How to live like a minimalist!
Do you really need six pairs of nail clippers , enough paper clips to supply three primary schools , three spatulas , six jugs , three mascaras , ten pairs of jeans , three rolls of sticky tape , three hammers , two mallets ...........no ? Me neither but that's what we've probably kept just incase . Incase we've got thousands of presents to wrap , or we need to cut all the toenails of all the people in the village at the same time , or maybe our spatulas will spontaneously combust and we may need a spare . It's utter lunacy, but if you're anything like me you're likely to have most things in duplicate , just incase .
who pointed out that most things can be replaced within a few hours for less than a few quid if it is an emergency . I have been known to ask the neighbours to open a can of kidney beans for me when my can opener broke for the umpteenth time , so we can get by if we have to.
Let go of all your "Just incases" , when was the last time just incase happened ? And if it does it's more likely to be your washing machine which combusts rather than your spatulas !
Are you drowning in clutter , drop us a line below if you feel you need some motivation to get started on your decluttering journey we'd love to chat !

Laundry, don't you just love it ? Its ability to triple in size in the blink of an eye. The empty basket of laundry you smile at smugly as you walk past laughs at you on the way back when your other half has collected a huge pile of dirty stuff from God knows where. 
The school holidays are upon us and along with the no rush, non shouty mornings that come with it so does all the mess. Tons of it . There's the obvious food mess, plates left out, drinks spilt, crisps dropped. There's the toy mess... So many toys, endless piles of random toys stuck together in a heap which only makes sense to a four year old. The clothes, the shoes , the paper , the art, the crayons, the knitting etc etc . Then there's the un obvious mess, the surprises you find in the most extraordinary places ... The sweet wrapper in the candle holder, the half chewed sweet behind a cushion, the underpants in the paddling pool, the Lego in the shower and so forth and so on ...
