Well done, DaphB. You've made me feel very tired already. I am trying to work out where all those pillows have come from and what I'v going to do with them.

I am useless at decluttering, the very thought of seriously paring back my life, my wardrobe, books, shoes gives me a panic attack so I have started a "little by little" approach.
Yesterday I binned 6 items I no longer use from my make up bag, "unfriended" 6 people I never see/talk to on FB, and put 6 books into a bag for the charity shop. Today I will do 6 pairs of shoes, 6 tops/tee shirts and maybe 6 items from the dreaded kitchen drawer will bite the dust.
Feeble, but it is a start.
Why 6? Just seemed a good number, more than 5 but very doable.
