KonMari 2016 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

MMF007

Mrs V P , two dress sizes smaller ! :T:T:T

Only thing that left today was HM soup (roasted red pepper with plenty of garlic ), as I take lunch to elderly neighbour mid-week. I knew she liked garlic but it is a new recipe for the soup so was a little unsure. Luckily, she loved it! Have left her another portion for tomorrow.

Yes, it is red hot here, too, but we had soup for lunch anyway so, yah-boo :rotfl:

oh, yes, and I finally remembered to put the small bag of used batteries in Morries battery bin. I have carried them round for WEEKS!

Perhaps i should have done Mins game :eek:

Mrs Veg Plot, I encountered a very dead (probably) sparrow in Mum's loft last autumn, damn near put my hand or my knee on it (was crawling along the joists). Mega ick. Amused the kondo-gang at the time. I'm impressed with people working in lofts, must be horribly hot and humid.

Have been busy today and have made some gains rather than losses (OK, I ran amok in the 10 p book box at a nearby chazzer, they were going for pulping next week if they weren't rescued).:o Will read and re-home via another chazzer later on. What can I say, I'm weak-willed.

siebrie, every home should have an oubliette. They are like Don Aslett's definition of a what-not (a place to put things you ought-not have bought).:rotfl:

MinsGame Day 7; paperback thriller (donation bag), 3 library books, returned, euros changed back to sterling, camera bag donated and a pile of hoarded fruit punnets into the recycling.

I also paid my allotment rent online, but not sure if decluttering a lump of money from my bank account can go towards MinsGame.

Lots of items now gone, hooray. DD's shopping never left the boot, so that's been delivered, also the things I washed and ironed after their last visit, also a couple of bits I had purchased on her behalf the other week, all now gone.

The lift got mended just in time, so no lugging heavy box downstairs, big thanks sent up with the relief of that! The handover at the collection place was very fast, and I found a penny by my car on my return.

So all in all a good outcome considering it was a workday and I was a bit frazzled at times over the logistics, but I got there.

GQ - an oubliette is a particularly nasty type of dungeon! Only one way in/out and underground. Did you have anyone particular in mind to put in yours???? Or will you make a list a bit like the executioner in the Mikado

I could think of a few people....... :rotfl:

An oubliette is a place where you purposefully and after some thought, put things to die-in-storage!

These dungeons took their name from the French verb oublier- to forget - if I can remember my admittedly vestigal schoolgirl French.

Oubliettes have variant spellings; shed, loft, understair cupboard, being but a few of them.

... boxes in loft, carrier bags squirrelled away in wardrobes.
Then you get them out and say 'good grief - I'd forgotten I had one'.

That's the oubliette effect!
