While everyone is busy planning where to go for their holidays or what to bake/make, I’m having a huge headache trying to sort things out for the house. Didn’t realize how much stuff I've accumulated, and all hidden so well. Just realize I have an electric steamer?? When did I get this – not complaining because it could be useful especially for DH to steam his paos (and not burn my pots) but when exactly, can’t quite recall,
hm….
Thinking we needed some dinner plates, got some last week and only to realize that
hey I still have a whole set (and more) that we got for our wedding so many years ago, all still in their original boxes! Also discovered some wedding decoration presents and don’t know who they were from, even with the names inside the cards.
Sei mou? Perhaps they are DH’s friends, hm….better check with them.
Yes as you can tell, have accumulated A LOT of things over the years, all secretly tucked under storage with a thick layer of dust. M is also counting the days that I will finally remove all the stuff I've left at her place!!
*Soon ya* Thankfully not too many doubles except for storage containers which is fine as one could always do with more – erm, perhaps I shouldn't purchase those the other day? Oh well, too late.
Since we are sorting out things, guess its time to donate away some
a lot of Master Prince baby stuff from high chair, stroller, bath tub, clothes, etc. etc. Thought of at least one/two keep-sake but don’t know which one. Did you keep any of your baby stuff/clothes as keep-sakes?
Also noticed one thing while rummaging our storeroom and that is DH seems to have this tendency to keep empty boxes, lots of them – from empty pillow case boxes, tv boxes, basically anything that he has bought which has a box is in that room…..gathering dust!! Unbelievable. No wonder my sinus is going crazy and my eyes are all scratchy! We could definitely have a nice meal (
albeit cheap hawker fare) from the paper money collected.
So just in case you are wondering why I am so quiet here, maybe on a relaxing and fun holiday somewhere overseas….guess again – I’m actually rediscovering my muscles and trying not to twist my back in the process. Right now, having a headache trying to find a 'new home' for everything. So wishing for a wand right now, then I could just magically make everything go to its perfect place with a quick swish and wave! Ha ha ha
Hope to get the Xmas tree out before the actual day comes and goes…perhaps then I could save the tree for Chinese New Year and just hang the Chinese decorations instead?? Lolz….I know we will get there, just snail pace at the moment, late nights and early mornings :)
For those of you who have moved more than once - HOW DO YOU DO IT???
