Redsquirrel's 'Striving For Better Days' Diary

Karmacat

Oh, thats not carp! My mum kept a few exercise books from when I was little, and they're amazing to see now. Children's dragons - if I were you, I'd bring them out again and frame them!

I like all my carp..i have piccies and cards from kids when they were little and even some weirdly painted dragons, because they knew i liked them! I keep trying to get rid of some things..but will only manage to stuff a few draught excluders at this rate!

Aww yeah, you have to keep things like that. I've got all sorts of letters and cards from people, in boxes under the bed

I ball the tights up and stack them like socks..it is the only way i have found. Used to have one of those divider things, but i am sure they snuck out of them when my back was turned!:rotfl: :rotfl:
I used to fold them from the top down and stack them nicely, same with socks..but as years have gone on i ball them all:D easier for lobbing as well:rotfl: :rotfl: so drawers go..bras and knickers on the left..socks and tights on the right.
Other draw, is t shirts..folded like they do in shops, so lie down flat and don't crease.

wardrobe wise...all that fits on the right...
stuff i want to get back into, paid a fortune for and no way am i letting go! On the left.
Pants and shirts in between, coats on the far left!

Can you tell i am bored?..:rotfl: Might reorganise my jumpers now!

I have framed some lovely mothers day cards..the dragons are plaster cast ones, are very big and i have one that is orange and green and a gold and green one..i used to have them on my display unit and only took them down about three years ago ( had them up for 5)You should have heard the fuss:rotfl: :rotfl: My eldest was 18 at the time:rolleyes: ( hers was norbett the dragon and is orange and green)

The dragons sound lovely

Good idea on the tights, I'll give that a go. I've got three drawers, top one bras and knickers, middle one socks and tights and bottom one pyjamas etc.

Currently got all my tops in the middle of the living room floor so I can watch TV and pop on here while I go..

I've got a pot dragon too

You put an incense cone inside him, and the smoke cokes out of his nose

Hehe that's brilliant!

I've now just about sorted the 'tops' wardrobe, decided to empty another chest of drawers full of duvet covers etc and put them on the shelf in that wardrobe, so jumpers and vest tops can go in drawers instead - think that should work better. Got wardrobe organised by sleeveless tops, t shirts, blouses, cardigans then jackets, roughly by colour as well. Just trying to work my way through skirts and dresses now (trousers are easy, I own two black pairs, a grey pair and three pairs of jeans).

Popped out to shop to get some more coat hangers, found some in charity shop but got tempted by their sale as well and somehow a skirt, two tops and a jumper have found their way home with me On the plus side I have thrown out quite a lot (some only fit for bin, some for charity shop and some I'm going to see if my mum wants when they come down on Weds) and I reckon I could manage through winter with just another cardigan or two. I always fall in love with nice soft jumpers though....

Still got a pile of 'maybes' that I need to try on, some stuff that actually needs *cough* ironed.. and I still want to start from scratch with a personal shopper! :rotfl:

Thats quite a lot, you know! :rotfl: you don't need any more! Think of the debt freeness! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

You are right of course, and I need to wear everything I've already got



(Can I buy just one black cardigan, if I promise to get it with vouchers? )
