I bet my weekend is more awesome than yours

Cause you know what I'm doing? I'm pulling EVERYTHING out of my wardrobe (which is pretty big), and then I'm scrubbing the walls. Cause I have mould >:(

Tomorrow, I'm going to prune before restocking the wardrobe, at least 10% is not going back. Preferably 20%. I'm going to be ruthless (which since I'm a packrat, doesn't come easily).

My life is non stop excitement, people!

Oooh! Good luck on the pruning. I used to be a packrat, but I've discovered the joys of getting rid of stuff. It feels SO GOOD. Almost in a dirty way. Be brutal!

I know I need to declutter.

But it feels so wasteful to get rid of things just because I haven't worn them in 3 (or 4, or 5) years - you never know when you might get around to using them!

I've got a couple of boxes of crap stored in there too, that's where I know I have to be ruthless (wtf video tapes of The Sentinel? why am I keeping you? I will never use this - dvds and avis are my new overlord now).

LOL, I'm doing the same thing! I have got to do something about my t-shirt collecting problem.

About the mould: me too. Get one of those little buckets with the moisture-collecting pebbles and stick one in your wardrobe. Mine has an AMAZING rising damp problem that fills those buckets to the top with water every six weeks, and they're a bit pricey, but my shoes are no longer mouldy.

I've had two in there, one done with the shoes, one in the area above the hanging space. The problem for me is that my wardrobe doesn't get shut up, so they're collecting moisture from my bedroom too, in effect. But hopefully they're helping a bit.

I was not happy at how much mould I could see once I pulled everything out. Hopefully a 1 in 4 dilution of bleach wiped over all the walls does the trick.

Good luck with being ruthless!

It sounds like fun to me. I love to purge and I am lucky enough to have people pay me to purge. It is a sickness. :)

Wanna come finish it off for me? I've lost the will to sort.
