preparing for the new year

[wychwood]

We're coming up towards the traditional season of uncluttering!

I've been doing a little bit of reorganising spaces:

• Replaced an under-bed storage box that was really hard to get out with a much easier one
• Sorted out the contents of that box and the two next to it and moved some things around
• Pulled out a bunch of travel or mostly-used toiletries from one of them to go ahead and just use up (most of them have been in there since well before I moved into this flat, which is... six years now)
• Put a small storage box on my bedside table for pills etc so I stop knocking everything on the floor while trying to find the correct packet first thing in the morning

Also, on the digital front, some post-Christmas updating of catalogue spreadsheets with my new presents, before I shelve them, and clearing out of assorted emails that were waiting for me to do something with them!

Anyone else using the downtime before New Year to get some decluttering done?

we managed to move a large piece of furniture out of the front hall (where it has been patiently waiting for nearly two years) and into a friend's house, so now we have a teetering mound of Stuff! that had accumulated on and around it that needs sorting. But getting it out has made that space more airy, so that is a win on its own.

Ahhh amazing! It always feels so good to me when I can finally get something OUT when it's been waiting for a while. Good luck sorting the remains...

Such a good feeling! Thanks for the good wishes; hope that your uncluttering is also going well.
