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 💪

Hi @Adge - how is your rodent problem? They've been getting into my tomatoes. I covered them in bird net and they're just chewing through it. Definitely rats as a possum couldn't get through holes that size. I've been researching ways to get rid of them. I can't use bait as I have dogs and I've tried traps but they seem to be smart enough to not set them off. I've been reading that peppermint oil can be a deterrent and there are also glue traps - sort of like fly paper but able to catch a rat and glue their feet down. Might give them a go.

Very impressive with those cables @Former-Member. Do they get used or are they just collector's items? 😉
I have leads that I have no idea what they are for.

Thanks @Former-Member - that's great information. It's good to get clarification on what they will and won't accept. Hi @soul - that's just the tip of my cable iceberg. I picked up a box of cables and things today off ziilch and I'll keep what I want for myself and give the rest away. I went through the pots and pans drawer today and found a few things that could be thrown out too so I'm slowly getting on top of things. I might book a council rubbish collection for next week to push me along a bit to rid the house of junk.
