I don't think I have anything left to declutter.Do you read book series, and if so, do you feel compelled to read to the end, even if the quality of the books has declined?
Loooove that pic Susan! Have got too much of the stuff Brenda!! I have stopped buying though.. It reminds me of books?!I only have started two (big) series and they HAVE to be in order!
What made you smile today?
I smiled at the Susan's cupboard pic!! I am between houses at the moment and am staying with my son. We have stuff in our room, in our truck and in storage, so I definitely relate!!In the same vein, what's your funniest memory?
Sitting down at my wedding and new hubby forgot to hold chair still and train of dress pushed the chair out from under me and I ended up on my butt. He didn't notice and the only wedding guest that saw it was my aunt. I was faster than superwoman getting to my feet.Have you ever re-gifted a present?
Yes. Mostly in laws that don't know me well enough to know what I like.. I won't waste!! It's crazy. How bout a book voucher? I'm thinking of suggesting ox-fam or something, they could buy a goat????What do you love to give as gifts?
Books - always books - even to my non-book loving relatives. I usually get them a book AND something - but always a book.If you have them - do you buy your pets Christmas presents? If not - do your friends buy them for their pets?
i have gotten my cat expensive cat food once...and years ago whiskers sent a present for one of my furboys.Do you have an all time favorite drink?
English Breakfast tea. ( non alcoholic) Red Corvette cocktail ( alcoholic) - had it once and never have forgotten it.What is the oldest thing in your wardrobe and why do you keep it?
Probably my numerous boots, have to hold onto the boots, you'll never know when the cycle will change and they'll be back in vogue!What is something that you keep buying, even though you have enough?
I do this with a few things :( Mostly tshirts.. I've enough but when i see one i really like I'll try n reason it out in my head..ahaha :|Speaking of clothes....Do you wear your clothes until they are old or do you toss n replace quickly?
I hang on to clothes for ages, then keep worn-out pants and T-shirts for cleaning/gardening.Are you into the Melbourne Cup?
Not really but i sometimes go into the sweep at work when there has been one just for the heck of itDo you always like to be busy?
Noooo.... I like time for quiet contemplation, and maybe a little nap!Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
More intro than extro.Do you use online storage for photos?
No, use an external hd. Do you print photos often?
Nope..Last one I printed was...uhm...??Do you ever have days where nearly everything goes wrong?

Toss up between peas and Brussel sprouts.
What food do you try and steer clear of for health reasons?
Sweet breakfast cereal, it drives me nuts that even the so called healthy ones are still so sweet tasting. Full of sugar!Do you avoid bookshops/libraries if you have too many books to read?
No, it's never stopped me before!Do you spend ages poring over reviews, or choose books on the spur of the moment?
Both - I have been known to be spontaneous when choosing books, either in bookshops or the library - the cover lures me in - then the blurb teases my imagination - and the next thing you know book and I are walking out hand in hand!!!what is your party piece dessert - the one dessert you know you can do well so when guests come over that's what they get?
