Decluttering ?

My OH moans about we wearing the "same old stuff". Mind you I don't throw things out, they just get demoted to 'slobwear', 'grimy jobwear' and finally car cleaning cloths.

If they still fit why get rid of them lol.

Reminds me of the '50s when most clothing was 'Hand me downs.'

We are in the process of de cluttering the home now as we have already done the motorcaravan. Amongst the pairs I found lots of single socks in my drawers,  goodness knows where their partners are!

I thought everyone knew that single socks are actually metal coathangers in their larval state.

Started clearing out as well, the kitchen drawer was a must, and cupboard under the sink was scary

Last year our church had a "bags for church" appeal, when you filled the provided bag with unwanted clothes and they went to the company doing it, to raise money for the church.

I went through just one wardrobe and filled a large bin bag sized bag. But the best thing was, I found clothes I had forgotten about, or even had no recollection of buying! How could I forget buying a floor length black velvet jacket?  And a matching skirt? The only problem is I now have to resist buying     any more clothes for a while.

Our church has a charity shop called the villageXchange. I think the idea is to take something in you don't want for resale to raise funds for charity. Trouble is the shop lives up to its name. If you take something in you invariably bring something out too! So much for de cluttering

I had a complete and very therepuetic cull last summer. Things I had been hoarding for years and years. This prompted OH to do the same and we have not missed a bit of it: probably because it gave us room to go out clothes shopping. The only thing I just can't get rid of is my long jacket I bought for my Dad's funeral. Oh, and my dad's hat. And his Jumper. And his binoculars. And his jacket. And his.................. Maybe I need to let go, I could fit so much more in my storage, limited as it is!

Write your comments here...I'm gobsmacked, I didn't know this!  It does make absolute sence now you mention it, everyday is a school day.  Funny though, I've never seen that single knicker, they always seem to keep their pairs firmly together!
