    Nope, only saw it as I was walking rather than dashing about in the car. This 'having the time to' is great :T.

    Taking a while for the ospreys to come back, there are some back at Rutland Water, just not on our nest. There's a new camera as well - one view below the other, looks great in daytime. HERE in case anyone hasn't seen it before.

    The very loud bird life in my back garden had seemed used to me being out there yesterday. I started chatting to a sparrow sitting high up in my hazel tree, and though my *presence* was fine, my *voice* scared the life out of him, and he pelted away :o

    So, decided I'd have a look on youtube at how to Kondo tshirts. Found out it's how I've been doing then for years :T, though I generally hang them up. Then decided to look at the underwear clip............ am looking forward to doing it tomorrow :eek:. Someone slap me please :rotfl:. Though I have gone from large drawers to much smaller, shallower ones (ooeeerrr missus) plus plastic boxes as bedroom furniture sold or on way to DD so I need all the help I can get :o.

    I may have done 2 drawers before I went to bed :rotfl:. All fits in beautifully :T. Not convinced that's down to the Kondoing though and not just the Removalofrandomcrapthashouldn'tbeinthereing :D.

    Love these threads. Spent a happy hour reading about Kondoing. Off to do todays declutter :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    For me, the pleasure of whats in my chest of drawers is about finally having clean, dry laundry after almost 3 weeks without a washing machine :eek:
