  • I hope you feel better soon now that you have the antibiotics OBL. It's horrible having to work when you feel ill.

    Well done on the decluttering front, you are really going for it :).

    And congratulations on your one year badge, it's always fun getting badges :T _party_ :beer::T.

    thought this might interest you OBL. I have to say I totally agree with it. Although I am loving Marie Kondo, she does need to think about where the stuff is going when they get rid of it.

    Thanks Hairy, I didn't feel too good yesterday but don't feel so bad this morning so hopefully the antibiotics have done their job

    The decluttering is going really well and I'm not stopping until it's all done ;)

    This is why I follow the Minimalists,they also urge you to clear out unwanted things that are cluttering up your life but their main message is Don't Buy It In The First Place, they also advocate people buying good quality items that will last instead of cheap things ,they buy clothes on EBay that are good quality used clothes and their message is you don't need all this stuff to make your life happy,you just need the basics to live from day to day
    Food
    Shelter
    Warm clothes
    Everything else is possibly unnecessary to live a comfortable life
    They concentrate on living a meaningful and productive life where you hopefully don't have to work all the hours god sends to service the debts just to pay for loads of things but instead have time to enjoy your hobbies and experiences that mean the most to you
    At the end of their podcast they always say

    Love People Not Things Because The Opposite Never Works
