KonMari 2017 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Ooh I wish I was your best friend! I dream of having a Radley bag.

I have kondo'ed 3 large jars of marmalade to work colleagues. I make lots every year but we don't really eat a lot of jam these days so it's been hanging round since January.


The remaining jars will now fit in the cupboard, which means I can either flatten the storage cube they are in, or use it for a better purpose

I think I might go through my jewellery, with my 2 daughters. Just so they know what pieces belonged to my mum, grandad and hubby etc. So they realise the significance of them. Maybe they can decide which items they want left to them when I die. Then there won't be any argument! !
Not that I own anything of great value. Most is just sentimental, but as jewellery doesn't take up much room, it's something I feel happy to hold on to.

That message has brightened my day!

Thanks - I'm going to accept the thought but decline the offer as really I have too many bags and can't justify another coming in. I think they'll bring happiness to whoever receives them, so not only are you lightening your household, you're spreading joy elsewhere - much better than having them stuck in a cupboard. Thank you so much for such a generous offer.

Kittie - I had a very cheap and cheerful vibration plate for a few years and loved it - this had a 10 minute setting on and within a few days of using I felt a huge difference in my leg and tummy muscle tone. I got it after a knee problem and needed to do some exercises to help strengthen the muscles, it was fab. It moved out with DDs as they both use it daily too and I will probably invest in another at some point. Some days I don't get to leave the house with DH being disabled so that was one way of keeping things toned without the hassle of trying to fit in my daily walk.

Had a morning of sorting and rearranging the living room into "winter" mode. All cosy now and a cat bed (given to us) that not one of the fur balls will use is washed and drying and ready to move on somewhere else. A rug we've had in front of the hearth has gone too, I've got a smaller more colour appropriate one there now instead (brought for £1 in a sale and kept in the cupboard until the ideal place showed itself.

Several other items have left after a flurry of sales on the bay of E, clothes that didn't bring me joy in the slightest and a few household bits that have made a nice little bit of cash towards a Day trip to the continent to visit a few festive things.
