    I love it! And wow to so many trips to the tip in one day - I thought I was doing well with one! The other work sounds brilliant too! Can I ask why you're burning the paper, tho? Are there confidential aspects to it?

    KC, the only paper that is being burned (it probably will be completed later today) are confidential documents; mainly bank statements that have not been all opened. I had to get rid of all this fast, before my hording essence kicked in. BTW, this is another confirmation of the fact that there is an essence that underpins all our relationships. In de-cluttering, as I was in finance, I can ascilate between 'keep everything' - 'throw it all away'. With finance I learned to be closer to the middle of the continuum; with de-cluttering there is a long way to go, I think.

    But, getting a shredder is next on the list:T.

    oh wow - can relate to the hoarding everything, decluttering everything!! I've been like a demon decluttering everything in my path. Funnily enough I've not regreted getting rid of anything yet though, although the lack of clothes I have now is a problem!!

    SW, please do not post till you have done this ironing. Although I will not recognise an iron if it hits me on the face - always believed that: a) the need for ironing is 'a state of mind'; b) the whole thing is pretty pointless; and c) better pay someone to do it. Never learned, me; but no regrets.

    You are all making me laugh. Am now ironing to Roberta Flack singing Killing Me Softly. Yum. It is a jolly tasty frog with the right music.
