    This afternoon I decided I must at least make a start in my bedroom unfortunately I had 'help' from the cat 🙄 I also dropped a drawer on my foot trying to put it back on its runners so declutterred some bad words! 

    The drawers in my chest of drawers were tackled and all tidied, not a lot thrown away just a couple of bras and a couple of pairs of socks. The cupboards either side of the drawers are for another day.  I also tidied one wardrobe, just a couple of tops added to the CS pile and a four linen shirts will be put under the bed, they are a bit tight across the bust but I don't want to get rid of yet. At least it is tidied, once I go through my second wardrobe and under the bed I'll sort / try on the clothes to keep and those to rehome (the joys of a plus size woman my clothes are like the three bears, too small, too big and just right!) If I'm honest if I get back into the too small will I want to wear them as they are a 'little' out of date and after the menopause I know I'm a different shape, the fat re-positioned itself. It may take a large gin or two to tackle my clothes and be honest with the 'will I really wear them again'  :#

    On the way out I sorted the bedside table nearest the door (not the one of my side) 3 items thrown away, not sure why there is new purse in there but that is now downstairs to use, the zip in my current one occasionally opens and spills the change into the bottom of my handbag so has saved me buying a new one 🙂

    One of my sisters is coming to stay for a week next Sunday so I'll need to get rid of my bags for charity shop, tip and bookshop although they are in the smallest spare room I want it out of the house now I've made the effort.
