Clearing My Clutter 12

Well.... I managed to extract myself from the TV and cosy chair and my knitting. I cleared some clutter off to local charity. I do hope they make some money out of it, and someone else finds a bargain.

Done some scanning this-after. My first wedding album. The marriage ended 20 years ago! I am to throw out the album and select a few photos to keep; the rest will be deleted. I am also, finally parting with the wedding dress. I kept it to use as a christening gown. Fat chance eh! I'm well into menopause territory now! No descendants to pass on to, so off to eBay or charity again.

It is so hard letting go of stuff. I have treasured and find giving some of it away quite painful. Tiny Tears is in bad shape and not worth the space she takes up. However, I have loved her. Tressy and Action Girl have a nice little selection of clothing. Collectors pieces? Not worth much cash. I should just give them to charity as well. Not yet. I'm checking out eBay again. I don't really have the time for eBay. So they clutter my office, which I have just cleared. I really must keep a check on this and get rid.

Happy New Year 2009.

I managed to clear the bedroom, ready for visitors over Christmas, and up to now I have kept it clear!

With renewed vigour; I have set about clearing my garage again. Not much change since I last photographed it in Nov 2007. Oh, some of the clutter has changed, but there's still just as much. My fridge has gone and so too has the manicure table. I have selected a pile to go to the local charity place and plan this afternoon to pay them a visit with a carload.

My aim is to have my car in the garage by the end of January. So I must be off now and get to it.
