etc. I've rented a storage box in the next village over and everything is going inthere for the time being, give me some breathing space while selling off as much as I can of the stuff I know I just won't get to.
