I don't have a basement but I do have the other things, there's also a shipping container in the yard for storing large items and rarely used items (decorating stuff, boxes with hobby equipment, extra chairs n tables etc) but really I don't like owning so much stuff.
So this Nordic thing "döstädning" death cleaning thing I read about (I think it was
medtran49 who mentioned it) made me think a good declutter is over due. I'm gonna Kondo the cr*p out of my place. Clearly too many things spark joy!
I have to be more ruthless.
Took four boxes to the charity shop this morning (good things, things people will like or would be useful) and was rudely told "TWO ONLY" I said which two would you like? she replied "I don't care" so I brought back the antique china pieces and the spare teapots because I do like them and I couldn't bear to leave them with her.
I'm sure it's a difficult job especially after a spring bank holiday but honestly it wasn't nice.
I saw her eyeing up the Morphy Richards Express Spiraliser so said I'd printed the instructions out for it yesterday they're in the box. That seemed to make her very happy.
Heyho. Nearly there now.
