The ALL-YEAR-ROUND job of DECLUTTERING and CLEANING our homes is daunting. Especially for those of us who HOARD, or struggle with depression, and decisions, anxiety & other MI. I'm so challenged in this way so reaching out for support. Maybe start an Declutterers Army 💪
If you suffer the same challenge or have some great suggestions - type away... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

Quietly pleased with myself... Finally, after seven years, I pulled my girls artwork off her bedroom wall, and carefully placed each one in an A3 display folder. So sad, don't know how I did it without breaking down - talked with her the whole time. Sounds weird but she chipped me (in a nice way) for putting one upside down 🙂 She likes that I'm taking them with me.

Hi @Former-Member
I really love your new avatar pic - very apt - esp when you have had to give up so much in cleaning out your old house
I had to give my piano up in the past too - that is such a hard thing to do - I know - I understand.
After many years I have an electronic key-board - I can do so much with that - but it's not a piano - it doesn't look like a piano or really sound like a piano
But it's a keyboard
