    Have attacked decluttering with gusto today.
    Have been to charity shop & to the skip.
    Carpet estimator coming tomorrow.
    Have now got everything out of bottom of wardrobe.
    Can hardly walk but making progress.

    Is it worth buying a shoe rack or should I just chuck shoes back in bottom of wardrope when carpet done?

    Get a shoe rack. It stops you having to bend down.
    I have never bought a shoe rack in my life and as I am now over 40 and haven't needed one yet I guess I would say skip it :D

    I have three, holding a total of 5 pairs of shoes.

    Or two pairs, assuming you don't consider boots and trainers to be shoes... :rotfl:

    Thats good input from Z, as usual :) It saves your energy, and your sense of balance, for the things you *want* to do, as opposed to everyday routines :)

    Really sad to hear you had such a !!!! weekend. Its just horrible how our bodies react to emotional stress :(:(:(

    YOU ARE A VERY GENEROUS AND LOVELY PERSON - I AM SHOUTING IT FAR AND WIDE ACROSS MSE :D

    With my OT and CP hat on please do not throw the shoes back in the bottom of cupboard :eek::eek::eek:

    I have mine in shoeboxes on a shelf in my wardrobe, so I reach up not down! However I plump for the snoopy bag on back of wardrobe door :T:T:T

    Love and hugs BM
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
