Now it's your turn, can you relate to any of these? Tell me some random things about YOU in the comments below.
Have a wonderful week,

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. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a little random Suzy! Thanks for sharing. I love reading other people's random facts too.
DeleteLove your random facts, thanks for sharing, always a great way to come across a new blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rhianna.
DeleteI used to love Chicken Crimpys as well. And Dixie Drumsticks.
ReplyDelete14 was also my fave number, it was my basketball shirt number!
That's so cool Deborah - thanks for sharing. 14 is such a good numbers - it's half my birth date too - (28th) - I'm all about connections.
DeleteNice 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from #teamIBOT x
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.
DeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
DeleteTo 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.
