Decluttering advice please!!


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I am currently trying to declutter our house and realise just how many "congratulations on your baby" cards and subsequent child birthday cards we have! Do people keep these or throw them out? I find myself feeling guilty about my desire to put most of them in the bin!

I would be interested to hear about what other people do. Thanks!

When I'm organised enough (which isn't often) I arrange some of the birthday cards for a particular birthday and just take one photo of the lot. Then chuck... Do the same with accumulated collections of baby/boy shoes - although these go the the shoe reuse/recycle thingy.

I deal with the guilt by cutting images off all cards I like, incl lovely birthday and Christmas cards , punching a hole in them and turning them into gift tags with a bit of raffia ribbon. Sounds 'crafty', which I'm not, but I have a tin full of lovely gift tags for all occasions, saving about 50p each time.

Now I don't feel the cards are wasted...result!

    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔

    • Saying cyclists are the most antisocial people in London isn't helpful.  Nor is the Standard referring to cyclists as lycra clad louts  Yes we can have an adult conversation.  But emotive knee jerk nonsense is not going to achieve this and just plays into the hands of those wanting a manufactured culture war
