A friend that I used to work with runs a boy scouts and cub scouts group fairly locally and a couple of times a year they hold a 'jumble sale' to raise extra funds so today, despite a migraine, I have been sorting out the cupboards and wardrobes for things to send.
Unfortunately, I can only work at slow speed with a migraine so consequently I have only achieved a fraction of what I wanted but nevertheless, the bags of jumble sorted so far look fairly substantial. Another reason for doing this is to ensure that if the right property becomes available nearer to Sarah and my grand-children, I will be ready to move straight away. I have decided that I don't want to be surrounded by useless 'clutter' that requires dusting and an annual wash, instead, I would rather have the time saved so that I could participate in more pleasurable activities!
One thing I did realise when I was sorting through the wardrobe is that some of the clothes have what I call 'wardrobe fatigue'. This means that they have become crumpled and tired looking so from this week, anything that I haven't worn recently will go through the wash and then, when clean and pressed, I will pack away the lightweight summer clothes and T shirts and just keep the winter clothes hanging up. This will give me more space in the wardrobe so clothes will have less chance of looking creased and will also save time if I am able to move.
I am so glad that the scouts have these sales because it saves me a lot of hassle trying to get everything to charity shops as my friend collects everything and it also helps with the scouts funds.
Tomorrow, it's the drawers under the bed to be sorted and then the kitchen cupboards!
