I am Nea, and I endorse this message: 56 Things You Can Toss Out Now. (Check the links at the bottom too. Courtesy homekeeping, that wonderful and somewhat life-changing community.)

For those who follow the Clutter Chronicles, (ooo, I may have a new tag name), there hasn't been a Sunday 7 because of the surprisingly severe readjustment to life with the new job. It's about all I can do to keep up with normal cleaning. Next week won't be any better, but I'm hoping that the week after that things will have settled down into the new normal routine.

On the fannish side of things, I also endorse persiflage_1's discovery of the glory of Harry Sullivan (the first doctor to be dissed by the Doctor), with the two crackalicious vids linked.

Ha! I found the stash of my mother's mother's table linen this afternoon. It's somewhat higher quality than crocheted doilies but I should probably still chuck most of it out. Sigh. It's taken a month but my brother and I are finally throwing out the last of the rubbish and I forsee tough decisions in our immediate future. Thank you for the link.

You're welcome.

I don't know which is harder - tossing your own stuff, or tossing someone else's.

Bearing in mind my intention to move house, I've been doing both simultaneously. When I throw out an item of my father's and I know I have something similar unused at home then I chuck it out as soon as I get back.

That's a really good way of handling it.

My mother had to go through her father and sister's stuff; I think it's one of the reasons why my parents have been slowly but steadily paring their things down for a while.
