    What fun and wonderful advice.
    I'm glad I'm not the only one who spends New years Eve resetting my home ready for the new year.
    I'd rather be doing that than going to a New Year's party.... to many people 😮😂
    You mentioned one use of items, and I thought about my bread machine.
    I'm going to give it 3-6 months, and if I've not started using it again, I'm going to pass it on. 😊

    Loved this-keeping up the momentum Sort of thing .
    I’m constantly decluttering trying to keep only what I absolutely love…problem is I love too many things!! I do practice the one in one out… or in the case of groceries or toiletries , it is one out one in ! Clothing the same , if ever I get a new piece of clothing it spurs me to do a total refresh of my wardrobe. Problem is , there had been many a time where I get rid of something not in use. Then forgetting I donated it I go ‘tearing the house apart ‘ looking for it !!!
    I enjoy all your chats and ideas. I love the idea of fabric - covered boxes to store. I chuckled aloud at the fruit bowl for storage !!!!!!
    I googled Swedish death cleaning ! I also decluttering drawers and other hidden o Jett’s only bc I font want anything in my home I don’t love , seen or not seen. But!! The death cleaning also benefits others when I’m well and truly gone!
    Be well my friend.
    See you soon !!

    I always have a box ( active) and if I come across stuff I don't need it goes in the box..When the box is full it gets freecycled as car boot items... This week I freegled my old heavy drill and a sander that my arthritic hands can no longer manage... The guy who collected them had his tools stolen on a job so I know they have gone to a good home... and I have my new lightweight cordless drill. My biggest problem is paperwork...

    Awhile ago now I got the itch to declutter the “room with no name” aka the office/snug/craft room … I realised that I can’t do all the crafts that I had enough craft supplies to keep myself busy for the next 100yrs … we unloaded several car fulls to the local charity shop and I was lucky enough to be in there browsing (they sell books 3 for £1 i’m only human!!) when a pile of card making supplies made someone’s day … it was a good feeling and definitely spurred me on!

    I'm loving these videos on decluttering. It's something I keep on top of and I love how my home feels as though it can breathe. One thing I do is keep the lids on things. Yes, it takes a bit more room (not that I have a lot of them anyway), but every container has it's lid with it and they stack tidily. No random lids or missing lids, so no lost time searching for the right one.

    Great tips. I especially like the bit about using up the half bottles of things until they're finished. When I first "went frugal", I forced myself to use up the half bottles of shampoo/conditioner, cleaners, etc. If I had a shampoo that I really didn't like for my hair, I used it to refill our hand soap bottles. Conditioner I didn't care for was used to shave legs. I used up the cleaning sprays and then refilled with homemade cleaners. Right now I'm slowly buying a few new garments because my clothes are horrendous. As I buy a sweater or pants, at least one of the old versions has to be donated. I don't need "more" clothes....just more suitable clothes. As for the coffee mug thing....I need professional help. lol Thanks for the tips!

    Oh the 48 mug problem! It actually ties in with the Christmas gifting thing. We ended up with so many mugs, I’m the only one that drinks teas and coffees in the home and we very rarely have guests. I just wish people wouldn’t gift mugs, especially novelty ones. I felt awful when we moved into a smaller home when I no longer could dedicate a shelf just to mugs I don’t use but felt guilty to part with! There were so many I took to the charity shops Vivi.
    We’ve got so much better at being ruthless though, we had an open conversation with my hubbys family about not gifting us at all. They are slowly getting there. I’d much rather just time with people than gifts, or a lovely meal out 😋.
    When we moved into our own home after renting for decades, we approached the kitchen clutter. I bought equipment, utensils, pans and storage solutions as I needed them so I knew I’d only have exactly what I would actually use and have space for. It’s worked out fab, again had to be very clear to hubbys family not to gift us anything as I was being very thoughtful on the organisation of the kitchen. They thought I was weird, “surely you want a nice new set of pans?” But we didn’t need all the pans that come in a set, they end up unused, clutter, just buy what you need 👍.

    Ha-ha - I've been guilty in the past of "aspirational buying" - the all-singing, all-dancing mixer/blender for all the home baking I was going to do (ignoring that I worked long hours and had family commitments at weekends). Luckily my daughter is a very good cook and I passed it on to her once I realised that I had only used it a few times and it was just taking up worktop space. Pretty much the only baking I do now is the Christmas cake. I do have a garden shed which never seems to get sorted and still has half-empty paint tins from my last house (I've lived here nearly 15 years) but I really need help as it is too much for me nowadays. I do sometimes venture in there and try to take out 3 or 4 things at a time.

    the window cleaner last month and the bottom of it was not wet. Old pipes leak.
    And there you go! Congratulations for the decluttering inspiration. I also cleaned out two big cupboards while 'you were on'.

    Hi Vivi. If you could get your knees fixed do you think you would be able to work outside your home possibly your love for organizing. The organizing business here in the USA is a booming business. It would be a business you could start out just doing a couple appointments a week and I bet you that before you know it you wouldn't have to advertise because happy clients would share your name with their friends. Maybe when you move to your new home and aren't having to climb stairs your knees will feel better. thanks for all your helpful hints and tips. Blessings
