KonMari 2016 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

GreyQueen

Here's a thought;

What is the worst injury ever inflicted on you by Stuff?

By which I mean, something which simply would not have happened without that thing cluttering up your life, or if that thing had not been left in some random place?

I have a 3 inch scar just above my knee. It was caused by brushing against the rusty handle of a rusted-out wheelbarrow (the rubber handle having rotted away long before) when I was a child.

It was the garden of friends. I bled copiously all over their bathroom and towels, and I'm sure they felt just terrible about it and got rid of the barrow soon afterwards. Hopefully the gore washed out.

The scar doesn't bother me, I was an adventurous child and have a few of them, but I was royally p'd off at not being able to go swimming for a whole childhood summer.:rotfl:

Thinking of you tomorrow GQ. I share your issues with funerals, and sadly, there are more of them the older I get

best wishes for tomorrow GQ.

Thanks for the toe sympathy all - it's just bliddy annoying really....

Hmmm I can't think of a stuff related injury - most of mine are due to me being bl00dy awkward...:p

Quick spot of housework kondo'd, easy enough now there's less Stuff!

Domestic admin attended to, including several password reset requests (doh. I followed the advice about having different ones various online a/csso obvs I can't remember them all :rotfl:).

Recycling sorted and out the door.

Tidied multipurpose room which currently also has wallpapering table in there as well. I will have to do the papering asap because I can't be doing with the clutter in there! Working for the next 2 days so should do it friday

Hope it goes smoothly tomorrow GQ.

Funerals do matter. Even when we've been to one where we were not family or even more than acquaintances, it's a way of affirming a life that mattered. Please take my very best wishes with you Grey Queen and I hope it goes as well as it possibly can for all your beloved Nan's family

Thinking of you tomorrow, GQ.

I'm unkondoing at the moment, intending to buy lots of stuff tomorrow for st nicolas (5 December), foods, favourite candy (triple salt licorice, can only be bought in my home country ), new work shirt, probably new shoes, new jeans.

Joyfully throwing my old jeans in the ragbag, together with dd's holey socks and my holey underpants. These three were 'use-em-up-wear-em-out' projects .

We promise to be quiet GQ - luckily Monna's taken the elephant on holiday with her, but we'll all be thinking of you and your Nan.

Siebrie - licorice is vile . Very popular in the Nordics... so I'm guessing your home country is somewhere in that area

My chest of drawers has arrived. Its very pretty. I need to give it a dust, put the drawers in and tidy my bedroom. And then start thinking about what's going to go where in it.

GQ thoughts are winging your way from Blackpool xx

My worst injuries from "stuff" have been:
1. Wrenched knee & bruising for 4 months from shin to hip - testing out new skis & boots on dry slope before ski holiday
2. Severe bruising to big toes resulting in dead nails for 3+ years - wearing new ski boots on above ski holiday
3. Broken cheek bone, gouge out of forehead & scraped chin & nose the night before DH met my mother - falling over own feet whilst trying to get out of his way in an umbrella fight DH told my boys "your mums had a bit of a bump - she used her face to save her hands"
