some houshold members work activly against an organised wardrobe

Sorry if I didn’t update this blog in the last week – for those who check in regularly –
But our cat got run over – she is still alive, but just. She had major pelvic surgery and spent three days in intensive care in an animal hospital. And apart from the cost (which is enormous!!, but why should an animal surgeon earn less than a human one?), it is occupying your mind. The whole family was worrying and couldn’t focus on much else. It taught the kids a thing or two about compassion, caring, giving unconditional love (even when your cat comes home and is half bold after the operation and doesn’t look like her own self!)
She is now getting better every day, just started feeding herself, so I can put the syringe away.

Of the people killed in house fires over the last ten years, near 30 per cent were hoarders

I have been rocking up at my local Salvation Army store a lot lately – so much that most of the ladies and men working there know me by now, which is nice in itself.
They are also a great help in running my business – where else would I dispose of all the goodies and treasures my customers decided to part with.
But letting go is not always everything it takes. You have to make a decision whether you could actually burden someone else with you staff. Think of the times you got something handed down from your grandmother or mother which you took on grudgingly, because you neither needed nor loved it.
So go into yourself when de cluttering make sure your stuff really is someone else’s treasure.
And just to pass on what the people at Salvos told me: “don’t bring it to us if you wouldn’t buy it off us.”

Here are a few of my favorite places to drop of things:

After writing the last post I found this on a German website and had to share it with you. Despite not many people in Australia having window boxes with flowers… but I think this idea can be used to store all sorts of other stuff: kitchen utensils, pencils, painting brushes… your imagination is the limit- think outside the square/box!!
Again, this is an idea to get things off the ground. Because, the floor is not a storage space – it’s for furniture and nothing else.
