There's a poster that says

What
is
a
Marie
Kondo
and
where
can
I
get
one?


That made me laugh out loud,  and it also reminded me of a Calman cartoon - A woman is holding a placard which says Free Women Now! and a little man is standing in front of her meekly asking Can I have one?

What makes you laugh?

It made me smile too.
My daughter in law, inspired by the TV series, has set about her clothes and now has a collection of bagfuls waiting to be distributed.
I have used one of Marie's books to egg me into decluttering but not as fanatically as she does it.
All in all I prefer my own methods, one of which i am about to begin, a clean sweep through the drawers and cupboards to welcome in the spring.
One saying I use when doing this comes from a book called The Life Laundry; “If it makes you feel sad or guilty why keep it?”

Sadness, guilt or joy? A no brainer as they say Sue!

Making me smile at the moment: Watching a short video of two of my grandchildren (ages 3 and 18mo old) playing in 10" of snow. On film, my DIL asked the 3 yr old if she likes the snow and gets a smiling, unequivocal, Yes! Turning the camera to the 18 mo old, dressed like the abominable snowman and standing immobile in the snow depth, the response is not quite as delighted...as he growls out, Arrrgggghhhh!

Love that! So many things make me laugh... quite often my own stupidity or misfortune... like the time last January when I was having a sneaky pee behind a hedge just as the farmer appeared at the top of the field and I had to leap over the fence having managed to pull up my jeans but had left my thermal leggings somewhere round my knees and had to hobble across a field of oncoming dog walkers whilst trying discreetly to rescue them... not exactly a quick or dignified getaway!! Still makes me laugh to think of it!

The old style wool skirts for country walks had their uses when it came to quick pit-stops! As did tall walking sticks for helping to get up again!

I can see I need to rethink my wardrobe for these kind of eventualities!

I laughed out loud when i read that, Freda...what comes to mind for me is the time my husband (who does not cook!) decided to surprise me, and his cousins, by making an elaborate lunch, with several courses, and special summer drinks as well..his cousin’s response: Who are you? And what have you done with Fred?

Silly of me, i was not clear! What i meant was that fred’s cousin, who knew him so well, said that to him: who are you? (As in this cannot be Fred, doing such incredible cooking!)..so therefore..what have you done with the real Fred?

Matt always makes me laugh. I don't know how he does it. He's a genius.
