| when was the last time you had a good declutter ?
I do my best to keep on top of things but it can be hard when both my husband and my daughter are both hoarders in one way or another.
I try to allot places for different things and they start off pretty good for a while but both slide back to leaving things or stashing things for a later date grrr.
How well do you get on when you try to have a good throw out ? | |
