★ 30-Day Organize-athon | Day 16

Hi

Well tonight is a different day

Todays challenge is

Organize Your Underwear    

Tonights was a good funny one actually  and a easy one as not long ago i went through my knicker drawer and tossed out all the old knickers that i didnt like for some reason or other  I am paranoid about underwear thanks to my mum telling me i should always have clean undies on in case of a accident  

She said that if i have a accident all the ambulance men would look at my knickers and laugh and then it would be topic of conversation back at the station that night     

After talking to a few ambulance drivers i now know this is not true as underwear is the last thing they have on their minds but i am still not taking any chances 

My bra and sock drawer were also done and all the bras that didnt fit or i didnt like were either given to my daughter or sent of to bra heaven    

I now have enough of each for a week in case the washing doesnt get done for some reason and that is it  

After last nights challenge and clearing out a full bag of paperwork and rubbish out of the home office Darren started decluttering the home office fully     He started on it while i domestically started a few easter projects with Jalan getting ready for easter                                                                                                                                                                                                     First we started on making a carrot tree for the easter bunny  from a blog i had been reading on easter crafts   Ok so its something different  but really cool cheap easy and effective              

 

You need those bumpy pipe cleaners in orange  Each pipe cleaner makes 4 carrots 

 Then you are supposed to use embroidery thread but seeing as i dont do embroidery i had to find something else   A few years ago after easter i brought a lot of packets of this shredded stuff at 7 cents a packet (like a real lot of packets)  so decided to use it and cut it into the required lengths for the stalk of the carrot   Tied on some green cotton to tie them to the tree and with a few knots twists and magic we had a carrot  

 

Made 8 so far 

See reduced to 7 cents a packet lol

By this time due to the intricate tying of knots and fine finger work Jalan was getting bored so gave her a egg carton to start the next project with    

 

She is making the holders for our easter presents for the grandparents Cut the egg carton in half to give them a six pack of eggs each   She decided she wanted to paint the insides green and the outsides yellow   Somehow i think the outside should have been green and the inside yellow but it is her choice 

 She painted the inside of one and the outside of the other then we put them up to dry and started painting the plant pots for our easter trees 

 

                        After decluttering the computer end of the home office 

 

                                                             The other end 

 

We stopped for lunch and then went to help the MOTH who was struggling terribly with the home office task he was doing 

Needless to say the rest of the afternoon got taken up with decluttering in there  but  with 7 bags of paperwork taken out of the filing cabinet and everything reorganised into the correct folders we now have a nice neat filing cabinet that we can find everything in 

 The deadly 7   3 went to the bin and the other 4 after talking to a girlfriend today are going to be  buried in the back yard to turn it into compost

                                  Jalan having fun on all the paperwork and rubbish we took out 

Still curious as to why we kept so much paperwork in 2009 (like every single bill manual receipt letter envelope etc we ever had delivered by the postman)   2009 filled one shopping bag on its own   Dont tell the MOTH but he winges about me keeping rubbish and paperwork yet in one folder there was raffle tickets that he had brought in 1995   (My guess is he didnt win the raffle though)  Was interesting seeing all his outdated rubbish 

So once again a 5 minute task has turned into a full days project but it is all complete and there is actually room in the filing cabinet now for the rest of this years paperwork as we get it    Looks totally awesome too 

One good thing is we actually talk as well when we are doing stuff like this 

Sad thing today is our dog was hit by a car and is feeling very sore and sorry for herself tonight   Hopefully she is ok she is limping and sleeping a lot but we cant find any breaks so only time will tell if she is ok or not    Gutless wonder that hit her didnt even let us know so my guess it is the same revolting neighbour across the road who hit her last time in front of Jalan and threatened us if he ever saw her on the road again he would deliberately run her over and kill her  all because he was gardening one day and she went across the road and barked at him....he came over here and had a go at us over it  We said it is a dog and ummm yes they bark  

We try keep her in her own yard but she is like Houdini and as soon as we block any spot she gets out she finds another way 

 

Well thats it for tonight
