HUMOUR I tried the Japanese method of decluttering where you hold every object that you own and if it does not bring you joy, you throw it away. So far I have thrown away all the vegetables, my bra, the electric bill, the scale, mirror and my teradmill.
Just had a policeman knock on my door saying he was looking for a man with one eye........ I told him to use both as he'd probably find him a lot quicker.
I put my Scale in the bathroom corner and that's where the little liar will stay until she apologises.
