I’ve been forgetting to post all the little bits & pieces I’ve been doing, but it’s even nicer to be able to write one post reporting some actual progress that’s come of all those baby steps!

I’ve finally – gasp! – actually finished one particular area. Well, sort of. All the little random boxes and bags of toiletries – by which I mean not just bathroom stuff but also make-up, jewellery, hair stuff, manicure stuff, etc etc (did I recently say I didn’t go in for that kind of girly stuff? I seem to have a lot of toiletries :-p ) – are all unpacked and sorted. I threw out a lot of things, put together a bag for the bring bank in work, and piled everything I want to keep into one drawer. That drawer still needs further sorting, but at least everything is finally in one place.

Of the four big boxes that were at the end of the sofa, three are unpacked and the fourth – I think – is stuff I had put aside to donate in some long-ago decluttering bid, so it’ll need only the most cursory going-through and can go straight into the current donation bags. I came across a couple of treasures, wound up with two small boxes for ebaying/donation and a couple things for storage, and the rest got trashed.

Finally got the beanbag all the way to Little Bro, too. I’d brought it out to my mom’s – who lives close by him – a few weeks ago, but it needed de-cat-haired and a small hole in the cover stitched; I did that yesterday and brought it over.

Sigh… that all felt like great progress to me, but now that I see it written down it doesn’t actually look like that much. Still, it’s the furthest I’ve gotten for at least a year and a half, and more than I felt capable of ever doing not so many months ago. So I think it’s worth being proud of. :o)
