Getting the youngsters ready for the BIG return to school was a bit traumatic, but in our household and in @LauraH too, we took it as an opportunity to do some spring cleaning. πͺ
Iβve got to admit there were a few arguments and near tantrums & tears as to which items should be given to charity or up-cycled. I wonβt mention the entangled nightmare of the electronics drawers; old wiring, headphones and chargers π± You can imagine I was extremely unpopular for a full day.
The photo below π is an accurate representation of the result of the very rare but much needed de-clutter.
What about you?
Do you have any decluttering/spring cleaning tips and of course, how to avoid the household drama? As always, let us know below.

Oh I love to clutter, and dont forget you need to keep the boxes for EVERYTHING !!
And the adapters for items I dont have anymore that may use once in 10 years, I had to relegated them to a box in the shed

What about reusing or upcycling?
The number of earphones found in drawers was ridiculous so they went into the car for use on long trips. Whenever that's going to happen! Some old pots are being used for growing herbs, and look great. We found old curtain poles and repurposed them into a shoe rack. Now I have to say that I always have at least 4 empty shoeboxes tucked away somewhere for "storage". @Donegal-3
@RainbowRuth an actual photo of what I sent to himself asking " do we need these?" to which he replied "yes". otherwise, I'd send them to you π
