aka The Evil Clutter Pixie
I have spent the last two days sorting, tidying and hoovering. Dull doesn’t cover it. I have been up and down the loft ladder more times than I can count and been up and down the stairs more times than that. I’m calling it cross training.
I have also made the acquaintance of the evil clutter pixie. The pixie assigned to me has a fondness for:
- carrier bags – two large bin liners full of them and counting
- stationery – five archive boxes of assorted tat
- unopened post – some of it going back to the early nineties
- gadgets – mostly that promised instant tidyness
- storage box lids – many
- odd socks – fifteen
- toiletries – how many bottles of sunscreen does one person need?
- bubble wrap and padded envelopes – two archive boxes
- long hair (to clog up the hoover) – far, far too much!
I have bruises on my bruises and papercuts on my papercuts. So I’m calling it a day and pouring myself a glass (or so) of Chianti.
Thank you to abradysis for keeping me sane.
You have been working hard, your house must now seem huge.
Wow! Well done. Can you sprinkle some of your magic get-up-and-sort-it powder in this direction.. my house needs some of the same treatment!!! 🙂
Blimey that’s a lot of stuff – have you discovered a hidden room??
No…but I have discovered quite a bit of carpet and yards and yards of skirting board.
I think I’ve got one of those pixies !
Unopened post… I just figure if it stays in the envelope it is far more tidy and contained. Don’t you think?
I need to do a de-clutter too. Well done and I think it can certainly be counted as cross training.
can’t believe you have unopened post… being the eternal optimist i always imagine any envelope might have a cheque in it!
