Be careful what you throw away.  Last Thursday I wore a jumper & when I looked at the label I realised that I must have bought it (at the latest) in 1976.

Keep them if you like them and have the space. Decluttering isn't meant to be a punishment.

Or if there's some you know you won't wear even if they're lovely, stick them on vinted

I have a huge pile of things to put on Vinted.  I just need to make myself actually do it now that it is the right time of year as it is all winter stuff.  

@badmemory that made me laugh, I don't think I own anything pre 2003 clothes wise.  I went on maternity leave from my very corporate job, and changed shape and shoe size while I was pregnant and of course the focus of my life changed from suited and booted to baby sitter.

I parted with 2 x 99p yesterday for kindle deals on cook books, both well reviewed Indian food ones (Chetna Makan).  I am trying to find some mojo with food and cooking again or I will just exist on jacket potatoes for the foreseeable future.  The freezer is still full of Pretzel jenga and I actually got to the point where we had to have something out of a tin or go to the co-op which is a win for me. No frozen veg left other than parsnips, and a bag of frozen mango that I bought randomly (because someone on here said that frozen was edible!) and haven't actually tried.

Tin wise we have tuna, baked beans, and a few tins of french onion soup.  These are things that I didnt gift to the foodbank as we will eat them if there is nothing else available.  Very little in packets in the store cupboards too, I haven't automatically replaced things as we use them so I need to actually consciously plan what I want to eat going forwards after a long run of just using up what we had whether I like it much or not.  I could make myself do a store cupboard challenge with what we have left but I might just starve as I am a bit rubbish at making myself eat things that I don't 'want'.

Just a thought … could one or more of your DS’s be persuaded to do the V1nted task for a suitable commission? 🤔

I struggle with making myself eat things I don’t want or like too … 😉

Don't eat things you don't want to eat (unless you have to of course) Food should be a pleasure...

Definitely list to what your body tells you - don't eat anything it does not truly enjoy!

That's listening to your body. Not the bit of your brain that says 'cheese, chocolate, and wine'

@greenbee - Nothing wrong with Cheese, Chocolate & Wine!  - Cheese is dairy, Chocolate is a vegetable & Wine is a fruit!

Also, chocolate has iron, calcium, and magnesium - and all three are fermented food...
