I do try to de clutter but it’s very had to get rid of things that you have either been given or brought because you wanted it.
I had a friend visit my house recently for the first time, I said the usual (don't look at the mess) casually said because I hadn't really tided up, and she said "you’ll be alright when you de clutter - you’ve just got too many things really". It certainly made me look at all the things I do have that I don’t actually need, or have any use for - things that are just sitting there for no reason at all. Ornaments that the kids have given me I could put them in the loft but there is no room because of all their toys from when they were littleare up there
I’ve tried E bay its a hassle and I don’t have time to photo and list things. it's best give them to a family member who had kids it’s their clutter then.
Or the other thing i tell the kids is - when i pop me cloggs it will be their cluttter and i won't care.
