Clutter!

[veggiechicken]

My K was clearing out under the Kitchen sinK - and I found the wire bottle brush I've been searching for. This evening, I've sorted out some past-their-sow-by-date flower seeds beginning with K and L which I will scatter tomorrow. Doesn't matter if they don't germinate - it gets them out of my seed box.

Tomorrow (today now) is the 12th and L Day. I'm too tired to think of any L words - logs and leaves aren't the ones I want
Think I'll go to bed instead - Nos da

Haven't done anything yet day - I've been out to buy a car So its been a getting rid of £££££s day. Now I have to clean my car before I take it in to Part Ex. It'll be full of sweet papers, dog biscuits, tissues and maybe some coins! I'll let them keep the moss and bird poo

Lazy day sounds good I've been having a car day too,MOT all ok,luckily they had a gardening magazine so I sat in the sun reading a December gardening mag,it reminds me to force some hyacinth bulbs again,they were nice in blue & white,here's a photo from March 4th this year,I think it was the blue ones that had a wonderful scent that filled the room

I have a rotation system in my wardrobe, anything I've worn goes back on the right. At the end of the year the clothes on the left get sorted and packed of to the charity shop.

If I don't wear it for a year it gets removed

Cor, I couldn't that long Bal.
6 months is my limit, but I do have quite a small set of clothes.
If I buy something new, then something has to go out
Lovely idea of yours though

I prefer to think of my wardrobe as a costume museum, displaying items of all sizes, fashions and lengths. Came in very useful when I was invited to a "60s" party some years ago

Today is the 13th and its M day. Could be Money or Museum pieces, marmalade or mints............

I read the thread title as 'Clucker' and thought VC had started singing again!

It could be mayhem

I don't have clutter I have knick knacks.....................some are knicked, some are knackered but all do a brilliant jobs of taking up empty space.

Magazines, lots of old ones.
Music tapes, nothing to play them withany more.
Maps from past holidays, wont be used sgain.
Magic markers. Ink dried up.
Many other bits and pieces.

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Bramble - I have lots of old magazines that I can shove in the recycling bag. That can be my M for the day

Starting again!

Don't read this if you are a neat and tidy person. Thanks!


I'm a bit worried as I keep reading things about tidying - it must be the dark nights.
I've even bought "Spark Joy" (very reduced price). Its written by a Japanese lady called Marie Kondo and she has a business tidying. She's probably made a mint from telling people how to declutter. I've only read the Intro and I dislike her already!
You're supposed to only keep the things that "Spark Joy". Not really sure about that myself as there's not much that I have that is Joyless - the iron has already gone!
Anyway, the point of this is I'm going to try to be a bit more minimalist in 2018. Having helped my moved-out neighbours dispose of lots of junk, I looked at my own with new eyes. It has to be thinned out.
Does anyone fancy joining me in 2018? Knowing me it will only last for a couple of weeks, then I'll be bored.

You know me VC, getting rid of clutter is my job lol
Let's do it all again, shall we?

[Chestnut]

I’m in!
Had a pretty good clear out when I moved house 2 years ago, but it is about time to start chipping away at it again.
Might take more than a couple of weeks though, as I don’t want to get rid of my cardboard stash until I have dug out enough carpet to make my new raised beds ;-)
