Well, May was seriously warm – the hottest I can remember since moving North 14 years ago. We spent loads of time in the garden, and it was definitely worth decluttering all our winter to summer stuff in 31 things to declutter in May.
The warm weather is set to continue, so I thought that this month, we’d take advantage of this and declutter our garages, sheds, basements…

As you are decluttering, look for things where you can solve a problem. For example, does your hosepipe need an attachment to make it fit the tap properly? Take the time to get one. Get rid of things that you know you don’t need, that you don’t use or love. Acknowledge the things that are causing you guilt, and remove them. Enjoy the space this creates, and enjoy being able to find your things!
