    Maddiemay please can I be your niece :rotfl:Sorry my Dubarry boots are going no where no how ;) I wear them everyday even in Summer to do the chooks or walk the dog. But I must say I also have Shepherd of Sweden boots. I think the Shepherd boots are much better made.
    When I wear the Dubarrys out I wont replace them with like for like I would defo go for Shepherd they are both the same sort of style.But I doubt I will ever wear the Shepherd boots out :rotfl:They seem to be made out of some kind of steel :D Glad you are saving your 50ps for a new pair but do check out Shepherd boots before you splash the cash ;)

    OK, day 3! I feel like I should be saving all this for later in the month, but here goes. I sorted out my stash of stuff I kept to sell, with the thought that if I won't definitely make a fiver or more, it had to go. So I've got rid of
    71 items of clothing :eek:
    1 pair of shoes
    1 coat
    1 flat sheet

    It was all living in a giant cupboard in the hallway, so it doesn't make any visual difference, but it feels great that it's gone! Love this game.

    :D You could play October as well, no need to feel left out, you're our inspiration. Expect some very straaaange things turning up on my list, particularly towards mid-late month.

    I would, I probably could still find enough - with pens and bits of paper. But I am off to Hong Kong and Singapore (for work) next Saturday for two weeks, so impossible this month

    I comfort myself that you all have to find 31 more things than I did

    :rotfl:

    However plans are in place to Kondo the job :eek: we will have to see what happens....

    Oh today has not been kind. I know of one thing that can go for day 3 - a hairbrush. Will try to catch up tomorrow once I've rested up.

    Don't suppose the 3 he's of gardening for a friend counts? But it looks much better

    Our local CS reopened today after being closed at the end of August for refurbishment. So I can start donating again:j I have made progress with my new look. I got a pair of h0tter boots for £8, they are on their website for a reduced price of £79 ( original price was £99):eek: I also got a long cardigan which will be good for my new layered look.

    OH got a Jasper Conran leather jacket but is under strict instructions to kondo some of the ones he has.

    Hi everyone ,

    I think I will join in on the mins game. I'm on maternity leave just now so am busy with a lively 3 month old who doesn't like to sleep very much! However, during those precious nap times, I've slowly been kondoing. So...

    Day 1: a blouse which no longer sparks joy
    Day 2: a long cardigan which has seen better days
    A vest top I know I'll never wear again
    Day 3: pair of Skechers trainers which are comfortable but are not joyful, buying them was a mistake
    Two pairs of old flip flops

    I have already kondoed a fair amount of stuff but kept a number of things because 'that cost me good money'. I'm going to be tackling the komono in my wardrobe and the kitchen this month. I'm desperate to have clear worktops, but it's easier said than done with an OH who sees any clear surface as a dumping ground! I'm patiently waiting for kondoing to rub off on him.

    A new challenge should give me the boost I need to get the place finished, so here goes October! Good luck everyone xx
