This weeks decluttering plans

I have still be busy decluttering and even managed to get MadDad to sort through his clothes at the weekend!

This weeks plans are as follows:

Linen Cupboard - Sort though the linens and make sure they are sorted in to bed. Donate or sell any surplus sets.
Bathroom - Clear any drawers or storage in the bathroom. Make a list of what products you have, so that you do not over stock.
Children's bedrooms - Sort through drawers removing items for your throw away, giveaway and sell box.
Children's bedrooms - Sort under their beds.
Children's bedrooms - Wardrobe sort out

If you have older children then it is important that you involve them in this, so that they can ensure they keep their rooms in a clean state. I always agree with my boys that anything I sell from their rooms that they can have that spent on them.

Emotionally decluttering

For me removing excess items from the home is all part of a larger exercise. When I am upset, scared or unwell I accumulate "stuff". A lot of what I am removing from our home is things that I brought in after my mum died and I am learning that if I remove this clutter that not only does it make the house easier to look after, but there is a side effect of clearing my mind too.

I am slowly emotionally decluttering. leaving room in my mind and home for the beautiful and useful things.

Bissell Vac and Steam Machine Review and Giveaway

I have hard floors downstairs which I love. They are much more practical than carpet with 2 mucky boys and a dog. Over the past 8 years I have tried all sorts of ways to keep them clean and I think I have finally found the product that does that for me. It is the Bissell Vac and Steam Machine . This amazing suel action machine vacuums and steam cleans either independently or at the same time. It means that I have done away with my vacuum and steam cleaner downstairs (which I gave to my brother in law). What I like: You can either vacuum or steam clean or do both It is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre The handle is adjustable great for a home with people of different heights and for getting the kids involved. You need no chemicals The pads are washable and reusable It comes with a two year guarantee It warms up fast (within 30 seconds) so no long wait to start cleaning It costs under £100 It is space saving. No need for a separate vacuum, steam cleaner or mop.
