More decluttering


You may well sense a theme to this lot of decluttering - mostly it came from where I store the tablecloths etc - so here are 4 tablecloths which I no longer use because a) they are round and our table is oval (we've had one leaf in since Alex was big enough to sit at table in a highchair) and b) they no longer match the dining room, which used to be a warm golden yellow, but is now a sort of of pale terracotta pink colour. Off to the charity shop this morning! There are also some orange placemats and a variety of napkins sets we don't use (I have counted each set of napkins as one, regardless of how many there are). And finally, to cap it off (ha ha) a hat & mittens set which neither girl will wear and a pair of mittens too small for Olivia. I was keeping them for winter emergencies, but frankly, winter is nearly over, and we still have other pairs of gloves & mittens, so it's time for them to go...

We have been doing other things besides decluttering, but whether they are interesting or not is a matter for some debate - today, for instance, Olivia was dropped off from a sleepover party in late morning; I took Sarah to her tennis lesson and ran some errands (including a trip to the charity shop!); Geoff took the girls to see Jacqui Wilson's Secrets at the Polka Theatre while I took Alex to a birthday party. See how exciting our lives are?
