Now I'...Firstly, I have been reading your posts. Now I've got time to comment! Yeah! <br />I am SOOO excited about your forever home. I know how much you two want and deserve it.<br />We saw 2 Muntjac deer on a lovely walk we did in September. They ran across the path in front of us. Such moments make my heart swell with happiness and joy. We are so lucky to live with such wonderful nature.<br />The beautiful frosty moments have also provided such moments of 'stand and stare'. I enjoyed looking out over the woods in our School grounds. We have a beautiful selection of trees and they looked enchanting yesterday morning.<br />Thanks for detailing this new challenge. It has come at a perfect time for me. I probably need to buy some new clothes for my 33 for much of my wardrobe doesn't fit and may not for some time. <br />Keep up the wonderful and entertaining posts!<br /><br />Sft xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545087114808861192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-48632312231270596842012-12-13T18:08:38.226+00:002012-12-13T18:08:38.226+00:00I would love to have heated water drinkers for the...I would love to have heated water drinkers for the chickens, you can buy pads to sit the containers on, but unfortunately, the only ones I have found are electric and as the birds are not near a source of power these would be no good. So I carry hot water over from the house for them.<br /><br />It's no great hardship, a lot less carrying than I used to have when I had to carry hot water backwards and forwards to defrost the pig troughs as well.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-33197124689154113232012-12-13T18:03:13.339+00:002012-12-13T18:03:13.339+00:00I have never been able to master knitting socks, I...I have never been able to master knitting socks, I only ever got to making square things!!<br /><br />Thank goodness for Frugal Mummy, thanks to her my tootsies are now cosy in my wellies.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-51123257623892757642012-12-13T18:01:53.656+00:002012-12-13T18:01:53.656+00:00Haha...I love the idea of your differing wardrobe ...Haha...I love the idea of your differing wardrobe being just a hat!!<br /><br />I don't have to count pyjamas, underwear, gym wear or workwear in my 33 thank goodness.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-79609067033073328032012-12-13T17:58:42.236+00:002012-12-13T17:58:42.236+00:00I really hate that overwhelming feeling, and know ...I really hate that overwhelming feeling, and know it only too well.<br /><br />Even 3 days into this challenge I am feeling lighter and now that I've just finished sorting out the 33 (yes,I just this minute finished) I keep peeking into my new streamlined wardrobe....it's brilliant.<br /><br />Well done you on having so little, I don't think I could get down to 20!!<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-8429393640353471742012-12-13T17:45:44.061+00:002012-12-13T17:45:44.061+00:00It's so easy to hang on to stuff isn't it,...It's so easy to hang on to stuff isn't it, this time I am being ruthless, it is either being worn, will be worn or will be going.<br /><br />Ruthless ..... that's me at the moment!!<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-81541602403751908562012-12-13T17:44:22.026+00:002012-12-13T17:44:22.026+00:00Even though I'm doing Project 333, I am only g...Even though I'm doing Project 333, I am only getting rid of stuff I really will never wear, and that will be sold at a car boot next Spring.

No need for a summer and winter wardrobe in Orkney - I wear the same clothes all year round. In summer I just take my hat off!

I have been feeling rather overwhelmed with lots of things coming into the house lately (cleaning out ma in law's house, she's gone into care and the house is sold) so at least sorting through and decluttering my clothes is something that I can get control of and feel good about! I removed the winter things from the wardrobe, counted the clothes, around 20, so that's good but I think I'll desist from counting my costume jewellery otherwise I would be waaayyyyy over! I wear a lot of black so I like a bit of accessorising for colour :)<br />Cheers Judy xxJudy Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143303275859311603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-45782467580416329522012-12-13T12:12:51.007+00:002012-12-13T12:12:51.007+00:00Fascinating frosty photos Sue, this is something t...Fascinating frosty photos Sue, this is something that I will never see in Australia.

There isn't enough hanging space in the wardrobe, so 'out of season' stuff goes in a plastic trunk at the bottom. <br /><br />I don't restrict it to 33 items, but I do clear out stuff that I'm unlikely to wear again. I've so many clothes that I bought when I was working that for me it makes sense to keep them and slowly wear them out, rather than needing to buy new. rusty duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238493821002258459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-22211245849509131142012-12-13T11:25:25.644+00:002012-12-13T11:25:25.644+00:00Very impressed with your de-cluttering.
