In 2 and a half hours we went from this, I'd been using it as a dumping ground as I sorted out other rooms.
To this.
It's looking so much better, I sorted fabric, cottons to Project Linus, fantasy and glittery ones to a local nursery. We filled a bag for the rubbish bin but most stuff was sent to people and places where it can be used. My next job is to sort the yarn.
And the narrow escape?
Claire told me there are professional declutterers who work on the Marie Kondo system of handling each item to see if it gives you joy. If we'd have done that, we'd have taken a week and not done half as much!

My goodness, girl, no wonder you needed to engage professional help! I thought I had a lot of stuff but I can't hold a candle to that lot ... well, I'd not hold a candle to it, that might cause real mayhem! But glad you have now sorted it!

Wow, great progress in such a short time, well done. It took me nearly a year to declutter my old house, I would not have been able to cope with asking things gave me joy and thanking them for their service.
One must remember that this Kondo woman has made of fortune out of this kind of rubbish speak. I just wish I'd thought about writing a book on how to tidy up and arrange my knicker drawer! She's not daft, is she?

It's a bit like all the diet books, we all know how to lose weight, it's doing it that takes effort.
Well done you! And as the parent of a child who has recieved a linus blanket a big thumbs up for giving them fabric :)
fabulous idea getting professional help...otherwise it drags on...good luck with the yarn...
