get rid of unnecessary possessions

We’re more or less at the point of ‘less really unnecessary stuff’, but we still have too much stuff. The next lot of stuff will be harder to get rid of. Hmmm. Need a plan for this.

Took some clothes books and other things to the charity shop. We are opening boxes we haven’t opened in years, deciding to keep or give away, then putting the ‘keepers’ onto shelves (for things like lamps, kitchen gear, etc) or in bins (towels, sheets, holiday decorations etc). We have way too much anonymous electronic crap – piles of leads from old PCs, TVs etc, old phone chargers, power cords, adapters, speakers, really we have three bins worth. Have no idea what to do with them.

I gave the books away on Freecycle.

I collected the books I know I’ll never read again in a pile on the floor. It has made space in the shelves for the new books I have bought…
