Magpie Tales 221 Hoarding

Thrift Shop courtesy of Tess Kincaid


Hoarding

It's in my way
I'm giving it away
Too much stuff
It's really rough
Because I know
As I give it a toss 
Sure enough
I'll need it tomorrow

  3. This is probably oh so true. We are uncluttering our lives and it's a wonderful thing.

    Have a fabulous day honey. Big hugs. :)

  4. That's the dilemma I am facing as I clean out my classroom. "But what if I need this next year?"

  5. So true. Down-sizing my lodgings dislodged a lot. Although I am learning the difference between needing it and missing it ;-0. I've often thought thrift stores were opened by those ingenious people who knew how to organize their hoarding into a business.

  12. Perfect. I finally had to make myself a rule: if I haven't used it in one year, out it goes. I have only ever regretted it once. (A record album I decided I wanted, after all. Oh well.)

  14. I've a whole storage unit full of such things! I've been trying to go through my old clothes and give away those I know I won't ever wear again...or those that have sentimental value.
    I'm hopeless.
    Thank you for visiting The Netherworld!

  15. The way I get around this dilemma is by thinking that I'm passing things on for someone else to love, so in theory it's not being tossed away! Great Mag!

  16. I am a hoader and I feel the same way, it will have a use someday :)

  17. Rule of thumb: if you haven't used it in a year (or three!), haven't thought about it, or forgotten that you even had it, then you don't NEED it!! (Although Murphy's Law does dictate that a need will turn up as soon as you get rid of it!)

  18. Ain't that the truth?

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
