    Morning everyone
    Our loft clutter is moving out the front door slowly.
    All our adult children have now taken what they wanted.
    The recycle bin is filling up with unwanted paper, card and plastic bottles.
    Local clothes bins have had a small donation of x2 bags.
    A DD and family are having a car boot this Sunday and taking some of our STUFF.

    Just reading over my tales of woo. You would think we have piles of STUFF. We have but about the same as most families.

    The benefits of decluttering are great = more space, easier to clean the house, more organized.

    I have read bits of Marie Kondo online. I do not want to own the book. I find it will be another thing to keep for years. Could buy on kindle but I only now read the FREE books. Cash is def. something I do not want going out the door.
    The library is not for me. Carrying heavy books home and then having to make a trip to return them.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    Thank you tooties.

    More declutter plans for Monday. After the car boot pile has gone.
    I think the new declutter will be the conservatory - Again!
    The conservatory is a well known dumping ground here.
    I seem to go through it every x2 months.

    Glad the family is coming round more to toss out.
    It use to be = don't touch my stuff, I need it all.
    A losing battle before we begin.
