Clutter!!

Post by Northern Lass »

I hate Clutter!
A place for everything and everything in its place.

I have spent most of the day sorting out Wolvie's clutter, boxes of it
he stuffs everything into anything!!

So he has been to the tip and is in a sulky mood!
He will be even sulkier later as it is double corrie! :lol:

Does your other half hoard stuff, are they messy or really organised

I can't belive that Wolf Man has let you sort out his "clutter" my wife is always telling me to sort my stuff and let me tell you i have a lot!!
Heaven forbid she did it for me.It would soon be obvious who wore the trousers i can tell you!!!

One man's clutter is another man's organised chaos.

I know exactly which pile of seemingly unrelated items any specific item resides so if my wife tries to tidy them up I burst into tears and she leaves them alone.

She did try and convince me to organise them into themes like "Junk, Useless Junk, Even More Useless Junk" etc.

And to think I lied last time she asked "Does my bum look big in this?"

I suppose it wasn't really a lie when I said "No" because I was really thinking "Not big......HUGE!".

Mark, you forgot the "Might Come In Handy One Day" pile.

NL, in our house it's MY clutter. I just can't bear to throw anything away ... and I keep accumulating more handy gadgets that I never use, each time I visit a $2 shop. I think one day I shall have to just walk away from it. Brian says our house is sinking under the weight of it all.

My other half does indeed have a habit of being rather messy, and it drives me insane. So much so that if I'm alone, rather than relax etc I'll spend my time putting all of her clutter into boxes and hide the stuff. Our spare room is slowly turning into what can only be called an archive room for her things, however it makes me happy that the living room and study are both clear of what can only really be called crap.

My other half is not messy or a collecter of clutter he thinks I am a collecter of clutter probably because it's all in the garage in box, the house is free from mess and clutter , well apart from one cupboard of mine and when I think all my clutter is family history stuff and I don't class that clutter. :roll:

Do you really burst into tears?
