    Morning

    Dumped some more pure tat in the bin.
    This have given me another empty draw, so now I can sort out the next one, moving the stuff to keep into this spare draw.

    Morning Kondoites.
    No problem Kaz.Think I know the tower you are talking about I hope you had a good time.

    Polly all mine were Charity shop so didnt cost a lot to start with :D
    I always do an Ebay search to see what they have sold for and if its peanuts I will just charity shop them.
    But it makes it easier for me to let them go somehow if I sell them to someone else. Now up to £77.50 on the shoes so may treat myself a pair of fitflops as I love them so comfy and I live in them in the Summer.
    As I just said that I do live in them in the summer so why do I still have loads of others I dont wear very much :o Time to list somemore I think ;)

    Debt free and Mortgage free thank you to all for your encouragement and advice

    Morning kondoers, hope everyone is as well as can be.
    Is it just a little bit sad that this mornings heavy rain is bringing me joy as its proved the water butt is plumbed in OK and steadily filling up.
    Finished a all of wool last night, toninght will be a finishing off and sewing up session. Got all the photo albums neatly stashed into the cupboard, i need to revisit them as I've still got to scan some to put on the digital photo frame dd1 bought me a couple of Christmases ago.
    Busy all day today so no real kondoing will be achieved.

    Have a joyful day all

    I am still on a roll! I did a lot of things yesterday, and am full of energy again this morning!
    To add to the fun, we have added a pet rabbit to our family. Dds named it "Princess Aurora" :). It's very sweet and does not mind being carried about, safely wrapped in a teatowel that is now known as the 'rabbit towel'. It really is a sign that I am feeling better, because until a fortnight ago, I could not face the 'hassle' of a rabbit, while in reality, it is hardly any work at all. She is sooooo soft!

    Cleaner Kondoed :T She took it well..

    Kondoed a book - by reading it.

    A horrible (really horrible) job i was going to have to do all day tomorrow looks like it's going to be done by someone else (necessarily cryptic - sorry).

    I have worked myself up into a lather about the first and third of those - just goes to show that it doesn't pay to do that....

    Better get cleaning...:rotfl:

    EDIT - Haven't Kondoed the really horrible job. The blokey don't want to do it. :(
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    Just done general housework today so no Kondoing.
    BUT this morning I Kondoed our mortgage! :j
    It will be easier to move to our new house without a mortgage hanging over us. :T
    Savings are now somewhat depleted but shall start saving the mortgage payments so it will soon add up...
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    Back from work to a full water butt, I'll shut up about it now I know it works. I didn't actually think we had that much rain today so was surprised how quickly it filled.
    Clutter free well done on kondoing the mortgage, brilliant feeling isn't it.

    Ironed four martial arts gi's (suits) yesterday they are all now in a CS bag and will be dropped off at the weekend, with more to follow if they sell.

    Going to nip shops then sort tea, plan to kondo some more wool or a book tonight.

    Not much going on on the Kondo front today although I have Kondoed the remainder of the stir fry veg into some soup for the two of us. DH kondoed the ironing pile though. I made an appointment for a blood test & they had one free on Friday so have taken that. I've also contacted a friend of mine who was interested in a standard lamp and a kidney shape dressing table that need to go. She can have first refusal otherwise they will go to the local hospice. I'm also Kondoing some bubble & squeak cakes to have with our tea tonight.
    Apart from 3 loads of washing done that's about it!
    Have a good evening all x

    Well done on Kondoing the mortgage Clutter
