I am nudging fifty.

I think it is quite brilliant of you to have worked out how to leverage your personal antipathies (ie clutter in the living room) in order to get rid of clutter in the attic.<br />I find I need to put each item in its own home as I sort, otherwise I just end up with more piles at the end, which I am then too tired to rehome. AND I need to take bags out to the car immediately, and deliver them the next time I leave the house, otherwise I end up with a hall full of bags/boxes for the next six months..<br />All the very best for your marvellous project..Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-76627186531854953182014-09-18T13:15:10.039-07:002014-09-18T13:15:10.039-07:00It sounds to me like you've hit on a successfu...It sounds to me like you've hit on a successful approach to dealing with that attic of yours.<br /><br />Me? I'm just hoping Miss Sunshine will one day take down the purple bunting from her 18th birthday party.

Will this be the case when it has been cleared, cleaned, beautified and turned into a spa writing den using only upcycled and sophisticated items of vintage hue? I fear not. <br /><br />Obviously you are right,I remain impressed, and bon courage!magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-82069160388031194182014-09-18T10:34:57.816-07:002014-09-18T10:34:57.816-07:00Oh I am not laughing - I am just wondering if, onc...Oh I am not laughing - I am just wondering if, once you have succeeded, you might consider coming over here for a three week holiday to sort mine out [one week to declutter, and two weeks to tour our fine nation] I would gladly give you room and board!<br />I watched three episodes of the US show Hoarders last week [is it classed as a sitcom?] and immediately went into our loft and threw out four large bags of unnecessary stuff. I keep saying 'I am not as bad as that, am I?' but suspect I might go that way if some awful crisis overwhelmed me.<br />You are not alone. But kids books - these are boxed and labelled in a 12 year old's hand "Do NOT throw these out" - my girls plan one day to have daughters who are obsessed with horses and/or ballet, I think!!<br /><br />blessings xxAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
