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 💪

@Shaz51 It should be up! I hope so, I ticked it off myself.
Oh it sounds like @Former-Member 's collection sounds fancy..... I can't say mine is fancy @Former-Member . I'm just obsessive and need to conserve clutter in the very tiny space I have.
I find my kryptonite are old clothes, I keep them for years and can't part with them. Always kept "just in case" .... the same with CDs.... I haven't listened to a CD in yonkers, yet I can't part with them.

Haha @Former-Member, I am a bit the same with clothes, mostly because I form sentimental attachments. Some of the clothes I purged on the weekend was stuff my darling bought for me before we were married. (18+ years and 30kg later not a hope of fitting me now lol).

Exactly @Determined that is my problem! They once fit, but sadly no longer....and probably nevermore.
Oh those boots definitely don't belong to me @Shaz51! They are much too flash and fancy!

Hi Everyone, I had been making good progress - sold a couple of things and have done some serious tidying but then I damaged my back... of all things packing up some stuff for postage that I'd sold 
So my mental health has deteriorated along with my physical health - I'm hoping it's just a bump in the road. On a bit of a downward spiral at the moment and not doing real well but your decluttering victories are still inspiring me.
I'm hoping to get back on the declutter wagon soon and sort out some stuff - the end point is to get everything out the way of the open fireplace so I can actually use it this winter. It's slowly revealing itself after selling and giving away some clutter and throwing out stuff that should never have been kept. I really missed using the fireplace last winter so I now have a goal that I hope to achieve.
I hope everyone has a good night and a productive tomorrow - take care.
