Hi skint-chick. Could you take photos of the brochures & leaflets, put them on your computer and then de clutter them? That way they'll jog your memory even if can't read them. As for the mementoes maybe a little wall shelf so at least they're up out of the way?
Been gardening here all day. Tiring work but at least I've decluttered some calories

Could you do like a shadow box/memory box?
I've seen a few for tickets and toys and all sorts on pinterest
I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.

Morning
I have been in hiding as my newborn (quite rightly) tempted me off the decluttering path and I have been too busy to fight the clutter however I am back and making big changes!
So far I have cleared out my wardrobe as has my DH so we have 2 bin bags of rubbish and 3 for the charity shop. I have been keeping on top of the baby clothes and so far have given 3 bin bags to charity
Focussing on the bedroom at the moment as we are hoping to decorate however we can't see for the clutter :rotfl:Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0 -
1. Thrown away some really carpy old pots and pans that I never use. I want to buy new quality ones when I get around to it.
2. Bag of stuff collected to go to CS.
3. Used up the end of a foundation bottle.
4. Threw away some plastic boxes where the lids didn't fit properly:mad: they went into the recycling bin.
5. Using up all the fridge veg to make a noodle stir fry for lunch before new groceries arrive today.

Could you take a look at this thread please - mods bound to shift it to its rightful home sooner rather than later, but when you gotta declutter, you gotta seize the day! I want it fast, and I want it cheap.
If this product on KGB deals is a false economy, please tell me! All advice gratefully received.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
