Donna: YES! IT is SUCH a good feeling! I still have a long way to go, trying to fit it in around working and school holidays, but the motivation and ruthlessness is there. I am just so over it! eBay is about to get some serious bargains hit it 🙂
]]>I spent 2014 tripping over stuff, yelling about stuff, and rearranging stuff. All just stuff. None of it was making me happy. Actually the sheer volume of it was making me very very unhappy. I was hiding in bed because there was nowhere in the house that I could sit. The kids couldn’t play and I was relunctant to have people over because the pre-visit tidy up took too long.
I vowed that 2015 would not be the same. So, I took a deep breathe (and sent the Hoarder and the kids off to his Mother’s)
And then… I took four trailor loads of rubbish to the tip. Eleven boxes of books, 4 of magazines, 8 bags of clothes, 2 boxes of toys and a lot of baby equipment all went to the Lifeline op shop. I sold a few things very cheap on gumtree and gave away a lot on gumtree.
I still have a way to go (Linen press – which holds sheets that don’t fit any of our beds, Pantry – which has more out of date stuff that I can count and the grown ups wardrobes – which will fill at least four bags)
BUT… the whole family survived. The kids haven’t missed a thing. The husband misses a fan that he had since he was 17 but hadn’t used for two years!!
And me… Well I feel absolutely fantastic. I can sit in the lounge. I can walk in the Laundry. Tidy up is still a chore but is actually doable.
I don’t think I could do your 80% but I’m never letting STUFF clag up my life again.
Even just writing about it is catharic.
THANK YOU
]]>I can’t tell you how excited I am by it. Going through the process of sorting and piling all your fabrics up on my shelves, I am coming up with all kinds of ideas for what you’ve given me. And its often clear what ideas you had too! Those boldly printed cotton sateens NEED to become 50’s dresses (for you of course – maybe as autumn wardrobe – just let me know what kind of garment you feel wont hinder your process of decluttering!). 😀
]]>Mish: It is so much easier to tackle these jobs alone I find. when there are others around it tends to bring their emotional baggage into the mix. I like putting on some great music (eye of the Tiger is a great start), and really digging in. Good luck!
