I'm a hoarder ....



As I was doing some household cleaning today I was looking at some of the items I was washing, mainly cups, bowls, plates etc and I was thinking about when I had acquired, bought them etc .. I had cups that I had when I was at uni 10 years ago .. each thing has a memory attached - a little story about where it came from, or when it was used, if something significant happened at that time in my life.



I keep everything, I'm such a hoarder, I have tons of old magazines at my mum and dad's (yes ... still) I have scraps of paper, concert tickets, hell when I was young I used to keep popcorn buckets from the cinema if I had seen a particularly good film!!!





I love being able to look at stuff and remember different aspects of my life, good memories and the bad!
I know some people whose house's are "junk" free and minimalist - I guess this will never be me - I save peoples Christmas cards and tags for heavens sake!! :D





This was what I wore to work last Thurs - sorry for the delay in posting - my schedule is all topsy turvey this week!
I have to go to the docs on Thurs this week as my stitches STILL haven't dissolved - am NOT looking forward to going!!

Hope your all having a good week so far?


What I wore:
Trousers: Pilot.
Black top: Primark.
Stripey Tee: Cherokee @ Tesco.
Vest: Unknown.
Boots: Barrett's.

Me too - my family members all have a bad habit of saving way too many things, mostly memorabilia, that we really don't need. I've tried to grow less sentimental over the years and only save things that I know will mean something down the road.

I love this outfit, the vest is very cute. Ive been buying some new apartment decor and at times I look back at the stuff I acquired over the years. It was hard to replace my old baking pans, lol.
