KonMari 2016 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Glad I checked, OH is working away from home, spotted that there's a red flood warning for 1.30pm tomorrow afternoon where he's working. He says he'll leave early - just hope he does!

Just spoken to OH, he's going to leave at 11am so he's well away from the area.

I am feeling regretful because I bought various kitchen electronic items that I am about to remove, after my coffee which will give me time to ponder. Some I have not used in two years, others I would not use again, since my changed circumstances, widowed and now single. I am going to do the correct MK thing and going to hold each one and see what it says to me, they are already out, on a table. Once they are gone then I will forget about them and put something I already have and love, in their cupboard space

I am comfily dressed, ready for rooting in corner cupboards, just need to get on with it and forget about the waste, they are no good just sitting there

Go Kittie! It is very liberating, liberating inanimate objects, believe me! Once they are released they no longer sneer at you every time they catch your eye. You thank them, say goodbye and breathe a sigh of relief.
As we have come to realise on this thread, the money spent is long gone, at the time the aquisition gave you pleasure or served a purpose, now you can release the items and focus on items that bring you joy, small or great.

Please report back with a big smile at how well it went?

BTW, I am hopping from foot to foot with my hands behind my back and my head slightly bowed because I have sinned again...... my much depleted stash of cheap handbags has just been topped up by a new addition, bought in the sales of course, after much contemplation, for a magnificent £29. It is bright, ironically in a Japanese style, patterned fabric, and will get much joyous use. This is bag number 2, because I found a beauty last week that was even cheaper. I have no intention of buying any more for years because my these 2 fulfill many uses and bring great sparks of joy. I am resisting making handbag buying a hobby!

It's hard though, isn't it Kittie? But you are doing the right thing.

OH has been decorating the kitchen. he should finish on Sunday so i am going to use it as an excuse to kondo - though i don't think there is much left to go. I no longer have "that" drawer - but i did have a small box like "that" which i have kondoed.

The dishwasher has broken, I was pushing to get rid of it, but OH won't so i have to get it repaired. i am quite enjoying the washing up

I have vowed to finish Kondoing the office. It is the last big thing to be done (2 years on) and i keep doing bits. Paperwork and photos are going to be finally completed. the shelves sorted (though regretfully there isn't much more that can go). i have moved back in (from working in the dining room) but this last push will make it much more pleasant.

I was going to take some bits to the chazzer today - but want to avoid driving on the dodgy roads, so it will have to wait.

Any ideas what i can do with a gift pack of flavoured filter coffees? I am not keen on added flavours to things but don't think the food bank will have much use (or do you think someone might like the luxury? I am wondering if i am being classist :-/) but don't know anyone who would like them...

sell them?(if unopened) there is eBay or Facebook

also sell unused kitchen items?

Take them into the office for anyone who brews their own coffee?

I know somewhere like CAP might want them if they know of someone that has a birthday coming up and likes coffee.

(I'm lurking on this thread while getting ideas for my decluttering!)

Sorry should have said - I work at home so can't do that. i would've done that previously. OH said he doesn't think anyone in his office might use them.

Sorry, it's Christians Against Poverty, they help people in debt.
