Oh dear, where do I start...?

 

Erm, I am a minimalist surrounded by clutter

I have lots of photos ... But have cut down a bit on the ornaments cos I am getting fed up of dusting them

YAY! The Bunns! good to see you (and your clutter) 

Love it Baby Bunny

 

At this moment I have nothing on my living room walls.... I can't find anything I like 

 

 

 

Bunny, lovely to see you hopping about   

I try to be a minimalist ... some have said that I am very trying

 

Same as bunny we're clean but we have a lived in look rather than a show home look..

 

*sniggers, I have the same problem*  

 

 

Pud 

      

Dameship

hehehe

Who wants a show home look though? 

clutter is the bain of my piggin life!!!!

 

it just regenerates..  

 

I should have had ornaments...   it would have taken up the space my messy lot use for piles of clutter... 

 

one day they will be grown up & moved out..     I am gonna order the most enormous skip available & have a whole week of chucking all the cluttery crap in it 

 

 

 

there was a whole lot less clutter in our house before MrD moved in      He won't have any of it..    but its true..    he is a hoardy cluttery person 

LOL Ditty.                  I seem to have a penchant for supermarket carrier bags 

 

 

bag lady  changes address 

My best friends house is like a show home, she can't sit for a cuppa without getting up to clean something! She also runs her fingers over my dusty areas!

PMSL! They disappear every so often when my Auntie Pam comes to collect them to use as pedal bin bags 

Oh, I'd be having something to say about that   has she got OCD? 

I beg to differ

 

No-one, NO-ONE a tells 'ee can compete with MY clutter!! Not even those of you who think you can!! Not even those of you who have forgotten what colour the upholstery is under that stack of whatever it is on top of the sofa!!

 

I am now feeling guilty and may have to make a start on sorting it all out..................... tomorrow*

 

*tomorrow as in its mañana sense...

 

 

Hello me old muckers Sprout, Dame, Rexi-poo

I have "CLUTTER" but none of it is mine.....tis all two daughters, two Grandchildren and him indoors.......I'm neat me (said in a Louise accent, with doe eyes) 

Listen mate, you ain't seen the state of my settee at the minute 

One of mine is housing my loved one.....the other is housing my loved ones ironing.....

 

 

Decides the bunny life is the way to go 

 

 

chuffed you're here  

 

Listen pal ...

 

I see your relatively uncluttered settee and raise you 2 cellars, a loft, a conservatory and a front room... there's more but I am holding them in reserve in case you increase your stake!!

 

It's not Dame, believe me!!

 

Aww ta, me dear

Hope he's gonna do it 

Can't compete and backs down 

 

Bunns now listen up...I'm calmer than what I used to be... I was bordering on obsessive 

I've slowed down the older I am  My daughter keeps saying the lived in look is in fashion and I'm trying hard to go with the flow  and she's just a lazy mare, she's not fooling me 

    

I think I was OCD once, I used to wipe blobs of water off the sink... the sink was clean, the blobs of water were there as a result of cleaning it, but I used to wipe them up

 

I have a box with old buttons in it which I inherited off my Gran. The collection was started just "in case" someone lost a button and one of the buttons in the box just might match the lost button. No-one, ever lost a button that could be replaced from the collection.

 

At my cousin's husband's funeral this year, I discovered that my cousin also has such a box

 

There was also a story about how, when they had moved house they woefully underestimated how many boxes they would need (cos she is a hoarder and was married to a fellow hoarder who couldn't throw out tools) and in the end they had to leave so much behind on the day of the move that her kids had to make multiple car journeys helping to deliver the rest of it.

 

So, it is an inherited trait and therefore........ not my fault 

 

Good luck with your daughter

 

Bunns I also had that box  Worse still my dad was at some point  a moulder at a button factory  When my mum passed away, my daughter eventually threw the box out,,,see what I mean about her 

I also have a 'button box'   

 

 

we should do a poll...I bet the button box comes out tops 

  I aspire to clutter ..... I keep looking at lovely pictures of homes with lots of little knicknacks and stuff that make the rooms look cosy and complete   - I wish I knew where to buy them! 

 

I've got a button jar as well  .....with all the matching buttons in little plastic bags so they don't get mixed up 

 

 

more PC World  

NOOOOOOO! 

That;s my sister!  Gorgeous home, not a thing out of place and if you eat a biscuit you eat it over a paper towel so as not to spill crumbs!

 

My house is well decorated but messy as hell when the kids can't get out to play.  Toys and books everywhere and nearly every room has a toybox which is more often empty than full because they pull everything out at onece   When they're at school and the OH is at work it's tidy but come 3pm it all goes south.

 

I don't have ornaments/books/things on counters but don't dare open any cupboards

I loved me old Nan's Button Tin.......I feel guilty cos I haven't got one.

 

I have kept all the carp out of Christmas Crackers  for the grandkids to fiddle with tho  

Yeah, me too!

 

My cousin is quite arts and crafty - I suggested she uses them to create pictures or something - she certainly isn't going to throw them away so she may as well!
