    In a 'I don't wanna' kind of mood now having done some scary things (dialled into a meeting and contacted a bank about an account I'd forgotten about). Then the shelving unit in my junk cupboard came crashing down which means I'm going to have to clean it out to fix it. In the huff. I don't want to deal with the cupboard of doom!

    Also, I'm getting old. Just seen a post on fb that one of my friends liked from a make up artist and there's no way I'd use her. She's orange, gone way overboard with contouring (who has time?) and has those ridiculous drawn on eyebrows. I don't get those eyebrows! Apologies if anyone in here goes for that, but jeez. Why do pretty girls make themselves look like scary mannequins?

    My house is too small to have room for one of them, so it's more like an entire house of doom. :rotfl:

    Do you live here? My house looks like we've been hit by a tornado, largely because we have too much stuff and not enough space. Really need a clear out.

    Just noticed Mr CP has 7 bottles of deodorant, all open. Why?

    There's a whole room like that at my parents' house. It's always referred to as the pit of despair :)

    I'm with you on the eyebrow thing as well. I had mine tinted a few months ago and looked so like someone had attacked me with a magic marker that I made them remove it.
  • It's kind of reassuring that I'm not the only person with too much stuff and not enough space for it all...

    Definitely not alone in needing a good sort out and having zero motivation to do it

    I'd love to be able to do subtle contouring to give me good cheekbones, but those eyebrows, no way!! :eek: They're scary, and a tiny (maybe a lot, depending on the severity of it) bit funny too.

    I have quite a few cupboards (and drawers) of doom!!

    7 bottles of deodorant is abit extreme, but at least he'll smell nice! :)

    Oh God! Entire House of Doom is soooo mine! And it's a Garden of Doom too! :(:(:(

    I think at some stage I'm going to have to rent one of those storage things. :(

  • I did rent a garage for a couple of years to store an excess of stuff while I had the old house on the market and during the move and then while I got sorted out at the new (smaller) place.

    I threw a lot of stuff out as well, but still seem to have too much.
