Having someone beside me with fresh eyes and no emotional attachment to any of the objects allowed me to see each piece as it really was – just a thing I was hanging on to because someone I loved had given it to me but I was no longer using. Don’t worry – I was not stripped of my favourite treasures. Gillian made suggestions, but the decision to keep or recycle was always mine to make.
If you think you need help to declutter, do it! Getting things sorted is such a relief. It took much less time than anticipated. She helped with clearing things from the house, to charities, getting them recycled. Magic!
