Better storage and frequent trips to the charity shop have helped a bit. It's a constant battle! Greentwinsmummy seems to have the right idea. I'm liking the one in one out rule!

Although as they get older, the toys get less, but then they need more space for clothes!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428734866238643758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206114653235218607.post-17336904639266113702009-06-17T14:01:34.159-07:002009-06-17T14:01:34.159-07:00It was 5.30 for me this morning - ouch.

In the summer I am up & about alot later & therefore sleep a bit later so what happens is the smalls wake & come up to attic & crawl into bed with us,sometimes...they doze off,thats lovely,even if only get another15mins lol! but normally they wriggle & giggle & sleep is shoved aside for another day.<br /><br />I once saw a twin mum wearing a tee shirt sayng Sleep Is For The Weak lol lol that made me laff so much.<br /><br />Now! lol! those cupboards dearie,I bet you dont actually need half of whats in there,we never do,we have just become conditioned to think we cannot exist without x,y,z.<br />Use the 2 year rule,if you havent used it within 2 years,pass it on to someone else. <br /><br />I used to have a whole cupboard filled with glasses,now I have 6 tumblers6 wine glasses,2 pint glasses,6 tall water glasses & one odd brandy balloon lol! I can honestly say I dont even miss the ones I got rid of,if we even have a party then our pals wont mnd if their wine comes in a tumbler if all the wine ones are used up.<br /><br />Moving here was very cathartic for me,I had to let so much go,its so tiny here,theres a principle I work on,if something comes in the house then something goes out,if I buy a new mug then one goes out,if I buy a new shirt etc etc,same thing,one item goes out for one coming in. That stops it all building up.<br /><br />The problem with storage is things get packed away & never used,some storage is great & can keep things looking tidier,baskets are brilliant for that I find.But huge shelves,cupboards etc end up jammed to the gills just with a door shut on them.<br /><br />We dont need all this stuff people is my war cry lol!!!!<br />GTM x x x xGreentwinsmummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188409963517296708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206114653235218607.post-63554702409992368272009-06-13T12:27:30.734-07:002009-06-13T12:27:30.734-07:00I know what you mean.

We actually could swing a cat.....though luckilly we didn't have one to swing!!lisa ridgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665753077629354130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206114653235218607.post-54416822313924566902009-06-13T03:48:33.083-07:002009-06-13T03:48:33.083-07:00Tell me about it!

It is getting to the point where we DREAD christmas and birthdays for all the little things that they bring.<br /><br />I HATE giving anything to charity, although I always seem to be having a clear out and donating stuff to the local Red Cross shop - the reason I hate to donate is that I know that someone (usually me) has spent hard earned cash on something for the kids they they usually don't want, or certainly don't need!<br /><br />I think perhaps the secret might be a really good storage system....but the shape of our rooms means I can't for the life of me work out how to do this! I need a TV makeover!<br /><br />Have a great weekend xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313560807695855956noreply@blogger.com
