Cleaning Up

This Easter long weekend has been a cleaning up weekend. Dad's coming back soon and we thought we better do some cleaning otherwise when he comes back, he'll see the same mess and then he'll do the cleaning for us - which we wouldn't want him to because he just chucks everything.

So J & I had to bite the bullet. We did mum's wardrobe.. took some clothes that we could wear (actually found quite a few cool stuff!) and store the rest.. Didn't want to chuck anything away. It was really hard.. Looking at the empty wardrobe just made it more real that mum is not with us anymore.. It was really heart breaking. But we pulled through together and we finished cleaning after 3 hours. I took another few hours cleaning out my own wardrobe so I could fit in all the clothes I took from mum =P My wardrobe looks sooooo clean and tidy now! I even got more space! But no more shopping.. argh. I think I've got enough clothes for the next few seasons...but that's what I say now. I'm sure I'll see something and then want to buy.

The same with the shoes. Inherited a lot of mum's.. but man, I have a lot of shoes!!! I did indulge in a pair of gorgeous Italian-made boots yesterday from DJ's. I would've never splurged that much but I'm sure mum would've approved =) It's about time I move away from the $50 boots or shoes.. and start wearing decent ones! Tee hee Less is more.. Quality not quantity haha Is that enough justification? =)

So now.. cleaning out our CD/DVD collection. Far out.. so much cleaning up! But I think it's a great use of the long weekend because we end up living better and neater and with more space for other stuff haha =)
