12 Kgs lighter - The Simple Life

During the week I lost 12 kgs! 12 kgs of clothes that is, I went through all the baby clothes again, gave a few away, put some aside for the NCT sale in a few weeks and dropped off 12kg at the clothing recycling place.  Mainly kids stuff, but a few of my things too.

Now I need to convince K that he needs to go through all his clothes and have a clean out.

I'm feeling good about my clear out and the loft space is not looking as cramped as well.

Next step, trying to got paperless with all the bills and accounts.....

Little baby steps towards a simpler clutter free life.

A Simple Life

This year, I have ambitions of decluttering my life and home and finishing lots of craft projects I've been putting off for the past few years.  But there never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done, with the kids, housework, exercising etc.  I've been reading a few blogs about people who take the minimalist approach to their life with their home, wardrobe and  food and its great interesting and shocking at what lengths people will go to, to create a simple life.   I'm definitely not going to go to any extremes but I do sometimes feel my life would be easier if it wasn't filled with so much stuff and choice.  First on the agenda is getting rid of all the kids old clothes, and going through my wardrobe.  My work suits from eight years ago when I worked in London are just  wasting space, and why do I have about 5 pairs of painting jeans and hoodies?
My personal deadline for getting rid of all these clothes is the end of May.
