Brilliant work on the decluttering. We are currently having a splurge on this ourselves. It's so satisfying moving things on & freeing up space. I have a wall unit targeted for this week's efforts.

FIt does feel so freeing seeing gaps appear. I'm hoping to have a good push over the holidays.

I've been doing a money shuffle, and ordered a birthday gift using my new debit card, so hopefully I've now fulfilled all the requirements for my bank account switch. The free cash would be very handy in time for the holidays and the school uniform purchases. Fingers crossed I get it.

It would be nice to see a decluttered home and body!
