SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Very impressive effort @Former-Member. It is a big step that you are taking but you have risen to the challenge and are doing so well.

Wonder what your birds are thinking. Has that naughty cat and butcher bird been around lately?

Your head is probably spinning but hopefully you'll be nice and tired and get a good rest.

I'm happy to hear of your progress. Thanks for letting us know.

@Former-Member You don't have to answer individual posts, we all get it, you are flat out. The King parrot sounds great. You are doing just fine. De cluttering is the best feeling, and yes finding stuff is like getting something new. I forget what I'm in the kitchen for @Former-Member so don't worry, all part and parcel. You take care, hope you are getting some sleep.

Be proud of what you did yesterday @Former-Member and allow that to drive you to make further progress today. It would be so nice if we were physically helping you even if it was by doing some cleaning and not necessarily sorting through things as I understand that is a very personal activity.

I remember when my parents' home of 37 years was being sold and sorting through all their clutter. Filled two huge skip bins, gave a heap of stuff away. Dad had moved to aged care and Mum was off to a smaller single story home. She really liked her new place and it was much more manageable and safer for her than navigating stairs. She enjoyed a small garden and the ease of cleaning. Said it was the nicest place she had ever been in.

Any ideas about where you will go to from here? I guess when that happens depends on the real estate agent but she sounds as if she has your best interests at heart and is a lovely person.

Sounds like you are doing really well, @Former-Member. I don't think I can offer any advice.... I think it's a matter of getting in the right head-space and accepting that it's a big job and not easy- but manageable.

I think it's good that you don't have a definite time-frame to work with yet. You can afford to take your time.

Morning @soul, @CheerBear, @Maggie, @Sahara, @Former-Member, @utopia Nice to see you. Getting in 'the right headspace has so much to do with success. Sure need to give it my best shot. // I'm not feeling well this morning (aching, ringing in ears, sciatica, tired fhe om lacknof sleep, feel heavy, think body's gone into shock lol) - but i'm out of bed having a coffee. // Like the P.A.C.E. acronym Darcy 👍 Still at 'P' stage here.
One thing from a Japanese declutter guru is "DOES IT BRING ME JOY?" Amazing how many things weigh heavily. I don't want to hang onto bad memories...
@Faith-and-Hope, like what you said:
"WHEN WE RELINQUISH SOMETHING, IT CREATES SPACE IN OUR LIFE TO RECEIVE SOMETHING NEW" 💜🌷🌿

This yesterdays x4 Charity Bags walking out the front door lol

This next pic is my 'PACKING ROOM' for things I don't want. Took me hours to clear the bottom of that bed. Those four bags came from the mountain in that space 😞 the plan is to stack finished Garage Sale boxes on that bed once its cleared off. There's gonna be avlot and want them off the floor

There's already things sorted for separation to go in this room to go (garage sale or Vinnies truck). in other rooms to be stored here. Thinking maybe it won't all fit. Be calling vinnies truck sooner than later I suspect, but would like to try sell it.

Just heardvon ABC radio that there's over 600 suicides a year in Australia. That's like two a day. Wow, worse than the road toll. 😮 Almost normal 😒 not!

I gotta go do something. Maybe dress, eat, pills 😥😦 . Boohoo, it hurts to move 😫, I'm not even 60 yet, its not fair.

Back soon 💜💕🌷🌿🌻
