unclutterHow goes the uncluttering this weekend?
I've done very little active decluttering -- I've realised that if I have to rinse out the laundry detergent bottles before putting them in the recycling (a task I have put off, because of issues with the laundry), I can just pour the suds into a wash load about to go on! Today, across three loads of washing, I have cleaned out one of the bottles. Thus, another few weeks, and all the empty bottles should be gone.
Passive decluttering -- youngest has identified more clothes they have grown out of (they were going through their seasonal stash, I think). And a friend came and picked up their share of books from a mutual friend. I had done a half arsed sort of 'I don't have these ones (most of them)', with the expectation that the friend would take those I didn't have, and a significant proportion of the others. Instead, they just took the ones I didn't have, given that they are actually a sequence I'm kind of collecting, and they can always borrow them from me later. This means I have a box for 'things to go to the op-shop', which I haven't had for a while.
