The KonMarie method

june89

Had a mini-moment of Kondo regret when I went to start making cottage pie for dinner and realised that I'd Kondoed the pie dish as I rarely make pies of any sort now. But pie is happily bubbling away in the oven now in a cake pan. It doesn't know the difference! :rotfl:

Glad the appointment went well iQueen and hope everyone else is good too!

I kondoed a pair of socks today as they had a hole in them.

Two of my items from my suitcase might have to go when i get home - a top that i love but noticed i kept pulling it up as it is rather low cut. Unless i can stitch a solution into it, it will have to go as it's mugging me off. Also a lovely pair of green linen trousers that, since i lost weight, look like a sack of spuds - again, I'll try to stitch a solution but if it looks odd then they're gone.

I have to confess to a couple of purchases 3 pairs of "fake" converse - only one is for me, though. However, I wasn't going to buy any for me. And a lovely little china tea pot christmas tree decoration. i haven't ever seen christmas decs in HK before (with them not celebrating christmas and all that :cool:) so was thrilled to get this.

Glad that made you laugh VJsmum As I really couldnt :rotfl:

The Christmas Tea pot sounds lovely and a bit different to the normal Christmas decs I wouldnt know as I dont put any decs up not even a tree As they drive me up the wall and I hate them (evil smile) The cards get put straight in RC and I dont send any bah humbug

On a more postive note 17 items of clothes going today and 4 pairs of boots as well. Someone I know has started a dress agency and she has sold out of nearly all her stock already and asked if I had anything. So I can spare these items some joy(ish) giving but not madly joy giving and she is welcome to the stunning joyful posh jumper which leaves fluff everywhere Good luck to who ever buys it as they are going to need it Its White s*uff so very bad for them.If I sell them I will most likely spend it on another new pair of boots as I have a bit of a thing for buying boots and with 4 pairs going I think I can fit one more pair in

Been trying to hoover for about 30 mins but the Dog has decided to stalk,chase and bite the end of poor Henry. For all of the 30 mins :eek:

He is now asleep from all the excitement (both the dog and Henry );) So may try again soon

I may have to bow out of the mins game sin - only half way through the list for Wednesday 14th and getting seriously stuck. It has hugely helped with getting the last awkward bits and pieces dealt with So I'll continue to keep a list and see how far I get by Halloween
