OOPS forgot to post yesterday but didn't forget to give something the old heave ho!!

and today I also sorted out an unwanted and unused item too

tomorrow I plan to do a trip to the charity shop and will take those items as well as the 3 bags of clothes already sorted and put in the garage. I will also do a trip or two to the tip in an attempt to have a bit of a clear out in the garage, I will take before and after photos!!!

Why is it so much easier to find one item a day to get rid of than to actually have a big declutter? On the surface the house looks okay, it is once you start to look inside cupboards or under the bed, the clutter is insidious and hidden away. But I know it is there and I also know how it drags me down ...well usually...maybe because 1 item a day is manageable it may seem like a drop in the ocean but I didn't acquire all this 'stuff' over night and i won't get rid of it like that either.

With Christmas approaching I am trying to gently get the message out that I don't need clutter, I am also being much more thoughtful about what I am planning to buy other people, I don't want to burden them with clutter either!

It is a gradual mind-set shift but I am very aware that it is happening!!
