Decluttering Tips...........

As I have previously mentioned, I am in the process of decluttering my home and life, so I thought I would share these pearls of wisdom that I came across on Unclutterer.com

Six Reasons to let it Go

Are you trying to decide if you should keep or get rid of something? These are six reasons to trash, recycle, sell, or donate an object:

1. You don’t use it, love it, need it, or want it.

2. It’s broken, busted, damaged, or destroyed and you haven’t fixed it in six months or more.

3. You have multiples of the same object, and the other one is vastly superior in quality.

4. It’s expired.

5. You don’t have anywhere to store it.

6. It doesn’t fit in the life you desire.


So has anyone else done a big declutter,purge?
How did it go?

OMG!!!!!!!! NON SCALE VICTORY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

O.M.G

I have just had the best Non Scale Victory ever!

Today  was one of my co-workers birthday and as the birthday cake organiser I purchased a Boston Mud Cake this morning for him and while driving to work thought to my self "mah I don't feel like chocolate cake today!"

Fast forward an hour or two and I am getting the cake ready and someone else has brought in savouries, ginger kisses and animal crackers as well!

Eek I think!

But I do not partake in any of it!

Nun.....Zilch............Zip........Nadda!

I stayed at my desk, ate my apple and let them be!

I must say I am so proud of myself for this - as usually I would indulge a bit with everything but I didn't!

off to polish my medal now!

Ten on Tuesday

1. As I mentioned yesterday I have been decluttering my craft room
2. Being the craft hoarder that I am  - it was a lot harder than I thought.
3. I didn't make as much progress as I wanted to
4. But at least I have begun!
5. I am sort of enjoying the process and would like to take it to other parts of the house
6. Especially the kids rooms!
7. I don't think they will like it tho!
8. Now I have this extra room I must remember not to refill it with junk
9. Maybe a re-arrange will be next!
10. Or hitting the shops for something to fill the gap????

Purging and Decluttering!

This is the list of things I am going to give to the Salvation Army shop:

Over 20 items of kids clothing
2 craft envelope templates
1 small kids backpack
Old picture frames that I brought from the salvation Army shop and never used
2 Books

And would you believe that most of this came out of my craft/office room!
