Olly Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Well, read and learn ... and think how motivated you're going to be when you get home (I sometimes find that, faced with the reality of shelves full of stuff, unfiled paperwork etc. my motivation slackens!). I hope it does the job for you, an earlier version ('Getting Rid of Clutter') is what transformed me from an obsessive hoarder to someone who could actually throw things away. I dread to think what I'd be like by now if I hadn't read it ... hmm, possibly like my sister who has a four-bedroomed house and no guest room!

Cooks Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 is hair classed as a clutter item?? as I have had mine all chopped off. Haven't had chance to look for anything else what with ferryng kids here there and everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think 100 emails should count as one item. 18 white shirt that never looks white any more 19 enormous candle (with 3 wicks and shells inside it) - lovely in my old bathroom, but doesn't go with anything in this house 20 selection of small plastic boxes. I know as soon as they've gone I'll find a use for them! That will have to do for now as I'm off on my hols. As I drive up the motorway I shall throw out of the window all my worries, cares, problems, anxieties and stresses - I don't need to take them with me and there'll be a fresh supply no doubt when I get home!

Falkor Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have been away at my mums this weekend so have not de-cluttered at all! I was telling my Dad all about my de-clutter madness and how great it is to be able to find what you want in my kitchen cupboards wothout having to empty half of it first only for Mum to present me with Nigella mixing bowl, small bowl, jug and little dinky bowls! Looks like that clear shelf has a use again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
