Decluttering

I've been decluttering lately, massively decluttering. 

I read in one of the (many) decluttering books I borrowed from the library, that the idea is not to find more places to store things, but to get rid of the stuff that doesn't have storage, and make do. And if you can't make do? Out she goes.

I did brutally throw some stuff in the rubbish I figured no-one else would want either, but there is also a huge box of books and Cds and Dvds to give to the local charity shop, that I think some people would like to have. Some of the CDs were my late mum's, and our tastes weren't exactly the same. Mum loved jazz, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Billy Holiday and so on, but I'm not so keen. Although there were a few of her CDs I played, and just adored. Acker Bilk, for one. I love that CD but funnily, I never heard Mum play it, at least while I was around.

So the house is looking a bit more ordered, and for the fun of it, cat picture below. She's a cutie, that one.
