True Tupperware lovers don't chuck out containers or lids who have lost their mates. We order replacement parts. Now those old margarine, ice cream and sherbet tubs are a different story. Adios! Dipo, Happy Belated! I think I saw an infomercial about that squeegee thingy one wee hour of the night once. Let us know how it's working out. Well, the master bedroom is almost done. A couple of touch up spots and the window frame, then I'll be allowed in there to spit shine the rest and get it ready for our company. Bedroom #2 is in the works, but won't need quite as much work. It was done a few years ago.

Wait, wait...but what if we use those things??? I use even the beat up ones cuz of taking food back and forth to my aunt and no one laugh, but those lids with no bottoms I use as plates for the littlest kids! I don't have plastic plates anymore since my kids got old enough to use glass ones, but I don't want to give my nephew and middle neice the glass oens. I can't!!!

I seem to have worked myself free of the duct tape! I need to bypass Flylady until I get everything else squared away. Today my goal is to clean out the 3rd bedroom, find better places for the kitty litter pans, and set up the futon I got from Target.

War, if you use 'em, you keep 'em. Since I don't like giving my Tupperware out of the house, I have started to save the containers you buy grapes and tomatoes in. They come in handy when giving pieces of cake etc. to take home. Even that certain lady wouldn't deny us that. She just wants to rid us of the clutter we *don't* use. ETA: Hermi, "flying" is not a carved in stone kinda thing (at least not for me). It doesn't matter all that much that you do exactly what's on the flight plan. As long as you are doing *something*, it counts.

There is no way I would laugh at that idea, War. Y2, did he mean plastic stuff or plastic in your wallet? Oh to have wood floors would be a dream. Sounds like a good goal, Hermi. Lumbele, I do not remember the last time I was at a Tupperware party, it's been a long time ago. Pampered Chef is what's happening around here these days.

Well that's good to hear! I don't have real tupperware, I have a ragtag collection of everything. The nicer plastic containers and bowls with lids, the gladware stuff, and yep the cntainers we get when we buy lunch meat or the Country Crock mashed potatoes or mac n cheese. I love them all. Besides taking my aunts dinner to her, Darren takes left overs to work, the kids use the small bowls for applesauce to take to school (and once those leave, I almost never see them again, lol,) sending my nephews lunch home, or goodies with the other kids. They're so handy to have.

Fine. I knew that would be her answer. LOL! How about the rest of you? I also got annoyed with my bulging dishtowel drawer and weeded out an entire bag of perfectly good linens. I'm sending them to camp...same with hand towels and extra facecloths. Enough is enough.

I'm with you Hermi ... I threw it all away. I'm all about 'down sizing', if I'm not using it, it's gone.

But we *do* use it, VNick. My freezer is full of the stuff, loaded of course. So are my cupboards and fridges. My adult son's friends still return my Tupperware on a very timely basis. From childhood, they have known when it comes to Tupperware Mrs.lum doesn't have a sense of humour.

nick, i cook for 4, even if there are 3 of us, so that I/holly can have the meal as lunch the next day. we also grow our own tomatoes/peppers/herbs so i'm preserving sauces in the freezer. also i made a bunch of plum and apricot jam this year. i use every piece i get. and if i can get those pie tins from nation's or marie callendar's i save them until thanksgiving every year where i donate up to 20 pies to the napa women's shelter.

Whoo hoo! I accomplished my goals! Well... the futon is out of the box and in the room, but not quite set up yet. However, I found a better place for the kitter litter pans and I cleaned the room and all is well in my world! Hope everyone else had a good day as well!

Yay, Hermi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it great to see things come together? You'll have to tell me all about what it feels like, because I seem to be dreading water waiting to swoop in after the painters are done. Hate it when there are unexpected delays. Ah well, plan B, I guess.

Now I can tell just how weary Lum is if she's dreading water.

With Elizabeth moving out in the next few months, the guys decided they wanted a sports room in her bedroom. I don't know what the heck that is but I'm leaning into making it a library for me. I'll get a few more bookshelves and a nice overstuffed chair and have my own little space.
