Furthest I got a book was to Dublin probably because I left it on a ferry:rotfl: It doesnt seem very popular in the UK as I have 'released' about 10 books and only heard back from one:(Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

I predict that if the Kondo Army pick up on it - and tell their social network about it - then it will be in a completely different place in 12 months :TComps £2016 in 2016 - 1 wins = £530 26.2%

Yup, it'll be folded - and probably triangular. I've told a few people already.
I've seen a lot of trouble caused by Stuff. Squabbling over dead people's Stuff, squabbling among living people in the same household, people refusing to allow home improvements to be done (for free, my employer is a council landlord) because they'd have to move Stuff............. at the back of a lot of troubles in this world, you will find an insidious pile of Stuff, the gurning JunkMonster. King Kong ain't got nothin' on this guy in terms of effective destruction of happiness.
Heck, for most of humanity's existance, we've struggled to get enough food, shelter and warm apparel, and now we've got all that in the West, we busily crowd ourselves out of our own living quarters with Stuff.
Crazy, crazy lifestyles........................:pEvery increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

Well said, GQ. My aim this year is to have net flow out of the house of 'stuff':D So far nothing but groceries/toiletries/cleaning products bought (by me)since 27th December OH had to buy some computer bits to fix PC.Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

I do too Y'know, I am so glad to hear other women on this thread admit to this. I hate, loathe and detest shopping for clothes. It falls somewhere between going to the dentist and minor surgery on my least-favourite activity list. Yet we ladies are supposed to love nothing better than getting together with our gal-pals and hitting the clothing shops.
They call it Retail Therapy because you need you head examined if you do it.
Today I will be donating a bag of perfectly good Stuff which I am not using and which is not bringing me joy. In some cases, some bits in there are bringing me guilt and anxiety, so off they can go.Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

I've posted about this before but posting again as the thread is becoming very long and new Konverts joining everyday
whoop whoop!
It's a young Canadian mother she runs a cleaning company
Don't be put off her home is gorgeous and so is she.
However I find her cleaning videos so helpful and realistic
Without trying to turn into a Stepford wife God forbid
Well we need to start cleaning efficiently and quick after we are Kondoed
So we can be free to do what we really want.
It's a pity isn't it that we can't Kondo our housework
once and never have to do it again!
Unfortunately dirt gets delivered to us every day.
I'm so impressed with everyones (and mine) Kondoing
Well done all”Pour yourself a drink, (tea for me now)
Put on some lipstick
and pull yourself together”
