I have what could be a Big Idea, but don't want to jump into it without careful thought and planning. So am both thinking, and also talking about it to other people and hearing their ideas and responses. <br />I've managed with the help of both my sons to go through quite a bit of 'stuff' we've been keeping in case it was useful for them when they have their own homes - much of it isn't, so it's gone onto Freegle and into other people's spaces to be used - so much better than just sitting around cluttering up our space.<br />Still not started running, but I have been very active in other ways, so not going to beat myself up on that one. Time enough to get ready for the 5K that's coming up in July.<br />Try something new - well, I kind of adopted that as a way of life this year, and I'm loving it.<br />Good luck with your challenges, and I hope you enjoy your week off - let's hope the sun keeps on shining!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-11576420236521006492015-05-26T02:38:25.203+01:002015-05-26T02:38:25.203+01:00Well my first week hasn't been anything like I...Well my first week hasn't been anything like I thought it would be. I have been having my lemon and hot water regularly - a winter must! I have been enjoying my new CD, I was very focused on getting my photos organised and have got 3/4 of 2013 done in one week! But very little decluttering, and not really feeling fabulous. I had a virus a few weeks ago which has caused eye irritation (now the added infection has gone at least!) so I certainly don't look fabulous! And to add insult to injury, now I have tonsillitis as well! Another week at home for me with, but I'm adding ice cream into my feeling fabulous routine - it makes my sore throat feel fabulous ;) Acutally, I have been having fun with scarves, all collected for $2 each at my local op shop. I wear a lot of black and love being able to jazz things up with a bright scarf. I'm hoping to have a healthier 2nd week! My husband, while not officially playing along, has got a new computer for school (he's also a music teacher) and has been setting up his i-tunes. As he's been going through our very un-minimalist CD collection (mostly his :)) he has been weeding out things he can't imagine listening to again, and 'status CD's, the one's young cool people keep just incase the CD police come and check their collections. We're neither young nor cool anymore! There are around 40 CD's and DVD's sitting in my hallway waiting to go to our favourite music shop, who do trade-ins and store credit :) Right, enough from me! Have a good week :)Clare and Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480118766581163139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-79685506514748977062015-05-25T12:32:05.898+01:002015-05-25T12:32:05.898+01:00I spent Sunday helping my sister in law pack up al...I spent Sunday helping my sister in law pack up all her mother's fine china. What a long & tedious job! I kept thinking about my own things & what I could declutter when I got home. I don't need/want that much china or anything else.

On the decluttering Hubby let go of 2 suits and 5 shorts as he has lost loads of weight and I managed to discard lots of silly junk in my sewing box. we have a garage full of stuff to do and keep putting it off!Elderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.com
