Getting the stuff out of your home
It has come to my attention, both through comments on my blog and through real life experience, that one of the issues people have with their clutter, once they finally decide to be rid of it, is getting it out of their homes. Clutter gets rounded up then put aside in the corner of a room or storage space and they build up and hang out there for, what seems like, forever. One reason is a lack of time, another a lack of knowing exactly what to do with it, while a lack of transport to get it to a thrift shop can also be a deterrent. Some folks spend too much time trying to find the perfect new … [Read more...]

You just never know.
Firstly I would just like to apologise for my recent extended absence from the blog this month. Unfortunately my mother took ill and I rushed off interstate to visit her in hospital and to take care of my dad while she couldn't. After she returned home from hospital it took a while for her to sufficiently recover enough for me to feel comfortable about leaving for home. Add that to the three week vacation immediately after Christmas and I have spent only about two weeks in my own home so far this year.
