    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    [/QUOTE] but I posted a demanding decluttering guide a few pages back, and then felt I should make it clear it isn't something you should try without loads of energy.[/QUOTE]

    Serena It didn't seem 'demanding' - just a bit aspirational from where I'm standing, but Browning said "Man's reach should exceed his grasp" and I'm really hoping to be reaching more quite soon - and help in knowing how to set about it is always helpful, and not seen as nagging - honest !
