Charlottechicken Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Why oh why does the junk fairy target my house? I don't buy 'stuff' so where does all the junk come from? Now I can't get in to the spare bedroom to get to my Christmas decorations, and I so wanted to put the wreath on the door. I need to get to the sewing machine (I know it's in there somewhere!) got a chicken doorstop to make too! Mind you, she's also been busy in my shed, so she is obviously at home on my property, I just wish she would go away and find someone else to dump her junk on! Got the afternoon and all weekend to kick her and her junk out before going back to work on Monday. Does she visit anyone else on a regular basis?

Cate in NZ Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 She's already been here I need to clear a bit of space for the Christmas tree...... I can't work out how we've acquired so much clutter this year I may need to suspend my Christmas tree from the ceiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 She's bee here too, depsite several de-junking episodes. My shed is now so full that stuff falls out when I open the door The junk (well OK chicken stuff, aubiose, food bin....) holds everything in the shed so you can't actually walk in it anymore. Things just fall between the gaps as I lean in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well, at least she only visits your houses! think yourselves lucky! She lives in mine all year round and she's an absolute nightmare to live with too! Well there must be more than one then - I thought she lived here In fact we have so much junk and mess that ours must be male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Is that the male junk fairy who leaves stuff on the sides in the kitchen, cupboard doors open and wet wiping up towels scrunched up on the work surfaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 that's the one! - he also thinks that any objects on a work surface is glued down and any cleaning has to be done around them Mind you, I should be grateful that ours does attempt to clear up!

We have at least one junk fairy living at ours and I think a second one lives in our garage I keep thinking I need to evict her but hate the thought of fairies having to sleep on the streets Morag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 We have a specialist junk fairy in our house. It's specialism is carrier bags. It shoves them down the back of the books on the book shelf. Quite bizarre really. I keep leaving little reminders that we actually do have a carrier bag holder in the pantry, but it prefers the book shelf. I think the kitchen junk fairy must do the rounds. Mine loves leaving the marg and milk out in the morning and a couple of doors wide open, which it alternates every other day. I keep thinking I need to evict her but hate the thought of fairies having to sleep on the streets I wonder if Clare could squeeze her into her shed Morag?

Karen & co. Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm glad other people get visits from her or him I thought we had a whole flock of them here and after Christmas we have to move out into a smaller house while the extention is done, so that could be interesting karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I've got a feeling you might find junk that the fairy has been hiding from you Karen when you move out.....maybe you could throw the fairy in the skip with all the rubble when you move back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Oh, no, that sounds too much like cruelty to fairies I'm planning on tying mine to the top of the Christmas tree when I finally catch her That should keep her out of mischief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yes, I can see your point Kate. Maybe a bit of restraining ontop of the christmas tree is the kinder way to go about it. You could always leave it tied up till next year too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 The Junk Fairy is actually male and he used to live here Then I divorced him and all his junk just disappeared Sorry - couldn't resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Is the junk fairy the same or different to the sock fairy (eats bread and cake, steals single socks) the Christmas tree idea is a good one, although I think OH might claim there's no such thing and that in fact I was the fairy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I decided to do some investigation and try and track down my junk fairy.... I started in the garden and the trail of bin lid off, hose unreeled and shed unlocked led me into the hallway.... ....here the plastic bags dumped next to (not in ) the spare bag holder and the shoes in the middle of the floor led me to the kitchen..... ...I saw clear junk fairy evidence of activity in the form of marg left on side and bread left uncovered and then followed the tea drips on the floor trail to the living room.... ....the discarded dirty socks and opened, yet thrown on the floor letters pointed me to the hallway..... ....so I went upstairs following the trail of "things to be taken upstairs" that have been sat on the stairs for some time..... and found myself in the bedroom where my darling boyfriend was lying on the bed ON TOP OF a pile of clean clothes that need to be put away...... ...but he assures me he never saw any fairy!!
