    Must venture more into the really bad areas. Think I need to find a large box to pile stuff into from the floor and sort from there.

    Should be up to around 224. So I'm about 17 short. I know that focusing on a numerical target pushes me to declutter. And if the target was too stretching then I'd have a perfectly tidy and organised house which I haven't, yet!

    Going to give away a spare Christmas tree. No doubt there's probably more Christmas bits that will need to be sorted in time.

    Hope everyone else is making inroads into their clutter :T

    Loving the British Heart Foundation today, they have just picked up 6 boxes and 2 bags of charity stuff on their "bag through the door" rounds. Saves me taking it in myself and now I have a bit more room in the garage.

    The car is slowly filling with packaging and the house is looking a bit clearer. I also unpacked a few other items and have taken out the packaging to recycle/bin.
    Taking responsibility one penny at a time!
