[m i a o w] the cat

And furthermore on the topic of sorting oneself out is The Usable Home on Lifehacker which talks about little ways of decluttering your life and living spaces. I did a bit of that on Sunday.

…and by the way, is it just me that thinks that it always seems to be the girl in the m/f relationship that organises the presents and cards for friends/friend’s kids birthdays? I asked two female friends this the other day and they agreed that boys just don’t seem to take on the present and card buying thing. So what happens when guys are single? Do they just turn up giftless to BBQ’s and parties? Is it all a worldwide boys-club conspiracy? Or is it just another vital area missing from the brain of the hetero-male? (The missing areas deal with towels, asking your mother whether she made that cake from a packet, and an adequate standard of dishwashing. There may be others, but I won’t go on as my tangent is now longer than the rest of this post.)

Yep, agree with the tangent. I am the one who does the card and gift. This year family members got cards mailed to them - a first in many years and I think it generated a lot of smiles.
Decluttering… I’m going to have to start that. And now, while I’m off work and have the time!

Guys buy the person having a b’day a beer, or a round, or a slab, unless they are gay, gay men give great presents. Women do not think “I ll buy you a beer mate” is a suitable gift and therefore take on the responsibility, while the guy sits on his arse with his b’day beer and smirks to himself.
Decluttering is soul cleansing, really.
