Ah i dunno what to do, my kids have ALOT of clothes i realized, and i have one cabinet for all there stuff but alot of it is sitting out on the couch, i got stuff off ebay to for jordynne some is 12 mths so it doesnt fit her yet, i dont know what to do with all of it, i dont know where to put it, josephs stuff was upstairs for a while but since i hardly go up there unless hes going for a nap or bedtime i have all his stuff down here. Im at a loss of what to do with it, i had it in plastic dressers but those looked horrible and no where to put em. Not to mention all the toys everywhere alll the time, i already have bags of em in the basement. Im just at a loss of where to put everything my house lookes like a cluttered mess even when its clean because we dont have alot of storage. nor do i have money for any of those things. Its driving me crazy with all this junk and no where to put it Sad. i dont even have closet space to hang stuff down here. any ideas?? i like to be organized, i try to be , it makes it neater but right now it looks like a huge gigantic mess of toys and clothes all over and im lost

umm..
they have big plastic bins...
that have lids and rollers that are pretty cheap at wal mart
thats what i keep all of my extra clothes in and roll 'em under my bed
but i bet (if you have space under) you could fit 'em under your couch
that'd get 'em out of the way and out of plain sight..

idk that's just what i do... Smile

yeah i got no space under my couch , or under my bed! hehe, we got a box spring and matress from a neighbor and we were gonna put it upstairs btu the ceiling got in the way so the box spring wouldnt go upstairs, oru room is on the same floor as the living room so we ended up putting that in our room and moved the bed in our room upstairs. so now i got no underneat to my bed Sad, i wanna keep the clothes on this floor because its more of a pain to go upstairs to get them clothes and stuff and i doubt after washing the stuff that theyd make it back upstairs.
oh no walmarts here either Sad wich sucks

I wish I had some ideas for you. I've got the same problem, no space, no closet space, not enough room for enough dressers. I'm actually going through my stuff a little at a time and ruthlessly cutting down. Once I get everything sorted I'm giving it all to the goodwill just because I'm sick to death of clutter.

I read an article that walmart didn't do too well in Germany because German people didn't like it. I read that German people thought that the food at Walmart was too expensive (since they have Aldi's, which by the way I love) and that they didn't like the Walmart greeters or anyone bagging their stuff for them so it folded up.

yeah its definatly a change with no walmart, at my parents we had a super walmart right across the street! open 24 hrs, that was the best i soo miss that.
I went through stuff before maybe go through it agian, jordynne mighta grown out of some stuff probably. joseph has like 100 shirts of 2t and 3t that fit him. if i had a goodwill here i would give them some stuff, the thrift shop is small, so haha i think if i brought all the extra stuff i have here they would be bombarded, me and my friend are thinking about selling on ebay but thats alot of work to get it shipped out in a timely manner etc and i procrastinate so i dont think that would go over well.
we dont have any dressers in the kids rooms, i dunno if we will buy any here or just wait till we go to the states. the closets here are soooo small usually master bedrooms have walk in closets in the states anyways here its not like that. i just man , i dont wanna bring the clutter back to the states , we have alot in the basement now and none of it gets touched really , maybe my neighbor will wanna do a yard sale but last time she did one she only made 30 bucks so not alot of people go to yard sales here either so its a bummer Sad ahhhhh

yeah they are totally differnt, u bring your own bags to stores and bag it yourself, they are soo not lazy here like the states, ive been to aldis once but that was a yr ago when i first got here so cant remmeber the prices etc. there is a walmart a couplehrs away but it isnt the same as the walmart im used to, never been there either to the one here that is.
i think the germans jus tdidnt like people doing everything for them and i dunno walmarts to americanized lol

yeah, i laughed when i read that they felt "threatened" by the Walmart greeters. Different strokes, huh? I admit that I don't like them either, they get on my nerves but I can't say I've ever felt threatened by them. But then again, I'm not German.

hehe maybe they dont like being stopped on there way out shopping or the nice hello on the way in wich is odd because most germans are nice people so i would think theyd love the greeters lol not feel threatenned by them unless of course they do what they do in the states and check bags when you leave maybe they dont like people lookin at there stuff haha i dunno.

yeah, the check my bags thing ticks me off royally. It's like, "Gee, not only did I steal the merchandise but I stole bags to put it in and the receipt for it all too!" Rolling Eyes

They have kind of heavy plastic bags that you can buy or order now that you can put alot of things in them and suck up all of the air with your vacuum cleaner that take up very little space and your clothes do not wrinkle much at all.
We have stores like that where you bring your own bag or use there's and you bag your own groceries. I think the stores like it because they don't have the clerks bagging them and it saves the store money. Alot of stores have it so that you check yourself out. Sometimes I like to bag my own groceries as sometimes the baggers or checkers do not know how to bag groceries but I know that if you have little one's with you it is not to easy to bag your own.

They are either called space bags or space-saver vacuum bags and yes, they are water proof, allergin and moth proof, I looked them up under air-tight bags but I bought some and they are great!
