But as many come into the house, so we're at a sort of stalemate! It's hard to part with lovely, mint condition books, but it's a fact of life that space in our homes is finite.<br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-72093238703701984492015-06-03T21:55:52.576+01:002015-06-03T21:55:52.576+01:00I am very much with you on the de-cluttering, I...I am very much with you on the de-cluttering, I'm almost scared to stop in case I lose the thread!

Once something is selected for removal, I can't get it out of the house fast enough. I will say that it was funny. I just posted my own decluttering post on my blog - and then I opened up your blog - and lo-and-behold, we were on the same subject.

I always find I'm at the bottom of the pile and there's only me that can change that. It's easier said than done when you're used to putting other people first all the time.

I've been using coconut oil to wash my face, as all over moisturiser and deep conditioner for my hair and am very pleased with the results. Have been doing a breathing meditation a few of times a week and am aiming for every day! We are going to Berlin in a week or so and that will be a new place for us.

I have several bags of clothes, bedsheets etc. that have been in my spare room since Christmas time which I can't bare to part with 'just in case'! Maybe I will eventually get round to it this week....! <br />Ps.

I have a candle fad too - I think I'll address this in a separate post with photos if that's OK (thanks for inspiring a post).

I love having candles on the mantlepiece but I have candle holders for tealights and taper candles and pillar candles etc. etc.<br />I really loved your glass tealights you had at Christmas for advent and had decided I would just keep my similar set of those - but then I have worries about living without lovely tall taper candles! <br />We don't have a separate dining room to keep candles in, so the mantlepiece is the only safe area to light them so that the cats and dog don't have a fire accident. So how many candles can you really get on a mantlepiece!! Help!<br />Any advise to get my stupid head in order and get my candle collection into perspective! :)<br />Thank you ClaireCorrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465857162186196966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-19255043991415546292015-06-01T18:45:56.277+01:002015-06-01T18:45:56.277+01:00I bulk chuck, and have no qualms getting rid of th...I bulk chuck, and have no qualms getting rid of things until I realise later I might need what I have sold or donated.
