Or I will open a cupboard and find I have several serving dishes that I have not used for years....so why do I keep them? I don't even LIKE them.....
I have piles of books under my bed and in my cupboard - because my bookshelves are full - and I know I will never read them again - so why do I have them in the first place??! Does any of this ring true with you?
Then I read this and was inspired!
So, armed with enthusiasm and several bin bags and boxes - just look what we achieved - ooh it felt so-oo cathartic!
I also went through the boys clothes, they both have grown suddenly and we were able to pass on a big bag of clothes to a smaller friend who was delighted - and that felt good :)
I've not really sorted my New Year's Revolutions out yet - but this one is definitely a keeper - it is going to the top of my list!
Oh dear....big sigh!! I suppose I had better start what I had planned to do last year and never got around to doing and start sorting out 'stuff'. Not just sorting but then discarding!! :>) xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic - yes, you do feel like you can breathe more easily when you've had a clear out, don't you? As long as the clear out doesn't include any of your yarn stash ;)

I see why you were so inspired. I'm a declutter as I go along type, Hubby and daughter are hoarders. When C was little I used to hide unused toys in a cupboard for a few weeks and if she didn't ask where they were then they went to the charity shop. It worked very well, I can recommend it.
ReplyDeleteOh the joy of de-cluttering. I do it to make room for more new stuff....
ReplyDeleteI too feel the urge to go through my kitchen cupboards again as they are overflowing....
At least we saw some sunshine today!
