De-clutter time 2

 
 
Right the first thing I did in my de-clutter was easy and simple, now for the next item on my list:
 
*Sort out my clothes*
 
 So everything was taken out of the wardrobe and put  on to the bed. Then it was time to go through each item, at this point not trying on, far too hot to do that!
 
Questions I asked myself:
 
1. When did I last wear this?
2. Did I feel happy/comfortable wearing this item?
 
Once I answered these questions I put the clothes into two piles, keep and get rid of.
 
Then it was try on time with the keep stuff.
 
The next questions were:
 
3. Do I still feel happy/comfortable wearing this?
 
4. Does it fit?
 
So some more items ended up in the get rid of pile.
 
Everything was then put back neatly into the cupboard.
 
The get rid of pile was then split into, material I can use and car boot pile.

De-clutter time

Yes its that time again to sort through those things in life you just let build up. You go along fine with how it all is then all of a sudden you realise you need to get this lot sorted.
 
The de-clutter started the other day with the first item on my list:
 
*Sort loyalty cards and gift cards*
 
 
3 old gift cards in my purse that had nothing on them, sorry but why did I keep them!
 
Various old loyalty cards disposed of as well.
 
Now I have a purse that is a bit better organised.
