My list of things that I should really throw out. Today

  • The nappy rash cream in the bathroom. My girls are 5 and 7 – if they start getting nappy rash now, I suspect that there will be a whole other problem involved!
  • The lone flip flop in the backyard. Even if I do find its mate which the fox took one night, I don’t want it back!
  • The custard in the fridge that I don’t dare eat because its been there too long. If I don’t want to eat it, what else do I expect that I can do with it? I shudder to think.
  • The black cord skirt that I managed to cut out and then sew wrong. With one corduroy panel upside down and no spare material, I really can’t fix the direction of the nap, and I never plan to wear it. I must remove the lovely buttons first though.
  • The old fashioned baby travel cot. If no-one on freecycle wants it, then face it. NO-ONE ever will.
  • The headphones and charging cable for the samsung phone that my father-in-law put in his fireplace and melted beyond comprehension.
  • The minidisc player and associated discs. What was he thinking?
  • The three broken Mac keyboards.
  • The Mac mouse that doesn’t work 90% of the time.
  • The various computer books and manuals that teach you how to use OS9 or Photoshop 5.0.
  • The several hundred CDs that came with Magazines that I’ve never even put in and looked at.
  • The portable discman that doesn’t play CDs.
  • The 1980’s micro-system that also doesn’t play CDs.
  • List to be continued at another time!

    I must agree. I have so many junk drawers that have to be cleaned out. When we moved all the time it wasn’t so much of an issue. But, since we’ve been in our house for several years, the crap is accumulating.

    My husband knows that I am a horder. And with no built in cupboards at all, we are always pushed for space. So I really need to stop keeping things that are pointless!
    This past summer holiday I DID achieve cupboardal nirvana in a few places, but there are still a few more to be tackled.

    I think I have 8 of those exact items waiting to be purged. Thanks for the laughs

    Hey, I found your blog because you commented on mine (Manic Motherhood). Your blog is awesome. I’m so glad I wandered in for a look. We moved to a bigger home 2 years ago and I swore I had so much storage I’d never fill it all. Yeah. So the other day when I tried to get something out of the closet under the stairs? Three wreaths and a pile of empty gift bags attacked me. I need to stop expanding to fill my space.
