Keeping it simple - so over clutter!!

[~Ash~]

Great advice ladies!

I was going to start yesterday but it was so hot I flopped and wasted the day away under the fan lol - but today I start!

I'm starting in the bathroom and laundry - both small and relatively uncluttered so I can get them done in one day hopefully. And that will spur me on to the rest of the house.

DDs room will be the worst - only 2 weeks until Christmas holidays for her so if I've got to get it all done before then - I'll be doing it while she is at school so she doesn't have to throw things out lol - I can see that being such a challenge for me!!

Ok I am back!

A few tips from Organized Simplicty! (Wonderful book!)

Tour your house and ask yourself these questions about each room>>

What is the ideal purpose for this room? Who uses it? Is it satisfying for that person? Who doesn't use it? Do they have stuff in there that needs to be moved? In what ways will the idea purpose of this room fit into your family needs?

Basically making the most of what you have got - once you get to that point you can then declutter!! Asking 2 questions based on the quote " Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful".


Is this thing useful to me (us?)
Is this thing beautiful to me (us) ?
If the answer is NO to both of these questions, toss it into a give/sell box or a bin it box.

This has given me the kick up the bum to do the same before Christmas - I cling onto so SO much crap for I don't know what reason and really need to stop. I have SO much that is neither beautiful or useful, memories will still be there without the knick knacks so decluttering I WILL go!!

Her guide to decluttering is to remove everything out of the room - going a BIT far unless you have 6 mths to clean but I think everything needs to be sorted out of every room so start with clothes or toys and finish that completely before going to the next thing!! Toys are good to do when the kids aren't there!!

Ok that is all from me now, hope that is some food for though!!
