Morning all
VJsmum they are VERY collectable! Be a nice bit of kondoing for you if they all sell.
Had a crafting day yesterday so kondoed some more stash. Apart from the scorecard holder I decorated a spare craft box for stepDGS to keep her crystal and fossil collection in Then knitted another beard.
Dh swapped some storage round in the kitchen yesterday and so far it's working so much better. Nothing new was bought it was just changing the use of three storage boxes we already had in there.
I plan to kondo the ironing pile todaySPC~12 ot 124

By doing it it's mostly joyful stuff but will weed out any that isn't as I get to it. While the ironing board is set up I may also kondo a couple more patchwork squaresSPC~12 ot 124

I rarely wear make-up and though I may yearn to have beautiful nails, my job doesn't suit them and TBH I can't be ar$$d anyway...........
Scarves folded and in a drawer. Am very happy. Brought drawer out to living room to do it as OH was in bed. Still sitting on floor where I can see it to admire without having to open it :rotfl:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Managed to Kondo 2 items via Fleabay. Only thing is one item has to go to the highland in Scotland & not sure if my postage charge will cover it
Never mind I'll check & take the hit if necessary - at least it will be gone!
Debating whether to relist the items that didn't go or just CS them.
Horrible day here so will have another bash at the paper mountain.
Have a good day all xSmall victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0 -

DHs wardrobe is so packed full of clothes I couldnt put ironed stuff in :rotfl:So he agreed to get rid of 13 shirts :eek: But not out of the door in a storage box to be dumped in the loft :eek: So lets hope the roof doesnt blow off in this windand the storage box on view to the whole world
Cant see the point of this myself as he never wears shirts ever (apart from interviews) But at least they are out of the way for the moment.and lets hope he wears the 10 still left in his wardrobe at some point in the future
Oh well I am trying but in my plan to move in an hour.I will now have to add 2 mins on to get in the loft and bring the storage box down :rotfl:So something else will have to go to make the time up !

I'm on a bit of a roll with my books ... Shakespeare's Sonnets! I actually read a few of these sometimes, but they're on kindle for zero pence, and I found a website too. Bye bye 40 year old book - if you have numbers of those, they actually start to smell
but thats going too, now

VJsmum - fingers crossed you get some decent cash for the cars!
4 bags of towels, cloth napkins and dvds to the charity shop today. Just spent some time kondoing my inbox by unsubscribing from junk mail!
Plan for this evening is to fold and store normal towels.0 -
:eek: Eeek! Just learned that the electrical upgrade is going to happen in a fortnight, which means I'll have a day, possibly two days, of sparkies crawling all over my flat. Which is a teeny-tiny space anyway.
Boy, that's gonna be fun for all concerned, particularly in the bedroom which is ever-so-slightly bigger than the standard double bed it contains.
On the plus side, I shall more sockets and in more sensible places than I have them now. On the minus side, there's no possible way to do this ahead of time and me and sparks will have to move furniture to access one wall at a time, the rooms are so small.
D'you think I could ask for a very slender electrician, to make everything a bit easier, because if I end up with a rugby-playing type of chap, it's going to be very trying............ (see what I did there?).Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

GQ you could always hope, but there may be a penalty if the planned conversion doesn't happen
