Oop… hairball on the bed. Thankfully I have a few doonas. I put a cover on a new one ready to swap out fast when she gets up.

Not a fan of these ‘space saver’ bags that don’t stay sealed or compressed. Also they’re large so you have to haul the bulky thing down and dig through. Not really working as intended… maybe I should just divide things into smaller stackable blanket boxes, and sorted in categories.

And declutter… I just wish I could find clothes that fit and are comfortable so I could cull all the ones I keep ‘just in case’.

Ugh I hate those vacuum bag things. You cram them full of blankets or whatever and then it's heavy as to do anything with. Also got to get the vacuum cleaner out every time you want to pull out a jumper or something. I found them too much of a hassle. I was mostly using them for toy plushies, jumpers and the like. I had better luck with those supermarket cooler bags with the zip tops: just big enough for me to put a few things in and lightweight enough for me to put in and out of the top of the wardrobe. I don't know why I had so many of them, but they came in handy lol.

That’s a good idea
