Less is... less!

Evening all!

Well, it’s Sunday evening and I’ve been busy doing nothing – well, trying to, anyway.  You see, my New Year’s Resolution is to do less so today, rather than running around like a mad woman, I’ve been pottering at home.  Okay, so the pottering included cleaning, ironing and beginning my de-clutter, but it was quite restful by my standards... read more in my Anglo Info blog.  Oh, and let me know if you take on my new mantra too!

Well, it's a start...

Anyway, back to my day.  Yep, you read that correctly – I am de-cluttering.  Those of you who have visited my flat are probably rolling your eyes and muttering “about bloody time” – you see, another mantra of mine is “love me, love my tut” – but I’m not getting rid of it all by any means, just streamlining.  A bit.  Yes yes, I’ve read all the magazine articles and heard about Feng Shui and know that having a home clear of clobber is supposed to be good for the mind, body and soul, but my stuff is part of me.  A majority of my nick-knacks are presents or bits I have picked up on my travels, and my books are full of inspiration and ideas that I wouldn’t want to lose.  Okay, so I don’t really need to buy CDs anymore or get my photos printed out, but, despite my new Smart telly (which so far I have managed to use without difficulty thank you very much!), I am still something of a technophobe and can’t quite get my head around the concept of keeping all my bits and pieces on the “cloud” - or whatever you call it.

So there you go – my excuse for not extending my “less is more” mantra to my belongings.  A friend who is much better at these things than me is Lisa – who was sporting the “Clean Queen” pinny I made her for Christmas whilst she did her housework yesterday.  Look out for the photo which I will add to my “crafts” page in due course.

Well, that’s all from me folks – I’m off to watch a DVD and paint my nails.  Mmm, I could get used to this new lifestyle...
