KonMari 2018 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Karmacat

Sorry to hear you've caught something, GQ - best thing for you is sleep, of course, you're right.

Wrap up warm and get thee to bed GQ - hopefully with a good rest you can kick the worst of it. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, lovely ladies. Am now back up and about to ingest a portion of h.m soup from my very own grown leeks and butter nut squash. That'll put hairs on my chest.

Then, if I feel up to a wee bit of exercise, I may toddle 3 mins up the road to raid Tosspots at YS tyme, my fave non-blood sport. Gotta keep moving and bargaineering.

Hello kondoistas
I!!!8217;ve been away since before the end of the last thread and just popped back up to say hi. You will all be thrilled to know that during my absence, knicker folding did not slip once, nor did rag bagging to the recycle bin.

Have been kondoing away many hours this morning trying to write my privacy policy and work on GDPR, oh how I wish I could kick them into the long grass but deadline day is approaching.

I'm after some advice ladies. I need to have my wedding and engagement ring resized as I'm about to be the lucky recipient of an eternity ring. My current rings are a little tight and quite a large groove has been made in my finger. The lady in the jewellers recommends going up at least a half size, and possibly a full size+ on the engagement ring as it will be sitting closer to the knuckle (the eternity ring will be the furthest from the knuckle). On a hot day they sit quite tight at the moment, in the cold, they tend to rotate around my finger. The lady says that if the rings are larger, the groove in my finger will fill out again and the newly sized rings will become less loose over time. I've got quite skinny fingers so one ring is currently J, the other is J 1/2. She's talking about going to K with the wedding ring and suggesting K 1/2 with the engagement ring which is currently the smaller of the two.

Has anybody got any experience of ring fingers filling out if they've stopped wearing a tight ring please.

I did a brief presentation on GDPR yesterday, feedback to DH later, "i don't understand" doh
Ref ring sizes, I lost weight so mine were to big so I got a jeweller to put in a small gold ring sizer reducer bar to help keep them on. Could consider that if you go too big.

Spent two hours allotmenteering and decluttered a large bramble bush. Also sorted through a bucket of trash picked out of the soil.

Metal bits in one place (eventually will go for recycling), brick and pottery fragments in another, to go to rubble section of the tip. Rotten pieces of wood added to the net onion sack to air dry (burning in autumn), glass sherds put in a tin and brought home (washing and into recycling bank) and that just left a lot of small bits of former carrier and bread bags, plus bits of roofing felt, all of which have been added to the trash bag.

Grooves in skin definitely fill out over time, but I would say it takes months (too tight rings when pregnant here, and couldn’t get them back on a few months later), why not just get the eternity ring and see how you get on? The best answer is probably not to wear any for a couple of months and let it all settle, it that a possibility for you?

Slinky, I have a problem of small fingers, I think it's the knuckle that is bigger than the bits in between , so mine whizz round in cold weather but I struggle to get them off over the joint. Mine are about the same size.
If they are bigger they slide off completely in cold weather. I don't have 3 rings on one finger though,and probably depends how wide each ring is.
Sorry I don't know anything about fingers filling back out, but I would of thought mine at least will continue to get smaller and the knuckles bigger, with age/arthritis.

Grrr, I'm still waiting for my professional body to issue advice on GDPR.

I've read up on it of course, and we've had to consider it in relation to a small charity that I help to run. I don't think it's going to have a huge impact on me. I hold minimal client data anyway, but people are getting very worked up about it, and I suspect there's a lot of overkill.
