A motto to live by if you can be disciplined enough. As opposed to have everything in your house because you think it will come in useful one day or you can't bear to throw it out.
Rainy non-working day. Sainsbury's delivery first thing before a morning dental check-up (all good and some scraping). Afternoon cycled in full waterproofs to pick up my new lenses for my glasses - lowered long distance prescription and slightly higher close-up prescription, seem okay.
I always say this, useful, pretty or sentimental. Doesn't work all that well tho! You're the same as Ed tho, keeps everything 'just in case' whereas I just get lazy about sorting out the rubbish all the time.
Our house is full of things that will be useful one day or things we can't bear to throw out. We have moved house 16 times and lived in 3 different countries and just take it all with us, ha ha.
Yikes. I feel so seen. I pondered the quote, thought I had good answers... until I realized my answers were more like "because you think it will come in useful one day or you can't bear to throw it out."
Interesting words … I love it when my kids both when they were younger and now as adults ask me “ I don’t suppose you’ve got ……? And however random the thing was I had one! So yes my very small house has lots of stuff in it!

I call decluttering ‘sharing’ - it’s so great to share
