I'm now on the brink of emptying the Aged Parents' house. It includes nearly half of the contents of Mum's APs' house... Self-storage is very tempting. But I must make space in our house for the piano!

Maybe a declutterer might help, Lizzie. Sounds like a big job to tackle alone, dealing with 2 generations of Stuff

Resist a storage unit, Lizzie, but definitely make space for the piano. Good luck with it, and stay strong.

I’m at mums whilst she is in hospital

I really really really want to start clearing stuff!
She seems to keep old radio times …. Not sure if this is because there is something she wants to read of not got to recycle it
I have filled 1.5 recycling bags of cardboard and plastic and have a black bin bag full of soft plastics

But I remember in 2019 when dad died and I cleaned the kitchen she was not happy. I think she felt it was an insult as if I was suggesting she wasn’t capable

Didn't the Doctor ask you to do it ;-)

My friend has found a local 2nd hand furniture place, we're going to see if it's suitable for selling to (not inappropriate upcycling), but we have to promise not to let eachother buy anything!

Help advice and support for declutterers

Special May Challenge

".... This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day."
