Substantial quantity of yarn deposited at the local village community centre yesterday morning - well, not actually in there, we did what was probably a very suspicious-looking swap from our car boot into another woman's car boot, so she could take it away and sort through it all.

(Cynical Mr JK said she was probably going to pick out all the best stuff for herself! I'm sure that's not the case.)

No action yet (by Mrs WM) but prior to the new living room carpet being fitted, as we were unloading the many (many!) glasses from the display cabinet, Mrs Wm did wonder aloud why she keeps quite so many when we don't have need of more than half a dozen of each. And maybe it's time to get rid of some. Particularly, the sherry glasses - because I don't think we own any sherry, let alone be offering it to visitors.

Entire cupboards and bureaux (plural) devoted to storage of old crystalware here and at my mother's house (having come from my grandparents). We use it sometimes for a bit of variety, Christmas etc.

We're on a bit of a decluttering mission, though I'm trying to think of it as a long-term mindset rather than a project to blitz through. At some point in the next 5-10 years we will want to move somewhere smaller and in all probability we will have my mother's large house packed with stuff to deal with along the way. We simply need to dispose of more than we acquire over the long term.

Got something to say?

".... 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."
