Anyone?
We had a nice little thread going, no rushing, just sharing, discussing, and encouraging each other. .
I've fallen out the loop, but still have a long way to go.

Its so clear to see, reading through this thread, that decluttering is so much more than gerting rid of unwanted stuff.

It's drawing a line under a part of life that'll never return.

Wise words.

Our childhood, courtships, getting married, having our own children and seeing them grow, our youth…..

Wise words indeed MissA.
I'm glad I didn't do this soon after DH died. Nearly 6 years later it feels different and like the time has come.
Mind you I am still culling books . I've not started on the photos yet or the children's artwork and school jotters!

Perhaps I will have an Autumn bonfire 🔥..

Do you know what, a bonfire seems rather a good idea for decluttering papers stuff.
Voom! .. a bright flare, and gone.
