I am seriously trying to declutter & organise my chaios! gosh its hard work.

Well i've been freecycling lots this week:

spare kitchen drawers
excess underlay for laminate floor
airer no longer needed
Dresser which i didnt want anymore

Now i still have a way to go.

the biggest problem i have is lack of storage!:(
