I recently found "the minimal mum" on utube. So many of the things she says are so true of me. I'm (gradually) decluttering according to her ideas.

Thanks Moth. I'll have a look at that later.Smile
Today I went shopping in my wardrobe and found a wool sweater that I've had for years. Last time I wore it (a couple of years ago) , it was too tight - but now its not!! It can stay. Big Grin

As I stashed my freshly washed socks (all dark colours as they don't show the mud) I spotted 5 pairs of white socks at the back of the drawer. They're OUT and have become dog' toys. D

I unearthed my white socks when hunting fleas, they show up better on white. Had to scrabble a bit to find them though.

On their way OUT are:-
A Polo necked sweater with a neck that's tight enough to cut off your air supply.
A white T shirt with discoloured armpits!! .........in the duster bag.
A summer blouse with too short, short sleeves - worn once (to be offered on Free site).
I've moved a lot of clothes on hangers around in the wardrobe and found, shock horror, a broken hanger!!! In the bin.

Also, I've worn another woollen sweater and 2 tops that haven't seen the light of day for a few years - they all fit and can stay.
