Tuesday Tip

Go to the wardrobe, open the doors and grit your teeth. It's time to get rid of the old favourites. You have to pretend you're Trinny and whats-her-name and ruthlessly chuck out the clothes you haven't worn for two years, the clothes that are too small - no, you won't loose weight and fit into them again, unless of course you're pregnant and even then it's doubtful - and the clothes that frankly, are just too awful, bad choices in the heat of the moment etc.
Here in Cape Town winter is yet to come, we have the dreaded August/September storms which for some reason always coincide with first Sion's and then Rowland's birthdays. Hmm. There will be more cold and rain and out there are many people who don't care how retro your clothes are as long as they are warm.
Jerseys, t shirts, skanky tracksuit pants or good quality, hardly worn garments that you shouldn't have bought, the recipient probably won't be too fussy, warm is warm.
Watching The Closer last night I was reminded that one man's junk is anothers treasure. I sweet lady once told me that the way to recognise her house was by the boat in the side garden. Well, she didn't recognise the treasure there because on The Closer they had an eighteen foot powerboat on the front lawn, it had been filled with water and was being used as a sort of jacuzzi.
I am THE biggest horder in the world - I think I prefer collector - so if I can do it, anyone can. Besides, if the economy picks up you'll have a good excuse to shop.
