I can’t declutter!

Yes I agree Calendar Girl. I now have that agreement with most of my family. Just have to talk to my sister. I am hesitant as feel it may hurt her feelings, but I will have to try. Luckily most are not big expensive sets, just extras.

I've learnt now, if I get unwanted items, I do not open and try them. Just keep back and give to the Tombola for the cat charity I help with.

Personally I would rather not have presents now, as we have most things we want. I would prefer a nice trip out together, Flower Show, Theatre etc.

I'm getting much better at not feeling guilty if I really don't want/need toiletries that I am occasionally given as a present. I keep them for a while in case the giver visits and wonders why they're not in the bathroom, then give them (unopened) to a raffle or a bottle stall.
