Things that survive decluttering – no sparking of joy whatsoever

Six-pack abs six feet under

Not long after I got married, I was seduced by an advertisement for an Abflex. The advertisement promised six-pack abs if only you used this contraption.

I bought it and used it long enough to not see any results.

So why, I wonder, is said contraption still in my garage roughly 25 years later?

It survived the decluttering before we moved from Pretoria to Gordon’s Bay and travelled 1458 km to come and survive a further multitude of spring clean operations inspired by Marie Kondo.

What? You don’t know about the Abflex? Didn’t you see it on TV? 📺 😂

You’ll find many of them on e-bay. And you’ll pay more for one in a box.

But wait!

If you’re looking for an Abflex [like to prove me wrong and brag about YOUR six-pack abs after using this abdominal strength training equipment that works great!] I’ve probably still have mine in the garage – regrettably, without the box and six feet under layers of dust.

You can have it for free.

Fortunately, no abs required to crochet. The six multi-coloured grannies are now part of a blankie. It currently looks like this [I’m still not sure about the white]:

There you go, short and sweet this week.

Here’s a song to put you in a parting mood: Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye, cheerio, here I go on my way.
