KonMari 2016 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Well I was right, 2 fairly long drives (one in appalling traffic), 2 long days at the event and workjng yester was KnAcker1ing! I had to have a nap when I got home last evening:rotfl:
Still feel a bit jaded, must be my age catching up witth me....

on a positive note, while puttting away clothes from trip I Kondo'd a blouse I have never liked or worn (DH persuaded me to buy it because he likes the colours but somehow it does not sit right). Also 3 books into CS bag, a scarf, a jumper (nice but colour does not suit me), a coat that also does not sit right (bit of a pattern here, maybe I am a funny shape,? ) and a nightie that has thin straps that never stay in place and I don't like it enough to alter them!

The above random kondo-ing surpirsed me but the items just presented themselves and the time was right.

It feels so good, doesn't it, just to be able to let go like that. There is no strong emotion either to
keep or to fling, it just feels right to put the items in the bag to go. A sort of calm and rational moment that takes place without much effort - Joy!

Have got 2 loads of washing done but weather not so good so it's draped around the house with the windows open to air it (thank goodness for fast spin on washer!).

Right off to make low carb lunch as I want to lose at least 5lbs before the next trip away in August - visit to parents so Hope to be able to kondo there, admittedly I will never reach the pinnacle of MK that GQ achieves at her parental home, but I wil try hard!

I have confined myself to barracks today with the beginnings of a head cold and low energy, so have been doing 15 minute bursts on the paperwork mountain again, getting on well with 2012 and 2013, have to go slowly so as not to overwork the shredder, not to self must feed it with an oily sheet of paper soon. I resorted to putting a large crammed bag of shredding in the general waste collection today and will have to do so again, smacks own hand for not keeping up with the admin and being able to utilise it in the compost bins or the green bin.

Wet morning here, very dreary and lowering, but brightening nicely now:D

We had 'roger the cat' :rotfl: and got some funny looks till I learned to mention him as 'our cat roger' Which thinking about it is possibly worse depending if you put a comma and pause in the statement:eek:

I actually had a lodger once named Roger.

It was NOT funny....

It was an urban myth that Captain Pugwash had Roger the Cabin Boy

In fact he was called Tom

But they did have Master Bates :rotfl:

And the writers of the Magic Roundabout series were stoned at the time, as confirmed to me by the son of one of them who went to the same art college as wot I did.

Not that would be much of a surprise to us, I expect.

Can't wait until my freegle pick-up tomorrow.
