The big step..

Since I have decided to get rid of everything we don't need, it has been a huge job. But I am feeling so free. I feel sad that I have so much to sort threw but also happy that I am doing it. I now understand how much this affected my family. 

So far in the last 6 mths we have gotten rid off

*3  huge trailers worth of stuff to the dump. (most of this was stored under our 2 story house not used for 4 years)

*4 strippy bags to the op shop 

* and a huge mountain of items we will have a garage sale to get rid off.

*but the biggest thing to me is some old chairs I have moved house with 4 times,  saying that I would do them up etc. They are now gone, it hurt to get rid of them. But I had to make my self do it, I have not had time in the last 4 years and now my life has gotten busier they had to go. 

also

*a heap of old pictures that I got from my dad. I have never hung any of them up as I didn't like them but kept them since they where from dad. After years of moving they had stayed in the same box and most of them had mildew and where broken, so I decided to put them where they belong and that was out of my house. I still have memories of them and thats all I need.

and I am still going but I only have our room to go and 2 storage containers of craft items in our sons room to go :) 

In our room I have already gotten rid of 2 garbage bags of junk that was in boxes under the bed and 2 boxes of items to go to the garage sale and 10 items of clothing to the op shop. I shouldn't have that much more to get rid off, its more organising to do then anything .
