Kondo-minium

[davidgillon]

My mother is sweeping through my house like an 80yo Northern Marie Kondo. Typical conversation:

Mam: Why have you got so many clothes?

Me: Because you keep buying them for me.

Mam: You still have far too many.

I'm just nodding a lot and agreeing that stuff can go to charity shops or the tip. The British Heart Foundation are sending a van tomorrow to pick stuff up, I hope it's a big one.

It is one of my life goals to never, ever let my mother in my house! This is why.

(She refuses air travel and is on another continent, so...)

She used to come down once a year, so it wasn't quite so traumatic, but this time it's five years since she's been, so even stuff she's seen before is getting the 'why have you got so much stuff?' treatment. Lovely to see her, but tiring!
