Have started to Lighten Up with Peter Walsh. I've watched lots of his Youtube videos and borrowed one of his books from the library.

Today it is sorting through magazines. I gathered every single magazine I had from under the coffee table, bedside table etc.
You can choose your favourite magazine and keep all copies - Donna Hay for me for now. All other magazines you sort into piles and can only keep 3 back issues of each. It didn't take too long as I ditched about 300 magazines when I had the garage sale.

I've now got rid of 54 magazines and kept 20 along with my 70 issues of Donna Hay and 10 Kids Issues of Donna Hay - 80 sounds a nice place to stop and I won't be renewing my subscription. I can fit all my magazines onto 2 shelves in the storeroom with room to spare. FEEL LIGHTER ALREADY  ;D

Great going, Michele. 
I've been trying to do "40 bags in 40 days" - I think I have to break over the school holidays though as the kids want to keep EVERYTHING.  :-))  I've done over 30 already!  Finally gone through the baby gear again now that we know the new baby in the family is a niece not a nephew (as DS is the only boy cousin I thought some of his castoffs could be useful if the bub was a boy, but not to be). 

We have actually had 3 lovely winter days here - probably cold by Australian standards, but we have been enjoying it.  Now I just need to fold the mountain of washing that has actually gotten dry!

And Robyn, I'll join you in those bubbles because I GOT THE JOB! 😄
Found out yesterday, and luckily I have a day off today because it will take me ages to complete the forms they sent for the background checks. 😛
Congratulations Dee ;D
