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... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

Hi @Former-Member - glad to hear that you made it through the day. Dressing gowns - one winter, one summer that's it for me. I'm minimalistic these days.
You should be getting a bonus after putting in a stellar effort at the shop. Hope after seeing that the boss is a bit nicer to you.
Sometimes you need to release the pressure on the hot water system if it hasn't been running for a while. Open the valve and let the water flow out for a bit. Hope it works again for you.
I don't follow that code of football. I know it's a very big deal in Vic. Why did they have a public holiday for it yesterday if the game is on tonight??
Hi @utopia - hope you are well.

Check this out - like magic. Two knitted rugs and our polar fleece dressing gowns.

New frypan @Former-Member? - thought you had pans coming out of your ears or is this an electric frypan.
You need to promise not to return from the tip with more than you went there with.
Never tried these vacuum bags before. Wonder what the stuff will look like next winter. Suppose I just have to give them a bit of a shake to fluff them out again. I was going to put all the hoodies and jumpers in bags too. May need to keep a couple of them out as cooler weather is forecast now and rain.
I'm on Qld time. Think I'm allowed to say that.
