Sweep out the old year

[watervole]

We've just tackled the cupboard under the stairs.

Score - 3 bags of rubbish, two bags for charity shops, loads of space and much better organisation.

You don't fancy doing my room do you, I've taken something over six bags of papers out and you can't see where it came from, I'm drowning here!

I've a new year's resolution (72dpi) to get rid of all the junk in the house, and then to sort/collate/deduplicate the rest and to then get rid of good stuff that is either not needed or a duplicate/backup which I can replace if I ever need it ... a lot of stuff will be going out free to anyone who needs it (e.g. second and third best kitchen knives ... I threw away the ones that were so bad I kept cutting myself with them as I didn't want to inflict those on anyone else, ditto the rusting non-stick saucepans ... but I'll have things like a SCSI scanner, possibly a full size OHP, possibly a slide projector and screen, lots of glasses, odd plates etc.)

I'm convinced that decluttering my life will improve it, and I'm willing to take the future cost of replacing stuff that I get rid of now, in exchange for the benefits of having less clutter ...

... OTOH, the lego is not going!
