Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I have cancelled my subscription to Simply Knitting and resolved not to buy Simply Crochet. That way I won't fill the house with magazines and start buying yarn to make things when I have a houseful of projects to start/finish.

We finished decorating the spare room before Christmas, and at the weekend hubby finally moved his record collection from the office (also known as the dumping ground!) up to the spare room. Today I took advantage of the subsequent appearance of empty floorspace in the office to rearrange the furniture and although I haven't actually got rid of anything from there, my clutter is much less cluttery and more 'piles of stuff-y' and a enough space to walk in the room and get to the desk without stepping on anything :-)

And the piles of stuff look much less daunting than the general clutter that was in there before, so I may even tackle some of it tomorrow :-)

Cyclops - some of the stuff I uncovered was bags and bags of wool, and several incomplete projects, which I have resolved to work through before bringing any more yarn into the house!!

I gave in and bought that book from the Japanese wifey about only keeping things that spark joy. Initially thinking it was a lot of tosh, I'm reduced to thinking just a wee bit of tosh. I have used the concept since Friday and have sent 3 binbags and 1 bulging ikea bag of clothes, 2 boxes of bric-a-brac to the charity shop. There are 3 rubble bags of books in my car waiting to go to charity bin, and the rubbish bin is full.

I have only scratched the surface, as I have stuff my mum gave me sitting in my garage that I reckon I'm going to get rid of as well.

It's stupid common sense as well, why did I need 3 trifle bowls, no idea. Never mind that they were a bugger to fit in the cupboard and I used the same one all the time anyway.

My mind is boggling at anyone having even one trifle bowl :) And wondering wtf one is!

I have a trifle bowl...and I only ever want it at Christmas time, which is fortunate, because it's in NZ...not somewhere I can pop to & get it when required.

It's a crystal glass bowl, quite pretty. From my granny, who made the best (read: booziest) trifle ever.

Actually, my mum makes a damn fine trifle too. She gets here in about 5-6 weeks :-)

I have a trifle bowl too. Have to say I don't use it *all* that often... but I wouldn't be without it ;-)

GF has lined up a load of books for the charity shop. DVDs to follow - she's suddenly got into the whole decluttering vibe! Wooo!

We're going to get the custom shelves finally installed next week. Then we can empty all the boxes we still have full and get rid of loads of stuff.

I make limoncello trifle in mine, very boozy and so good, it gets requested a few times a year. it's also a good size for a tiramisu.
