Huzzah! The sicky Beloved and the sicky Bear have managed to accomplish some decluttering! Today has been a successful day already.
The Elder Offspring was asked if we needed to store all of her old school and college books. Thankfully, the answer was only art, ceramic, product design and psychology. This means about half of her books can be decluttered.
This morning, we took two boxes of books and ceramics and reduced them to one box. The box has now been stored safely in the guest room until such times as we can take them over to England.
Even better, another load has been sorted. A large bin bag full of rubbish has been created. Items have been removed for donating, and a much smaller pile of items to be retained is now on my bed. This will have to be dealt with, but it will mean putting it in a box and taking it to the guest room - a much smaller job!

Part of this procedure is to remove the Elder Offspring's belongings from the Noodle Bowl. Yesterday, I was reading anxiety levels can be increased by living in a cluttered mess. That would be a fair description of Younger Offspring's bedroom. They have so much stuff of their own, and also EO's in the room. We will tackle it bit by bit, creating together, a calm, ordered sanctuary.
