I bought 2 lots of linen storage bags from Avon (they often have good storage ideas) to pack all my spare pillows, cushions, blankets, and linen into. I packed all my winter clothes into one suitcase, and all Jonathon's winter clothes into another suitcase, packed another suitcase full of sleeping bags, and then rested the linen bags on top. It is packed in pretty tight, but at least it doesn't all fall out when you open the door like it used to when it looked like this:
Hilarious! And scary. I managed to send on 4 blankets, a woollen underlay, and 4 pillows to different pastures, and found proper homes for all the extraneous clutter. I'm glad that's done!

Good job!! It's a good feeling when the closets are all neat and tidy, isn't it?! I actually wrote a poem about it the last time me and hubby cleaned out ours!! ^_^ {But what DON'T I write a poem about?!! LOL}
