Starting again

[peaceful_sands]

So there have been a lot of changes in my life in the last few months and they're not all over yet. Earlier in the year I put my decluttering on hold, but in the process I lost track of stuff that was ready to go that I'd counted and actually never left and the sheer volume of things that came back into the house from where I'd been working. I've also decided to make a third count - things ready to go - because last time I jumped the gun slightly in counting things that were in boxes ready to go to recycling, charity shops or whatever and some of them are still here. This won't affect my overall count - it's like a count of intent. I can't get to the charity shop weekly but I can build up a stock of stuff to take next time I have the opportunity and so on - it won't be transferred to actual count until it's really gone - LOL!

I've made a decision to start over with my counting. A fresh start to go with all my other changes :)

So here we go again...
