Hi Rose,

I hate clutter and am a shredder par excellence, saying that
things that mean a lot to me I keep stored away so I don't see
them and take a madder and have a clean out. LOLx

Hello young Rose,

You have just said it, "do you need it, or will you ever use it".

having been a 'magpie' for many years ( family trait) collecting 'pretties', china, bits! I am working on the moneysaving mantra "Do I need it, will I use it?"

Just sold a load of boot fair type stuff on Ebay, and the thought of 17 boxes leaving the garage is really thrilling lol, it's like a weight being lifted off my shoulders :)

talking to a friend about getting rid of old cards and letters, neither of us can bear to get rid of cards sent to our mums that they kept for years ( like all the birthday cards from childhood etc).

can you de-clutter? and what can't you let go of, even though it is of 'no use' ..( don't say OH LOL)
