So after Easter we only needed to take three days off to have ten days in a row off. Connor was cool with me doing that, so that's just what I did :) (The sweetie had to go to work on the Friday).
The mission for the break was to attack some of the clutter around the house. I made a very long list before the break, knowing that we wouldn't get anywhere near getting it all done.
Day 1. Lesson 1. Clothes.
We actually did what they did on the show (I've only seen the Netflix show, although Stu has read the book) and pulled all of our clothes from both cupboards and put them on the bed. The pile was pretty big, bigger than I thought it would be, but smaller than most of the people on the show. Then we through it all. Stu actually got rid of a *lot* of clothes. I didn't get rid of much. And there's a couple of things in the give away pile that I might take back. Even though they don't fit. Just because they're a bit sentimental.
Day 2 I attacked the linen cupboard. It was actually relatively neat already, but I did pull out a few things to give away, and tidy a little. I still want to get a few tubs for linen that's not used very often, to slow down the silverfish.
Day 3 I went for the pantry. This actually took a couple of days, doing a shelf at a time.
Then I ran out of steam. And David and Kat came to stay haha.
I did get to the gardening corner of the garage on the Friday.
So still a lot I want to get done. Just have to take the odd random day off here and there ;)

Great effort. I was wondering what was the final fate of your Year 10 formal dress that I thought I saw on the floor? Also your wedding dress?

We did a similar purge but not using the Kondo approach. I should've taken pics of the closet before but didn't. Oh well.

Marie Kondo's book completely changed the way I think. She was a huge help when I had to go though my grandmother's things... then my mom's... then mine.
