Decluttering help

Decluttering is going ok felt a bit overwhelmed so trying small things like one drawer or box for eg.
I have been going to charity shop once a week with some stuff and selling things on ebay if you want to see my listings go to http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/simplycardz

Serrapeptase could this be the solution?

I came across this supplement Serrapeptase when I was looking on the net for something to help my SIL who has fibroids she started it and found it is helping her already after just a few weeks so I decided to trial it myself to see if it could help me too so today I started it and I am very hopeful.  I already found that my sinuses which are permanently blocked have improved a little.  So for more info look on this site and download the free pdf of the book it is very interesting indeed. 

Are you a hoarder?

Am making a little headway which is great the book I have No More Clutter by Sue Kay (highly recommended) says you should start off small and work up or if you have a huge amount of clutter you can easily become overwhelmed with it.  I did want to sort the spare room but then I think the living room is a better place to start as that is somewhere that really needs to be tidy.  I actually avoid people coming round and would rather meet them out than have them see the mess so it really needs changing.  But small steps is the way as I am the type of person (highly driven) who wants everything done now.  So far I have sorted my make up bag and got rid of half of it I use natural make-up and it doesn't last as long as others and half of it was out of date which I had been using.  I also took out of the bedroom two chairs which are clutter areas but then last night it was a tricky one tyring to find where to put the clothes for last night so I did bring one chair back in for now anyway, if it keeps piling up it is definitely going.  If you just do ten minutes a day then you can achieve a lot.  Deal with the post as it comes in resist the urge to just put it out of sight but it is not out of mind. I got really mad today our boiler needs servicing and I was hunting through piles of papers on my husbands' filing cabinet which are waiting to be shredded or filed.  He is also a messy one like me.
I am hoping my new found good habits will rub off eventually.  Hope so do the clutter test to see if you need to deal with clutter. 
Time how long it takes to get hold of these common items:
1. your passport
2. the spare house door key
3. your doctor's phone number
4. your last bank statement
5. an envelope and stamp
Less than 5 minutes to find the lot? Then you are decluttered and efficiently organised.  Ask yourself how stressful it felt.  Do you think you could improve on your time?  De cluttering experts vary on whether they think we should find things in 30 seconds or a minute.  More than 5 minutes? Chances are you are already wasting time on a daily basis looking for things you have lost.

Craft Therapy: Decluttering is never ending

These bugs are bugging me

Not been well at all lately with cold after cold just at back end of another one and it's really wearing me down.  I am going to eat raw garlic every night in the hope it might help me not succumb to them so often.
I might smell but it's a small price to pay!
I have been reading the Book Healing the Child Within by Charles L. Whitfield and there is a wonderful poem by Charles Finn called Here what I am not saying which I am sure we can all relate to.

Craft Therapy: Busy time & Kitchen is almost finished: "Sorry nothing much to blog lately as been so busy getting ready for our kitchen renovation which is almost done now but now it's the cleanin..."

Kitchen done

Pleased with kitchen looks really nice it was hectic and tiring and I stayed at my parent's when it was been done so was glad to get back to my own bed!  Worth it though to get out of the mess.
Hopefully I will get back to my crafting soon as I have missed it lately.
