I've been on a decluttering kick lately. I'm not sure what inspired it, but I've been busy getting rid of anything I find that I know we don't need or want anymore, broken things, clothes that don't fit, etc.
The one thing that bothers me, though, is that I keep forgetting to take before and after pictures! So I can't show off my hard work.
So far, I've tidied up Darrin's clothes corner (he had a LOT of clothes in piles and totally disorganised), the bathroom, the laundry cupboard, the corner of the laundry where we keep the brooms and bins, our bedding, the kids' colouring and activity books.
This week, since it's school holidays, we'll be tackling Chuckie and Micah's room. They have far too many toys, and more keep showing up every Christmas and birthday. Time to move out the ones they've outgrown and make more room for the ones they play with all the time.
Meanwhile, I'd love to declutter the !@#$!#$!@$! possum that's living in our wall between the bathroom and dining room. Apparently they hate garlic, but I'm not sure how to get garlic in there to keep it away. And if you manually remove them, you have to rehome them within 50 metres of where you found them. And they're very territorial, so they'll just come back again anyway. I wonder what's the point. Not sure how to plug up where it's getting in either because we're not sure where it's getting in.
So that's where we're at right now.
