		<description>What a transformation! Wonder if I could manage the same? Hum... just had a look at cupboards overflowing with old toys, bits of wood, breadmaker, husband's old lego (don't ask) and have to conclude, sadly, the answer is no. Never mind. Well done on your new broom. What marvellous feng shui you'll have!</description>

		<description>Vicky - purges are all I do. It's consistent tidiness I can't manage. I'm just not willing to put in the time.

beta mom - it would be, if it looked like that more often than three times a year.

Caroline - start as you mean to go on, don't let your life flounder in mounds of plastic nonsense. Chuck it out while you still have the chance.</description>

		<description>This must have taken you ages.  I love having purges but my husband and kids don't really go for my zen minimalist creations - in minutes, the chaos reappears :(  I can't recall the number of unidentifiable plastic pieces I have thrown into the bin.  Who creates all this stuff?  Anyway, today was good because my house is tidy - bribing the kids with sweets worked a treat!</description>
