Ornery's work bench is like that. I can clean it off and have all the stuff neatly stored in its proper place, and the next time I look, all sorts of riffraff has moved in! Tool sheds are like that, too. <br /><br />Why do we keep it? I think if we paid "good money" for something it is hard to let it go, even when it is broken. Personally, I am more of Belle's mentality--get it outtahere! but Ornery is a bit more clutch-fisted. <br /><br />Good luck with your purging. I can tell you, you'll have a new lease on life when it's all done!<br />tmorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-50876071476141386802010-09-13T04:30:05.608-05:002010-09-13T04:30:05.608-05:00It must be the season for having a clear-out.

I've just spent the weekend de-cluttering and it does feel good when you've finished and everything is looking tidier!

I get rid of stuff so quickly my family gets mad at me.<br />Mom and I just cleaned out her magazine racks and she had some from 2006.

I've not moved in 9 years, so it's looming. My plans are to move in Feb. 2012. I need to get busy. First thing I need is a dumpster the size of a railroad car.Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167633465853736197noreply@blogger.com
