KonMari 2018 - The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

silvasava

MMF - after your post I bought a bunch of yellow tulips for my breakfast room. They look lovely and cheerful - a breath of spring. Thank you.

Ahh, lovely yellow tulips

Undies drawers are done and many socks of all sorts kondoed, I managed that goal of having one empty drawer. I did `cheat` and hang up 2 fine thin nightie/wrap sets, hubbie bought them for christmases, he could never think what to get and was no good with hints. I use them for summer holidays

Vents are all cleaned and I have replaced one large flat bulb and starter motor in the utility. Had to order a small wall bulb though

Pouring down here, cold and gone dark. Will knit now and listen to sherlock on audible, lol, that was bought 4 years ago, takes no space for all the volumes

I love tulips too. I bought some daffs yesterday, but they haven't opened yet.

I'm getting the stuff collected for the tip this week and the plant will be collected too.:T

I took all my herbal tea and put them all together in a wooden box with my teapot. I didn't realise I had so much left still!:rotfl: I'm having two cups a day to run it down. Just about to have a cup of licorice tea.

I have used up the end of two lots of vitamins this week too. Resveratrol and something else, I didn't notice any difference so I won't be buying them again. I used the empty bottles as storage.

:hello: hello fish fins, sounds like you've made a good start, I've sort of finished but coming on here helps to spur me to kondo more!!

My sister took the books and the toiletry bag, the caps still here as sil forgot to take it to give to my niece. Dd2 is having the craft stuff.
A big beef joint is being cooked today from the freezer, though half will go back in once cooked.
I'm hoping to have got freezer stock down enough that when I next buy the raw cat food it can go in that freezer rather than putting the small freezer back on.

There are a few items of clothing I was unsure what to do with. The almost-local secondhand shop is known for its pilfering staff, selling through internet seems too much hassle (I donot need extra stress right now) and the clothes will not fit dds for another 10 years. Lo and behold! An email from my WI that they will do a pop-up shop in May, and are requesting donations, ladies wear only.

Ooh, could I send you some of my cast-offs Siebrie?

Wort: please tell me more about your raw cat food. I have one cat who will eat raw ( my own trimmings from the odd bird or roast), and another cat who won't even look at it.

My eats-everything cat may need to go on a grain free diet full-time. I buy grain free high quality goods anyway, but I've never bought specialist raw pet food. Moggy just gets what we eat!

what a busy day, one thing leads to another, just sat down. Taken several things off walls, re-positioned pictures, pulled rawlpugs out, with screws attached btw, ask me how I learnt that. All holes filled and all, bar the one I forgot, are painted. Several previously `unseen` but displayed items are kondoed today, two hand crafted wooden ornaments, one large prize-wining photo picture in a lovely frame to be offered to my three adult children, two large crystal trees from malaysia, one old barometer from the hall, was a present 40 years ago, time to say goodbye. Plants and pictures moved have made a big difference to how various areas look, lighter and more energy flow

What a day, amazing how it evolved

Well done Kittie, that sounds like a great day!
I managed to move my wall calendar to a better position :rotfl: I am not quite in your league!

I did work through a reasonable ' to do' list. The early snow this morning meant we stayed home and RELAXED rather than drive 100 miles and get stressed. Forecast is not too good for tomorrow. I wonder if I'll give myself a snow day?!

Been loitering here for a while but not posted for ages - although my last post was on the previous thread. It's been lovely catching up over the past few weeks on how everyone is getting on with the kondoing!
I've definitely fallen off the Kondo wagon and some days feel like I should appear on that Hoarders programme.... Partly because a few months back I gave up the workshop that I had for my jewellery making and brought everything back to my flat - quite a lot of stuff which I'm not going to be getting rid of as I need it for my small business. Alongside that I still had loads of stuff to sort through / get rid of but it all sort of got buried in the spare room and garage.
Anyway, I'm starting to make a little bit of progress again. I've sorted through a couple of boxes, a couple of bags have gone to the charity, shop, sold something on ebay and donated a set of fiction books to my local library (after checking they wanted them), so things are moving in the right direction. On the plus side I've been managing to not bring extra things in and managed to minimise stuff being accrued at Christmas and birthday.
For anyone having visions of me climbing over piles of old newspapers and rubbish and only having one chair that I can sit in and have to sleep in, I think 'Hoarders' would reject me - thankfully it's nowhere near that bad ;-)
