organisation. where are thee?

nicely sorted

it's the last day of spring, and the agent and i are bit late in doing the 'spring clean' thing. it's an urge we get every couple of months, and well......it's taken the full 3 months of spring to hit us this time around.

let me tell you, 3 adults + 2 kids living in a 3 bedroom townhouse = crowded mess! (third adult is a friend of mine from canada here on a working visa)

so we are in the process of cleaning out the kitchen, the bedrooms, the bathrooms (how on earth did i end up with so many cosmetic samples?!! gah!) the desk areas, the girls clothing, the girls toys. you name it, we're working out how we can either use it or it gets tossed.

a wonderful 'motto' an old boss once told me.....'if in doubt throw it out'. so if i'm in doubt that i'll ever use that container which does not have a lid, it's gonna be thrown out!

oooooohhhh how much easier that makes everything.  sort of. hmmmm......

i do wonder if i'll ever regret throwing out some of the bits and pieces. and then i think 'you thought that last time this urge hit, and look! you've never used it, so chances are you are not gonna miss it!' that thought does help with the process.

and just to think. all this cleaning is in time for christmas.....and all the crap that goes with it. i love christmas. i really do. it's just.......i don't know. that's another post.

ps - by 'throw out' i mean ebay or the salvos. nothing in good condition goes in the bin. i'm a huge believer in recycling. just cos i don't use it doesn't mean someone else wont.
