I think I am getting the hang of it. I have thrown out stuff that I have for ages and not used for ages but might use one day tut tut! My home is looking less cluttered. Still have a little way to go but I feel refreshed. I need to do other rooms this coming weekend.
One problem I have is keeping to one room at a time. I must confess that I get side tracked and this means it may actually be taking me more time than it should. Oh well upwards and onwards.
Back to work tomorrow - oh well soon be Christmas!! Oh and I love it!

De-clutter
I am trying to de-clutter my home. Easier said than done I found out. The biggest problem I faced was the fact that both my husband and I are book lovers. My home is full of them. I must have thrown out 15 and put a pile aside for my daughter, most of which was cookery books.
After an hour or so there many books remain although they look a lot tidier. So that was the front room. In the bedroo I could not find any books to throw away and I have a cardboard box full near my bed and a bookshelf!!
I have also de-cluttered a cupboard in the front room. I feel like I have a long way to go but I am pleased with what I have done so fat. I also feel the need to just empty the whole home and start again its full of rubbish which I do not seem able to throw out. If any of you have any tips I would be very very grateful.

Winter Blues
I still don't seem to be able to shake myself out of the doldrums. Still working hard. Feel that the flat is a mess, needs doing up but we are so tired. Cannot afford to get someone in to sort it out.
Busy week last week at work and the week before. I had to work yesterday afternoon and at little this morning. This week looks like its going to be busy this week. At the High Court in London this week for a case, am excited and a little nervous at the same time.
Did a pile of ironing last night and the housework is nearly done. I should be feeling happier but its so dark and horrid outside. Off to see my sister and her family later, it is my neice's birthday tomorrow and I am taking a present round.
On the subject of presents I have bought some Christmas presents, I am also going to use some of the vouchers I have saved up over the year for pressies too. In terms of food I have, cake, sweets, and Christmas pud so am getting there. I do not have a hamper this year after the debacle one year where that company went into administration.
Well I am off now to see if I can cheer myself up!!
