It is time to declutter and say goodbye. There have been many Youtubers who are doing videos on decluttering and organising videos at the moment and I too have been decluttering. Soon we will be moving. I have been filming some decluttering I have done and planned too do more. I am currently sorting out my bedroom and my sons, along with the Living room and the kitchen. I like to get things in order as I can be messy. Check out this vlog: https://youtu.be/c8ECaPgezp8

I am not always one to fold clothes and then wonder while I am mentally insane. My mum is like Mary Poppins she can turn a unmade bed into a masterpiece. To me it is a pain in the backside because I still end up with creases and the Mattress protector won’t stay in place and feel like abandoning it as soon as I start and a lot of swearing starts to come out of my mouth.

I will begin to pull my hair out that one of my Aunties cats used to do as I try to keep things in order but it never works out that way.

So the first thing is what is getting on your nerves?

If there is something that is really bugging you then it is a good place to start. So for me I bought some new pillows because mine have gone out of shape and I like to regularly change them and then will wash and replace my bedding again and eventually I will get a new set.

Then what areas do you like?

Embrace these areas and take photos and create an album so you can see what is working and what is not.

I exposed my mess in a Vlog I ( just linked it above) showed my corner unit in my bedroom. It is a hindrance but I like my bedside. I will be putting shelves up for my books and going to tackle my corner unit and get it in order. It is on my list so it won’t be a hindrance anymore. WHAT i AM TELLING MYSELF ANYWAY!

Do an area at a time.

So you may say, Monday I will sort out the kitchen and do a draw. Then once that is done then move to the bedroom.

So this week my plan is to, sort out the top of my closet. I see what I can let go of and what I want to keep. What will be useful and will not.

Then following week I will sort out another bag. I find it to overwhelming to do it all in one go and so I like to do it in steps. At the weekend I sorted out books as I am moving soon. I live in Epsom and Wimbledon and so will be moving to somewhere new, no longer in Wimbledon and so it is really being set on what books I want to read or let of the books I am not going to read.

When it is blistery outside it is nice with a cup of tea or coffee and get rid of what has no longer has place in your life anymore.

I like to have the heating on and I know some may be too scared and why not help a friend or relative have a declutter. Have a bit of a party with Bacon Sandwiches and tea allround or some tea and biscuits.

Why can’t it be a joint effort and gonna go through my sons books again as he has moved up a step now, with his books along with toys that have parts missing, ready for his new toys and games.

I have a new addition to my home in Epsom. A printer and my son is eager for me to set it up. We are also planning to have a cat. Yes we are and I am kind of looking forward to finding one that is suitable but means we have to be extra vigilant with what we have and not leaving bits of food on the floor.

It has been good and there is more change but I feel good about it, come with me on this journey.

Many thanks for reading,

Carrie X
