To the point that I am resentful that I now have to spend another weekend AWAY FROM THE HOUSE this weekend, even though the last two weekends in a row where I have been away from the house for more than 50% of the weekend have in fact been perfectly lovely and I wouldn't change them for the world, this weekend will involve manners and tongue biting and srsly, I would rather be sorting cupboards! (Secretly wondering if I can maybe have a pressing engagement on Saturday afternoon necessitating leaving and coming back?)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-83906716384620904442014-09-22T10:22:16.993+10:002014-09-22T10:22:16.993+10:00Ah now, Bek, the crocheting..

I can't finish a single square until I find some more... honest:)<br />And yes, the 'all too hard' stage of decluttering. I was there at one time. Don't want to go back.

My parents (i.e. my mum) is currently in the midst of a declutter as people are coming to stay and the spare room actually needs to house people, not "stuff". <br />I see all her work and have been thinking I really should do a clean out so I never get to that stage of clutter and it all feels too hard. Your post has been another reminder.<br />PS How's the crocheting going???

If you bring your stuff right into your living room, there is a much higher chance of clearing it all away. I am enjoying following your decluttering diary. I will be following your footsteps come Monday!<br />CJ, you will have a head start, decluttering over winter. You will then be able to spend all of spring in the garden.

When the garden and the allotment are sort of tidy and put away for the winter I shall get to it. It really does give me such a good feeling. I shall look forward to hearing how you get on.

In fact, I'm taking a ten-minute break to restore my sanity.<br /><br />I'm good with the piles method, because I keep my piles in places I like to be clear, so I'm motivated to get stuff out and away once I'm done piling. I should also say that I don't pile and pile and pile. Right now I bring a few boxes of stuff down from the attic, make my piles, and then deal with those piles before I bring down the next boxes. So piles work for me.<br /><br />All this to say, I am a disciplined pile person. And now, back to the piles!<br /><br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.com
