hungrienorie-nik-naks: de-cluttering day at Marilyn's

Cor, blimey, Marcus had lots to clear his DVDs, CDs and books. When he left the chapel where he used to live on the border of Suffolk and Essex, he took some of his clutter to his mum's. (Thanks, mum, that's what mum's for! cheeky...)

We were thinking of doing car boots sale, but never got round it. When we sorted, some were broken, scratched or out dated etc, so decided to take them to charity shops. Some, I've put them on amazon and eBay, just waiting for some notifications.

De-cluttering makes me feel good. Feels like I'm actually doing something, clear some space for more, new things to come in. This is how I feel after de-cluttering: "Just been to the toilet, I was constipating for a while, and spending 20mins sitting on the toilet, finally I was able to release...", that kind of feeling. if you are eating food, please excuse me. :-)

Actually it was quite inspirational for me to de-clutter mine too. When I got back, I did a bit, because I quite often take my clutter to charity shops, I don't really have much. Well, at moment...

My friend Russell and Vicki love doing car boot, they are already planning to do some more this year. You know what I said when he told me their plans for this year, "Again? how much more clutter do you have???" It puzzled me. How one can own so much stuffs?

Well, easily done, I used to be a collector (not a hoarder), I collected, collected, and collected so much clutter. When I got rid of 80% of them (which I didn't need), I felt much better. Felt like finally dealt with some old stuffs (both physical and emotional), felt new "me" was born! Now, I got my flat, not cluttered, but I got lots of: clothes, books, Cd's, cooking/kitchen stuffs and stocked up cupboard...I reckon (it's not an excuse) I don't have as much as some of my friends, so, I'm alright. (I hope)

After spending a couple hours clearing, Marcus and I drove up to the local tip in Saxmundham. It was tidy and quiet. Unlike one in Sudbury, it's usually need to queue for long time.

By the time we went back to Marilyn's, bless her, she made some lunch. It was really lovely surprise, and finished our day with delicious salads and soup.
