How goes the decluttering? Have you shifted anything out of the house? Found something to sort through? Had thoughts on things you can let go of?

Comments open to locals, lurkers, drive by sticky beaks, and anyone I've forgotten to mention.

Congratulations to everyone who has found and/or disposed on any clutter in the last week!

ps. I'm going to be a bit sporadic for at least the next month; please cheer along others in the comments!

Optional extra, for those doing the low key January challenge: how go the visitor spaces?

Congratulations to everyone who has found and/or disposed on any clutter in the last week! I haven't had the oomph to come and post replies to celebrate you, but I cheer each comment notification when I read it.

ps: would anyone like a lowkey challenge for January? I have some ideas...

Continued thanks to those who did the cheering after the last posts - life continues to be a little full on.

And thanks to those who did the cheering after the last post, when my week completely vanished from under me and I forgot that dreamwidth is a place to spend time.

is much easier than doing your own!

My mother is not a hoarder, but has a regrettable tendency to accumulate things, an inability to do sorting and tidying activities which are not "work for four hours straight and accomplish the entire task in one go", and health conditions that mean she can essentially never do anything substantial in one go any more. Over the summer I pointed out that she probably didn't need three overflowing boxes of toddler books given that her youngest grandchild is now in secondary school, and strong-armed her into going through them with me so we could donate most of them and put the rest neatly away in the available storage.

I was with her again last week, and she had spontaneously decided we were going to do some more - I bagged up and put away some of her not-currently-in-use clothes for her, and we went through the toy collection which again now fits neatly in the box, while the overflow is waiting to be collected for the church Christmas fair.

We also talked about possible clothing solutions - she has bags and bags of clothes that don't fit, at least some of which may well be needed in the future, and I have done my best to suggest that "random unlabelled bin sacks in every corner" is not the optimal solution. We'll see what results.

What has everyone else been up to?

It's a long weekend where I am, so Monday is the new Sunday. Which brings me to the topic of the post!

I personally haven't managed anything, having been--to quote the vernacular--'flat out like a lizard drinking' on other tasks. But I'm here to celebrate the rest of you!

How goes the decluttering? Have you managed to rehome anything? Find a stash of things that were no better than rubbish, and bin them? Clear out a stash and now have an empty space? Anything, small or large, physical or virtual, counts as a win!

Things got a bit complicated for me, and I completely failed to remember the weekly posts for all of January. So! this could be a weekly check in, if all you have the oomph for is to think about something you've achieved in the last week. Or it could be a skite about everything you uncluttered in January (although, given weather and assorted other events, some of you will presumably have not had a spare moment to think about decluttering, and that's okay).

This might be the start of a new weekly-ish posting; I can but hope!
