Too much stuff...

We finally moved into our new house a few days ago. Moving day went pretty well, with all of our furniture moved on Wednesday morning in just a few hours. We spent the rest of the week moving our other stuff from the rental to our new house. Given that we have downsized our house from what we were living in over in Perth, we can now get a better perspective of how much stuff we actually have.

Sonia did quite a bit of decluttering before we left Perth, and we thought we had gotten rid of quite a bit. Looks like we will be doing more of the same as we unpack and settle in to the new place. We seem to have more stuff than room for it all. Conveniently enough, the council is doing a kerbside bulk rubbish collection in our area in a week or so.

This is a good thing - we can get rid of stuff that we really don't need, but have been hanging on to for whatever reason. It's good to look at things and realise that you really don't need it. Decluttering your physical environment is a good opening to decluttering the rest of your life, should you so feel inclined. Certainly works for me.

Now to get ready for going back to work tomorrow. If only I could get rid of that too...
