where does all this junk come from?
It's not that long since I had a major decluttering session here. Less than a year I'm sure. Yet this week finds me once again spending time chucking out "stuff". I'm sure I don't collect this stuff. I toss junk mail into the recycling bin as soon as I've flipped through it. Real mail gets read, answered and shredded. But there it is; drawers crammed full of .......things. Paper, twistie ties, empty envelopes, pictures that have torn themselves out of magazines and hopped into the drawers to join the clutter gathering there. Recipes. Lots of recipes that I'll probably never try. Rubber bands, pencils, pens that don't work. Huh? Oh yes, I meant to buy refills for those..... So I started in the bedroom. Take one drawer completely out, empty it on the bed. Put back the things I need, ditch the rest into the bin beside my feet. Replace the drawer. Repeat process until all drawers have been done. Move into the laundry. Haul that box ...
