| Pronouns | She/her |

| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | Don't thrift shop. |
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | Anger at spouse who keeps buying kitchen gadgets and then a sinking depression. That leads to retail therapy on my part to lift myself out of it. And that causes spouse to purchase more! It's a real chicken and egg situation with each of us blaming the other, lol. Enough blame and shame to go around. Yeah, the cycle seems to be anger, depression, retaliation, shame, repeat! |
| How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain? | At least once a year |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | Always? Maybe I'm in the wrong group <grin> |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Any tips for breaking the "couple clutter dance?" Maybe we could work on a less emotionally charged area of the home to work together on?: Haven't tried that. |
