So, last week Leon and I bought a house! Well, actually a perfectly sized flat. The thing about our perfectly sized flat is that it’s a bit smaller than our current rather home – where we live now is a giant flat built in the 1960s. We’ve got loads of space, a dining room, a garage and a storage room. Unfortunately, not too much maintenance has been done on the place in the last three decades. The place we’ve bought is lovely – 15 years old, with a new kitchen, views to forever and nothing is falling apart. But it’s got a carspot, and room for a dining table in the living room. So, I’ve had a look at my stuff and I’m getting rid of things like a crazy lady! Also, it turns out I’d rather get rid of everything than move it. I'm destashing as if we are moving into the carspot, rather than the flat! All our CDs –GONE. All the DVDs –given away, books - bye bye...

It’s been really interesting, especially in relation to my crafting things. I’ve got quite a lot of spinning fibre, and I’m getting rid of it all, except the rainbow braids I’m currently spinning. If I ever actually finish those, I can buy some more. There are decisions that seem a little bit more difficult – like my 2nd spinning wheel, and my out of control notions collection, but I’m going to keep listening to The Minimalists podcast, and keep reminding myself that anything can be bought again, should I need to, which I imagine I won’t, because this whole experience is making me feel so light and free.
