Welcome to our second Marie Kondo video: the part where we go through books...

We're moving house and it is getting out of control.

You don't need to have seen the first video to enjoy this one, but I'll leave a link in the description.

If you don't know already- because you don't watch Netflix, read newspapers, magazines,

use Twitter, Instagram, or have access to the internet...

Hello! I'm honoured you've chosen this video as your first foray into the online space.

It's variable. Pick wisely; don't send your bank details to anyone.

Marie Kondo and her method of tidying up, known as KonMari,

is the latest craze to sweep the interwebs and bleed into our real lives.

I explained more about Marie's methods in video one, but to break it down:

throw lots of stuff away, keep stuff that makes you happy, neatly arrange it.

Rather than go room by room, she encourages that you take all of one type of item

In video one, we did clothes and gave away ten bags of things.

C: Yeah... Well, I mean we did them in the sense that we got--

C: To be fair, we could probably go through them again.

J: I mean, we've not got down to the Marie Kondo 30.

C: No, yeah. J: It was the whole like internet drama because  people were like:

J: [angrily] 'How dare you tell me to give up my books?! Arghh!'

J: But she didn't say that. She just said she likes to have thirty.

C: OK. It takes me a long time to just read one book, so... I've kept all the books that I like.

C: It's like am I actually gonna read them again? Like why do we keep them?

J: So, instead...we could look at other areas, like...

[Bells jingling] J: I could do the Christmas decorations!

[Bells jingling] J: In the special boxes that I bought for them, because I really, really want to put them in there! [Bells jingling]

C: Yeah, we could do, like, that. They're in the loft, so we could just start sorting out the loft.

C: I'm a little bit scared about that.  J: The loft is a place of terror, let's be honest.

J: We've put a lot of things up there. C: Yeah.

C: I mean, to the point that our ceiling feels like it might, at any point, fall in on our head.

C: The whole point is that we need to clear it, and organise it, and then it'll be...safe and tidy!

Told you so. Since there isn't exactly a lot of space, we were left with the question of...how to sort things.

J: So, there are two modes of thinking. We don't have a lot of floor space up here.

J: So, either, we gather items of every category - which is the Marie Kondo way, I know

- and we take them downstairs and look at them there.

J: Ooor, we just go with everything we can reach

J: But! That's not really the Marie Kondo way and I don't know that we'll actually...

C: I feel like we just need, like, a box to put things in.

C: At the moment, we haven't even got anywhere to put stuff.

C: Also, the whole issue is that we're stuck in a loft, so I can't, like, pass things down.

C: I need to at least put it into a box, and then be able to then pass the boxes down.

[Bells jingling] J: If we collect all the Christmas things...

J: and take them down, and then we can sort them.

C: And then maybe I just put things into a bin bag that, like, we don't want.

C: And then we can sort them out downstairs.  J: Yeah!

J: We can do this. We can do this. It's going to be OK.

J: I promise you, it's going to be OK; we're gonna make it out!

J: Or we'll just live in the loft from now on. Hi.

J: We'll just live here, aaand we will work purely by live streaming from here. Please bring food.

Honestly, I just really, really wanted to sort the Christmas decorations into the cool storage boxes that I bought specifically for the purpose!

J: Less dangerous slash terrifying, that's what we're going for... in terms of cleaning our loft.

Why did we think this was achievable in one day? Why did we stray from Marie's path?

By the way, we're thinking of doing a house tour before we go.

I'm going to include a question card!  *Snaps fingers*

So you can tell me if you fancy watching that.

C: Yeah, loft conversions are really popular these days.

C: But y'know, you gotta think, where are you gonna put all your stuff?

C: I think actually the main issue, and the whole point of Marie Kondo, is you shouldn't have that much stuff.

C: To shove into our attic. J: We shouldn't have so much stuff!

J: Why do we have so much stuff? It's very distressing.

C: If it's in your attic, you're not using it daily.

C: The only things you should keep in the attic are...

C: But, to be honest, we shouldn't have that many clothes that we have to put a rotational amount.

C: Yeah, winter coats.  J: I put them up there in winter--summer.

C: Yeah, yeah. OK. And like hats and gloves and things could just be up there,

C: 'cause they don't need to be in your closet through summer.

C: And the other thing is, like, suitcases.

J: Well currently there's an extra bed up there.
