Re: The magic of tidying
I do love them @Shaz51! But They're shedding a lot at the moment. So I'm trying to vacuum more regularly!

Re: The magic of tidying
They're beautiful @TuxedoCat . My boy enjoys a regular brushing with a slicker brush which helps a bit with the shedding.

Re: The magic of tidying
Making progress. Paint I'd had 25 years and old electricals went to the tip today. Culled more magazines, freeing bookshelf space. But it's slow progress. I wanted to see results by Christmas but it still feels overwhelming.

Re: The magic of tidying
Hope you're OK @EternalFlower.
How are you going @Shaz51 . Today I tackled the back garden... lots of prickles, I should have worn gloves.
Have more shredding to do.

Re: The magic of tidying
Sounds good @Dimity hi @TuxedoCat @Eve7 @Shaz51
I did my make up products which went well, than bought some gift boxes at the newsagent and found some nice ways to store them. They also have cute boxes at the op shop.
It helps me to be more mindful of what I buy, and I kinda touch objects in the store in a spark joy way, waiting to see which ones give me a "lift"

Re: The magic of tidying
Glad you've found a system that works @EternalFlower . I went through phases of buying gift boxes, square wicker baskets, and storage tubs at different times. And archive boxes (conventional boxes collapsed when I stacked them). These days I'm deconstructing them and rediscovering their contents.

Re: The magic of tidying
@EternalFlower I've taken a few nice books to the Salvos but still have the bulk of them. The place I was going to give them to was flooded. But just today I was talking to a second-hand bookshop about them... fingers crossed they'll take some.
I've found I also have a lot of craft stuff.
