I was ruthless when I moved recently, because I didn't have a moving van and I was under a huge time restraint -- to the point when I saw people going through the dumpster, I would stick my head out and ask them what they were looking for, and did they also want a ____?
Most of the clutter around here is ex-stuff, D's pile o' tech stuff and toys.
This weekend I am ruthlessly murdering clutter and old paperwork. I'm being draconian in stomping on sentimentality. This has needed to happen for a very long time.
I am just in from the Great British Beer Festival. Between us I think we tried about twenty five beers.
I hope everyone else's days have been filled with beer and pies.
Ooh pie.
Jars just made me want a pasty. Stoopid London, not being within walking distance.
I'm being draconian in stomping on sentimentality.
My new cleaning phrase is "keeping [x] would put the "mental" in "sentimental."
I am also spending the weekend shoveling crap out of my office so it can get drywalled and painted. Too Much Stuff.
I've gotten better about purging, but struggle to get it out of the house. Piles of stuff everywhere to mail, sell, donate.
Sean, what's your tag from?
Teppy, I hope that you're feeling better. I once asked a friend why he still had naked photos of his exGF who he hated (long story as to how it came up), and essentially he said - 1. It's a naked picture of a girl. 2. It's a naked picture of someone that he had good sex with and 3. He enjoyed that she let him take naked pictures of her.
I advised him that his current GF would not appreciate them, and he should get rid of them. He allowed as to I was right. But I'm not sure that he got rid of them, he might have just hidden them better. @@
