  1. Chicken crimpys are the best! Love random facts. When I was 10 years old my parents took me to Sri Lanka and I ate bananas for the whole 3 weeks we were there. I was such a plain eater as a kid and that was the only thing I wanted to eat. Weird, slightly random fact. :)

  4. Nice to get to know you better Charlene! Hmm I won't show Miss 19 your #3 on this list or she'll want us to give her $$$ on her 21st too! My dream holiday was always to visit London and England - finally got to do it last year for 5 days when I was 48 and it was worth the wait :-)

    1. HAHA Janet. It worked for me and my four brothers. We were all 21 and over when we started having kids. I have one brother who doesn't have any kids. I know I will get to England/London one day...I will hold on to that dream.

  5. I loved getting to know you more my kiwi friend! I think I'm a hoarder but hide it behind cupboards. I'm currently going through a cleanout - it's so satisfying. Might have to start the konmari ways one day. Loving your progress Charlene. Is it easy to keep up?

    1. Thanks Jo! I have found since I started the KonMari journey, all of that 'stuff' I hoarded in our cupboards has actually gone - because I have sorted by category not by location. The items either have a new home or went in the bin. It's really nice to have a wardrobe for clothes and shoes only.

      To be honest, I think if I didn't blog about my KonMari journey I would be finished by now, but I am really glad I have documented it because I get to see how far I have come. As you know, it takes a while to create a post so it has kind of set me back a bit and at times, I found it more overwhelming than actually doing the process! Does that make sense? Once I have finished the method, I will be going back through the categories and organising my areas properly until it 'clicks'.

      If you feel you are READY for this method, I highly recommend it.
