I wish DH would embrace this mentality.

Before KonMAri concept existed my way of looking at things was 'would I pay someone to pack this and move it for me' - it certainly helps shift some things - and even more so when that's a distinct possibility it may happen (as opposed to my just looking for reasons to keep/ discard items)

All very exciting, Watty! :j

Thanks. 18 items listed yesterday. Seen more to go today. Waiting to see if I can move a couple of events to clear space in diary to get to see house. Even if this one goes I think our mindset has changed.....
Mr Watty has told his place of work that we plan to move out of South East and discovered he needs to give around 6 months notice....but that's ok we can move and figure out a way he can work out his notice by staying somewhere nearish work for part of the time.

It really is working for me. I would have said last year that these items sparked joy or had the potential to do so when used in someway - yet faced with the concept that I may pay someone to pack and move these items - actually I don't want to do that!

Watty I have excited butterflies for you! Yet more inspiring proof that the MF journey is sooooo worth it - it's things like this that keep me plodding on our journey xx

Hi WATTY

Great to read about your plans - SO exciting.

I was pretty ruthless about selling stuff and CS-ing stuff before we moved - and I've still got 4 boxes ready to take to CS now we've unpacked.

Good luck and really looking forward to hearing about it all.

Cant get to see the house in Cornwall for 2 weeks but it has been on the market since last June so if it is meant to be it will be and I am not going to stress that I can't get there almost immediately, although I do admit I want too!

In the meantime, two items sold, one at £7 and one at £5. Not a lot but that is two items I don't need to think about and there are another 21 up for auction and a few on buy it now.
Will do another cupboard tomorrow!

Bummer about having to wait to see the house, but on the other hand it might help temper any overexcitement and give you guys a chance to figure out more logistics. If it's been on the market for 6+ months another month or two shouldn't matter too much.

Well done on the auctions! I've only sold a couple of things on ebay, but should probably consider it.

I find there's always more to declutter - it's a constant process of evaluation. One day, I dream I'll be able to live in a 'tiny house' a la the craze in America! I'd have to part with all my kitchen stuff though, so doubt it'll happen!
