unclutterHow goes the uncluttering this weekend?
I did the seasonal clothing swap today, and gave myself the challenge of only putting away what would fit in the suitcase I've been using for years (I also had a 100L plastic tub, although it wasn't full). Much sorting later, and I have a box of clothing for the op-shop. I've also included the baby sling I've been hoarding for years (youngest is 14; my nibling, who I babysat as a Very Small, is now at school).
I did try and get rid of the box as well, but partner scotched that.
