Have you got a lot of de-cluttering to do Beanie or does it just seem overwhelming because you need help to do some of it? Hope your helper manages to get there. A bit of company and a sort out sounds like a win win situation. xx9

l pleased with todays efforts.Sun_Addict said:Happy decluttering. Who've you got coming to sort out your wardrobe Gok Wan
I'm going to give my wardrobe a good sort out, there are so many clothes in there I never wear because I don't really like them that much. I've vowed to only keep things I enjoy wearing and only buy new things that I absolutely love and not just things that are cheap in the sales or will do.
No point in keeping things I never wear just because they once cost money or are a certain label.
So lots more done today & I am really pleased

One thing I do need is a pair of jeans that actually fit.
I have put a lot of weight recently & am struggling.
Jeans are very very narrow at the moment which is nae guid for my wee podgy legs

My wardrobe is so full of clothes I don't wear but kept when I did the mega sort last year. It seems clear I don't propose going back to do an office job again so I am building up to a chuck out.beanielou said:

My problem with jeans is they are not long enough, and it's only my fat tum that stops them dropping over my flat, fat bum. Deep joys of middle and third age, I think

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
