Seems true that the more you get rid of stuff, the easier it is to do.
Having found 100 articles of clothing to pass on (and that in the end it wasn't all that painful) I'm wondering if i can find a further 265 this month and be done with it. Totally up my 365. Thinking of the space that this will free up! I might have to count things that are so knackered that they have to go in the ragbag: have just googled 'Do Oxfam take rags?' and yes they do, preferring these to be bagged up separately and labelled so that volunteer time is not wasted on sorting these out. That's alright then. Wonder if the same policy applies to the glitter encrusted platforms from 1990s '1970s revival' (thank you United Footwear for happy memories) that I went through? And the rest of you - you know who you are!
Am catching myself trying to remember what I got rid of last night, and whether it was a mistake, and whether I ought to have another look through the bags......and that I know I have to get over it! Honestly, when your sorting criteria boils down to 'Would I buy this in a charity shop? and the answer is categorically 'No' then you have to ask yourself why you were mad enough to line the walls of your house with it for years. That's not to say that someone else won't want it though. Hopefully. Otherwise that's just fly tipping at Oxfam.
