Clutter

My friends and family think I have OCD in the cleaning department, I actually don't, I just love a neat, clean and clutter free environment. I always feel less stressed when i know my house is presented in a way that makes me feel comfortable, which is always expect that unexpected visitor, I do have a small bleach obsession and have a morning ritual of cleaning all the toilets , cleaning my kitchen (morning and night) I cant start my day until i know everything is as it should be. I am constantly de cluttering and again people wonder how I have got anything left to de clutter, well the answer is I have a shopping addiction, I bore easily and am forever buying new things for my home and so its always a case of out with the old and in with the new. I have a fabulous local selling site (similar to ebay) but no fees and people are local so collect things the same day. They will pretty much buy anything... So this week having a quieter week and a bit of sun, I began the shed tidy up, each time I do this I am more and more ruthless and If I haven't used anything since the last de clutter, out it goes..I must be the only person i know that has two huge lofts both of which are empty, a garage that has been converted into a living room so no clutter there, endless amounts of cupboards (having raided IKEA) that are mostly empty, 3 kitchen units (yes i kid you not) I have a range oven, a dishwasher and there is only room for 3 cupboards (no wall units) and they are filled but there is always room to sort them out (in fact as im writing this, that will be my next task today) I have a huge shed, which is now empty apart from the lawn mower. But it will nicely house my garden furniture come Autumn. Deep deep down Im sure Im a closet messy individual, so sometimes my car is the place that is my messy place, however I seem to have stopped that now too and am cleaning and hoovering it, Iv even bought an in car bin as Im fed up of throwing my Mcd Latte cup on the floor until I can be bothered to have a clean up.. so the last thing that often gets a little cluttered is my Handbag! Come on ladies we all do it, well mine is a large one (I say it like I only have 1 handbag, I have .. well lets say more than 1) Mine was overflowing this morning so I have just given it an Emma de clutter.... what do you have in yours?? This is what I had in mine? 1. Sunglasses (neatly in there case of course given how much they cost) 2. Driving Glasses (again in there case and for the same reason) 3. Purse, overflowing with coppers and receipts (now neatly put in my accounts folder) 4. Lots of keys for my houses (neatly now in my key safe, where they should be) 5. lots of packets of mints, most of which had found there way to the bottom of my bag 6. make up bag which is heavy and Im not the kind of girl that obsesses about touching up make up in fact i rarely wear it, so that has been banished to my bathroom. 7. Tablets... painkillers, hay-fever tablets, hay-fever nose spray 8. tissues & baby wipes (now now... I always have my toddler niece & nephew) 9. Bum bag - no idea why that was in there, but useful none the less for my weekend beach trip with toddlers as now i don't need to take my hand bag!! 10. pictures off my niece 11. bottle of water (yes Im trying) 12. unopened post from my other house which I was kindly given yesterday and I think she saved up about 3 months worth, now opened and dealt with!! 13. CD disk to remind me to give to my friend who is having my printer! 14. elastic band....mmm no idea but im sure useful. 15. Hair bands & clips 16. 10 biro's (now in my pen pot on my desk) 17.
