In Spring I do Spring cleaning, in Autumn I do Autumn clearing.

This is about half of the stuff that either went to the tip, a charity shop or community centre.

I found I had accidentally hoarded a pile of bank statements from ten years ago, mobile phone statements from fifteen years ago, my Record Of Achievement from high school and Scrabble from family holidays as a kid! Everything that got left behind in my room when I moved out, then got ignored when I moved back in a few years later.

I now have a load of room under my bed and my desk and a two free half sized draws. I’m moving out again so it’s less to deal with then. Sorting everything was hard work but sort of fun!

Are you due for an Autumn Clearing?
