took my 6 huge bags of clothes to cash 4 clothes and got a whopping £40!!! Was expecting about £10-£15 so was really really chuffed. 79 kilos!....

Wow! that's great. The best I can find here is 35p a kilo but every little helps.....


Still slashing away at my SABRE - four Christmas cards stitched now, to be kondo'd in December

More kondoing of paper work last night with a glass of wine and rubbish TV ( BGT!) Still haven't found The Important Piece of Paper but the chill was taken off the evening by burning paper on the log burner:) Going to tackle another draw in the filing cabinet today but really want to get into garden...........need a vitamin D top up;) We have 4 filing cabinets BTW so paper work is a long project. My aim is to at least get rid of the 2 drawer cabinet as it holds mainly work stuff that I haven't looked at in years so on that basis I am sure most can be ditched when I finally get round to it:o

Still gathering komono and clothes for next week's Jumble Sale.

Just found a a nice silver coloured gift box - great for MK storage, BUT...

in it was a Ginger Jar and Trinket Box - rather pretty, and could be a nice accent on the spare room dressing chest, (otherwise they will be kondoed!)

Sadly, the sealed jar contains chocolate ginger and the box, chocolate truffles!

Four pairs of kni**ers straight to the bin instead of hung out with the rest of the washing - baggy elastic definitely does NOT spark joy LOL
Sadly Miss Kondo has caused me to swerve from my DFW ways - the library showed that of their only two copies, one was lost and the other on its way to someone else. I caved and got the Kindle version, sigh! So I bought a book after swearing off buying but at least it's isn't on the bookshelf. And, although it cost money, it was still cheaper than a physical copy. PLUS I read it all in one go - how KonMari is that??? LOL

Good morning. This picture reminds me of my paper mountain ....

Not only that, it's worth it's weight in gold. Maybe you needn't feel guilty about breaking your rule... you have bought a new way of living! :T

My chocolates were extremely well sealed, and further enclosed in stout sealed polybags - no sign of weevils! I was tempted to try it, but thought the risk was rather higher than the out-of-date stuff I often eat!

How sad - I can't even remember who gave me the gift! Lesson learned!

OMG! I thought it was your paperwork, when I saw it! :rotfl:

Mind you, my paperwork is hiding all over the house, in bags and boxes - 26+ years' worth! :eek:

Must get back to my komono!

Definitely not worth making yourself ill iQueen.

There are some strange desk-coloured patches appearing in between the paperwork - not seen any of those for a long while. Lots of reading still to do and the pesky postman has brought more this morning. I know that once I'm on top of it it will be easier to deal with.

Another jumper out this morning. When I was putting washing away I saw it and my heart sank so it went straight into the CS box. A fruit punnet is now holding some of my folded socks and I shall use those pairs for now then once they've had it will rotate others so the drawer will gradually empty out.

This is a genius idea! I have a couple of large mushroom punnets in my recycle box that I will now use for storing my kondoed underwear! It is true that the necessary storage items reveal themselves (with help from the posters on this thread!) :j

Stopped for a coffee.

Working in the spare bedroom, sifting komono for the Jumble Sale.

Half a sack of rubbish, and half a bag of paper/poly, for recycling... so far.

Found 7 pairs of BN knickers that were too small whenever I previously sorted them (pre-kondo). Now they fit! :T And I have enough for 4 weeks! :eek: Will do a 'test wear' for comfort and re-kondo the drawer!

Found a few small bits of daughters' stuff (including a professional certificate for one of them!), which they can take or dump next time they visit, also a small jar of foreign/antique coins - including a 1933 George V silver threepenny bit, worth about £3!

Only 1 item for the Jumble, so far, (apart from the already sorted bag of clothes)... a bumbag - mine is big enough without extra clutter! :rotfl:

Going back in!
