Oh Tracie thank you, I’m so glad you liked today’s video. I do quite enjoy having a great clear out, does help if you’re not too sentimental about possessions I guess. Must do some more soon while I still have my momentum going 🤣🥰
Great to share all those hand bags with you. Sometimes when l declutter l feel l need to do it all again, as l wasn't strong enough. Think all us gardeners need a break in winter. Decluttering does make you feel good. Look forward to your next decluttering video 👍😁 keep them coming 🤗
Thank you Penny and yes you are exactly right, I feel you have to do it twice as well! Goodness I don’t need all those bags! I never use them!! It’s nice to stop gardening and focus inside for a change. I’ll keep doing some more now, before I lose motivation 🥰 hope you’re ok xx
Hi Janette, Whenever I have a declutter (which isn't very often!) I get so distracted and will stop and look at things. I'm dreadful at keeping things that have sentimental value like 21st Birthday cards, letters and even school reports and I'm now 64! I'm a girly girl and an advertisers dream as I'll buy any potion that's meant to make me look younger plus any perfume that's going to drive the men wild when I walk down the street. (It never happens!) I wish I'd inherited my mum's love of housework as her place was always immaculate but I'll throw things in a cupboard and think out of sight out of mind.
Oh we all stuff things in the cupboards don’t we?! I am not very sentimental but my Mum keeps just everything like all her birthday cards etc. she sits and looks at them all again from time to time. I think whatever makes you happy, you should keep. But I do enjoy a real great clear out 😊 have a wonderful day 🥰
Hi Janette. Well let's face it that's kind of what we do in our gardens 😅. I moved recently so I haven't had time to accumulate but there's nothing more relaxing than watching others work and you were very efficient I think. Have a great day 😀
Hi Kim yes you’re right, we have a good declutter of the garden too this time of year. I love a good clear out, but it’s easy for me because I don’t really get sentimental about stuff. 🥰
I like the ring of that- Clutter Free for '2023! I'm just afraid of what may show up! 😄Probably even more of a reason to get cleaning. Thanks for sharing Janette!
Hello my friend!! I love a good declutter but never get to do it often enough. Really do not need all those handbags though I’ve since realised. 🤣 hope you’re ok, it has rained for a week here!! 😜
You are giving me a guilty conscience! My house needs a good work over. I love your collection of evening bags and your "cruise" wardrobe. I could hear Richard there in the background decluttering the kitchen drawers 🤣
🤣🤣 yes! He was. I’m going to film him clearing out the kitchen .. he’ll be very ruthless I just know it. We will probably start arguing about “to keep or not to keep” 🤣🤣 hope you’re ok 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener We are been blown to kingdom come both yesterday and today and probably tomorrow. We had sub-freezing temperature last night but the high wind made it feel even colder. It has already snowed on the higher peaks. With all the wind the garden is full of fallen leaves.
Oh my goodness Una that sounds like a crazy mad time you’re having. Here we’ve had rain every day for a week, apart from today. Still no first frost though. Winter has arrived for you though. You take care and keep warm 🥰
Hello Lil, I love clear outs I must say so I will definitely carry on. We have too much stuff don’t we? Thank you for always watching too 🥰 have a lovely week 🥰
When you are ready you can come here and continue. I have a lot of clutter to take care of, but no motivation 🤣. Well, now I am a little bit more motivated.🙂👍
Oh Magnus you have got to be in the mood for it havent you? 🤣 you can’t do it half-hearted 🤣 I am not sentimental so it’s not too difficult (apart from handbags), I really don’t need all those handbags 🤣 have a lovely week 🥰
Hi Janette I love your clutter free ethos...clutter free for 23👍💕. I had the 'urge' a week or so ago too. Hardly anything was thrown out but you are sometimes surprised at what you find. I have two sheds and they are going to be sorted next year i hope. Now we know where Lucy hides😂 Those ikea units are marvellous. Well done again Richard. I know you put them together. Enjoy your day☕💞💕
Good morning Sharon! Yes he did put them together 🤣🤣 well it rained all week and weekend so as I couldn’t garden it was a very good excuse to make a start. Lots more to do and it’s surprising how long it takes. Must keep up the momentum now and sort my clothes out. Yes, Lucy loves laying on her toys, I darent throw those away, she never plays with them, just uses them as her pillow although a few are quite spiky but she doesn’t seem to mind 🤣🤣🥰
Your home is so lovely. I can’t believe your kitchen was redone in 2007 - looks like it was done quite recently. I’m pretty sure I’m a hoarder and they say that comes from a disorganized mind. I am so sentimental, it’s hard to throw things out. (Thank goodness, I don’t save garbage and outdated food, etc. as some severely afflicted hoarders do. It really is an awful curse)! You’ve given me some food for thought about reducing my own clutter - one item in, one item out - a great idea. My biggest problem is: clothes! My weight fluctuates quite a bit so I feel I have to keep everything so I have something that fits. I must quit rambling on and go sort through some of my mess and get rid of some things today! Thank you for the inspiration, Janette! UPDATE: 3 hours later I’ve been purging and sorting since watching this inspirational video. THANK YOU! ♥️
We are all just so different aren’t we JC and while I might find it easy to part with things and you don’t, I’m sure there are things you do with ease that I struggle with. My weight fluctuates too but the problem I have is if I lose weight and fit into smaller clothes I then throw the bigger things away thinking I don’t want to have to need you any more. But of course that doesn’t actually stop me putting weight on, and then I have nothing to wear and pull on the same few things all the time. Oh aren’t people complicated!! 🤣🤣🥰
"Clutter free for 23" love it!! I retire next month and you have just inspired me Janette. I'm going to spend all January declutterring; house, clothes everything. Just need to get some strong tranquillisers for husband who is an incurable hoarder 😬🤭
Hello Julie, first of all I am very envious that you’re retiring! I can’t wait for that. And what better way to start off than with a good clear out. And it’s been surprising to read in these comments that a few people have said they are hoarders too and find it hard to part with things. We all have our idiosyncrasies don’t we? Maybe your husband won’t notice if you do it bit by bit 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thanks Janette, retirement is going to be a big step change for sure. Your video came just a the right time, really inspired me to get stuck in. Yes you're right I think I will have to take things slower with the husbands "collections" xxx
This has been a blast to watch you as the enthusiastic declutter-ist! I am trying to do the same. Thank you for the encouragement! I have never seen such an interesting collection of purses! It would be very difficult to get rid of any! I might send this to my daughter in Denver! She loves unusual items like this!❤
Hello Mary, I have far too many purses (we call them bags), I’m never going to need all of them. I think out of everything I find bags the hardest to part with. You’ve just made me realise that!! I do love a declutter though, I’m going to do more, I think it’s feeling organised that I like. Plus it’s nice to start a January feeling a bit tidier isn’t it? Have a wonderful week 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener they are so lovely though. Take them out now n then to admire or have a display ?? Decluttering certainly does help one feel in organized but for me, a situation I have control over!😉🥰
Oh thank you Adra, that kitchen is getting very old, 2007, but fortunately I do still like it. And my tango picture is fairly new. Hope you have a wonderful day 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I should have mentioned I like these types of videos too. I'm into interior design so I love seeing inside peoples homes. I hope you have a great day.
Wow, I need to do this! I think little fairies come into my closet at night and mess it up!! 😀 After the holidays I will get busy!!! I love your large closet and all the storage!! Very nice.
I don't know about anyone else, but I could always use a push, or shove to clean house. Your dressing room, well it's just fabulous, the IKEA units are really great. My nearest store is 2 hrs away, good news is I go right by when I visit my brother, when it was built, it was 10 mins away from where I grew up.
Wende I just love IKEA, Richard absolutely hates it. I think it’s because you have to walk all the way round in one direction and he doesn’t like being told what to do 🤣🤣 and then you have to pick all the things up yourself in the warehouse, pay for them all, and then give them all back again if they won’t fit in the car and you need them delivered 🤣🤣 I love it there!! 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Years ago I bought a huge tv cabinet on sale, I didn't know about taking it yourself. My friend lived 5 mins away so she helped. Then I had to go home, 2 hr drive, get some help with a truck, and go right back the next day to her house. I go by it and never stop in, my sister in law loved going there for lunch. Poor Richard, but he still goes, what a guy.
You’re a lot more ruthless with your plants Janette! I’m the opposite, I’ll keep the deadest looking plants but I’ll get rid of anything if I haven’t used it in 12 months!
Hello! You’re right there StoneWallFlower, my poor plants are probably thinking “hold on, we are only having a bit of a rest … ouch! You’ve pulled me out!” 🤣 🥰
Really enjoyed your video Janette. I’ve just got back from a wonderful cruise but now have Covid so feeling pretty awful. I need to declutter too so once I’m fighting fit again I will make a start. Your so right about jumpers, I shove mine in too and end up wearing the same old things. I love Bowie and TRex too! X
Oh Sue, so sorry to hear you have Covid after your cruise, same happened to us when we got back from Portugal in June, I blame it on the plane for us. I hope your cruise wasn’t ruined though? Take it easy and have lots of sleep if you can, I always think sleep is the best medicine 😊 you love Bowie and Bolan too!! Us too! Glam Rock 🤩
Let's all be clutter free in 23 what a great idea. I too have neglected my house in favour of my garden and you have inspired me. I have done all my garden jobs now until my new Lady Marmalade Rose and some other bare roots arrive and need to be sorted. That's my weekend jobs earmarked I'm sure my husband will be thrilled he despises clutter and is always on at me. xxxx❤❤❤
Oh Anna you go girl!! 🤣 I love having a clear out and we just don’t get time to do it when gardening is what we want to do instead. I’m determined to keep going now! It’s quite fun 🤩🥰 have a lovely day 😊
I just decluttered my closet, too…but only because I’ve ordered a couple of new handbags so I got rid of quite a few old ones to make room for the new ones. Lol (I see you love handbags, too!)
I do love handbags, I still have too many, I’m never going to need all those!!! But I think we are all allowed one indulgence. Richard’s is shoes … wait until I show you his collection!!!! 🤣🤣🥰
I've heard that if you haven't used something in 5 years that you should get rid of it. I keep thinking that maybe I'll use some things again, but then they just sit around gathering dust. Maybe this will be the year I'll get the clutter out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hello Sue I think if it’s been 5 years you are never going to need it again 🤣 I think you’ve got to do it quickly, the minute you start questioning or reminiscing you’ll keep it 🤣 I still have far too many bags, I’m never going to need all those. Oh well, I must try and do some more this weekend. It’s not raining this morning for once, happy weekend my friend 🥰
👋Janette, try not to beat yourself up, your house is so beautiful and is not that cluttered at all. We are all guilty of hoarding one thing or another. Personally speaking I have way too many books, so I donated them all to goodwill a few weeks ago, except for my history and titanic books(I’m obsessed). Still watching but you inspire in every thing you do,🥰. I loved seeing this, I feel the same way, 2023 is inspo to de clutter. My husband already started by getting rid of hoodies and pants he no longer wants! It feels so good doesn’t it. ❤ love your handbags🤩, I love my handbags also, I can never part with them they cost a fortune 😂
Elizabeth I am a real history buff too! My absolute favourite subject. No, it’s not that cluttered I admit. But I do have too many bags I’ve realised. I’m never going to use them all!! But mine are mostly eBay bags, I’ve never spent much money on them. We all have our favourite types of things to collect don’t we? Richard likes shoes, I’ll have to show you them all!! Have a lovely day 🥰
Great minds🤯🤣. Can’t wait for the big reveal for Richards shoes and the decluuttering of the kitchen🎉. What is it with men? My husband has over 40 pairs of never worn sneakers in his closet🤷🏻♀️, still in thier boxes. We all have our issues haven’t we😛
40 pairs!!! I think he’s beaten Richard! Rich is very ruthless when he goes through his clothes and throws them out. I think he thinks they’re going to be replaced new for old 😂
😂😂😂our better halves are sneaky little ones aren’t they😇😃. Plus he has to dress up for work during the week so when will he wear them all is anyone’s guess. Plus let’s not get into his adidas and Nike hoodie collection 😩
Hey Sissy! 🤗 My garden has definitely taken me away from doing the things I need to do indoors. I have started decluttering as well. I’ll have a few weeks of holiday time off next month so I plan to be clutter-free for 23. Wish me luck! Loved the video! 😘
Hello my lovely Nikki. My house has definitely taken a back seat to the garden, but I’m with you, let’s declutter over the winter and feel better for the start of the New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Oh thank you dear MJ, I’m so pleased I made a start although it took me far longer than I had envisaged. Lots more to do, glad you enjoyed it. Happy week my friend 🥰
So enthused ! I love declutter ing organizing and watching decluttering ! You are very organized to begin with! You’ve inspired your viewers !! And Reg is very creative with tossed jewelry!! 😊
Oh I wish I had known that before I threw my jewellery away Teresa, I could have packed it all up and sent it to him! Don’t suppose he’d like some old shoes instead? 🤣🤣🥰 I love decluttering!! I think it’s the feeling of being a bit more organised that I like.
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener you know what he’s in the process of using old shoes for projects now lol🫣🤣he’s a shoe hound ! He always is a bit more trendy than me 😉. Just fun video to watch your purses are lovely cruises always seem so fun I’ve such motion sickness been nervous to try! 🙃
Hi Janette, I'm so envious of your walk in wardrobe, watch out Adrian, we have a spare room!!!!! I have been decluttering to make room for all the Christmas decorations, so I have started!!! Your handbags are so pretty, not sure how you could part with any of them xx
Hello Debs, I highly recommend your own walk in wardrobe, I’m sure Adrian wouldn’t mind you having one too 🤣 I do love a good declutter but I realise now I do not need all those bags!! 😍
Clutter free in 23!! Great video Janette, just whats needed in my house too. I need the motivation to make space in my cluttered cupboards. Iv had the ' out of sight out of mind attitude for far too long! Have a lovely day decluttering 😊🥰
This was fun! I love the Audrey bag!😍 Great idea! I will join you. I’ve been trying to purge my home for three years now. 😳 I’ll use my yucky days. I’m fortunate enough to have some mild days in the winter. Tomorrow will be 68F. I’ll be in the garden for some of it I’ll be prepping our Thanksgiving dinner too.
Well done Janette ... it always feels better having a good clear out.... Id say if you havent used it in the last year ... chuck! ... easier said than done I know! .... have a nice day xxx
Hello my friend!!! Yes, you’re right, I don’t think we even know what we have half the time, I stuff things away and forget. But when I’ve finished my decluttering I’m going to try the “one thing in, one thing out” tip. Especially with clothes, because I just wear the same old things all the time! Have a lovely week and it’s been so good having our chats 🥰
Hello my friend . I like your tango all decor . Lucy says please don’t bother , Im sleeping lol . But anyways I need to show my wife this video . Maybe she can get some inspiration how to organize our house 😊.
Hello Max!! I need to do lots more, you’ve got to be in the mood for it though haven’t you? I have more of those metal artwork pictures, I’ll have to show you the others 😍
I like decluttering videos as I find them inspiring. Enjoyed watching you tackle your wardrobe. I see you have trouble purging purses LOL! Just like me--I can't seem to get rid of many of them even though I haven't used them in half a decade or more! And I keep buying more when I'm out thrifting. I have to get tougher with myself when it comes to purses. After all, how many can you really use? So you and I are alike in that respect Janette! Anyway, I do my decluttering in the winter when it's cold and snowy here. Best time of year to get going on organizing. One of my attics is going to be the first. And maybe my purse stash too ha-ha!
We are so alike you’re right there. I have realised since doing that video that although I don’t have a problem throwing things away, and not sentimental about stuff at all, however it has made me realise my bay problem 🤣🤣 I’m never going to use them all, I hardly go out anywhere much 🤣 so why am I keeping them all? Certainly made me think 🤔 oh well, it’s fun to chat with you manycats, always is 🥰
Hi Janette, I really enjoyed this video. I find it easier to tackle a small area at a time like you did - that way you can really clean everything properly without getting overwhelmed and losing interest halfway through. Good luck with the rest of it, although I don’t think your bungalow is nearly as cluttered as some of the other homes I have seen on RUclips 😂 x
🤣🤣🤣 is it upside down 🇺🇸 I will turn it the right way as soon as I get home 😊 it’s hard to understand the mind of a hoarder I imagine, must be tough for everyone concerned. But it’s meant you are more likely to be clutter free so at least you are free from the situation now 😊😍❤️
Caught sight of a great looking piece of art in your opposite room, of Marc Bolan. Are you a fan, or Richard, or both of you.? I’m a massive fan, which is obvious if you see my channel. I’m still very grateful for the advice you gave me on heucheras some time ago…I now have loads in my garden, and love them…Thank you. Keep posting…I always enjoy your videos.
Oh yes Joe!! You have a great eye for detail. That is Marc Bolan from the Slider album. I’ll show it properly when I do a house tour. We are HUGE fans, have every single thing he’s ever done. And we go and watch T.Rextasy whenever they’re playing nearby, have you seen them at all? But my absolute favourite all time artist ever is Bowie, who I can see from your name you’re a big fan too! We have tons in common!! 🥰 I will check out your channel when I get home from work!!
Oh Yes I'm a bit of a completist when it comes to collecting Bolan & Bowie material. It's been an obsession since I was 13.☺T.Rextasy are great. Seen them a few times in Essex...We do seem to have a lot in common, gardening,, music taste, and I also live in Essex (Loughton). Hope you find something of interest on my channel. I'm very proud of the "Everyone Says 'Hi" Bolan tribute I made some time ago, and only recently uploaded it on there...You can see a bit of my garden in it. It looks a lot better these days.☺
You’re only down the road Joe!! I come from Romford and Rich is from South Ockendon. We’ve seen T.Rextasy maybe 8 times, in Southend quite a few times, once at Basildon and in Maidstone. Danielz is amazing. Only saw Bowie once live, in Milton Keynes in the 80s but I have every single album and play them all the time. My other all time favourite is Kate Bush. I’m going to head over to your channel in a moment and I’ll get Rich to come and watch your Bolan video!! 🥰
Thanks to both of you for watching my video. Got your message, on my channel, and it was nice to hear you enjoyed it...First time I saw Bowie was in 1973 in Romford...I then went to a number of gigs from all his tours (apart from the USA ones in '74), right up to his Reality Tour in 2003. We really do have the similar taste...I love Kate Bush as well. She's amazing.👌👌
Wow you saw Bowie in ‘73!! I saw Kate Bush in 2014, one of the best nights of my life 🥰 I will be watching all your Bowie videos over next few days. So pleased I found your channel ❤️
Your channel just gets better and better, gardening, decluttering and essentialism is my things, I only have what do all the time x
Oh Tracie thank you, I’m so glad you liked today’s video. I do quite enjoy having a great clear out, does help if you’re not too sentimental about possessions I guess. Must do some more soon while I still have my momentum going 🤣🥰

I think it’s because you have to walk all the way round in one direction and he doesn’t like being told what to do 🤣🤣 and then you have to pick all the things up yourself in the warehouse, pay for them all, and then give them all back again if they won’t fit in the car and you need them delivered 🤣🤣 I love it there!! 🥰

Years ago I bought a huge tv cabinet on sale, I didn't know about taking it yourself. My friend lived 5 mins away so she helped. Then I had to go home, 2 hr drive, get some help with a truck, and go right back the next day to her house. I go by it and never stop in, my sister in law loved going there for lunch. Poor Richard, but he still goes, what a guy.
No he won’t go in any more Wende 🤣🤣🤣 but they deliver now 🎈🎈🎈

Oh that's great, guessing covid brought that on.
You’re a lot more ruthless with your plants Janette! I’m the opposite, I’ll keep the deadest looking plants but I’ll get rid of anything if I haven’t used it in 12 months!
Hello! You’re right there StoneWallFlower, my poor plants are probably thinking “hold on, we are only having a bit of a rest … ouch! You’ve pulled me out!” 🤣 🥰
Really enjoyed your video Janette. I’ve just got back from a wonderful cruise but now have Covid so feeling pretty awful. I need to declutter too so once I’m fighting fit again I will make a start. Your so right about jumpers, I shove mine in too and end up wearing the same old things. I love Bowie and TRex too! X
Oh Sue, so sorry to hear you have Covid after your cruise, same happened to us when we got back from Portugal in June, I blame it on the plane for us. I hope your cruise wasn’t ruined though? Take it easy and have lots of sleep if you can, I always think sleep is the best medicine 😊 you love Bowie and Bolan too!! Us too! Glam Rock 🤩
Let's all be clutter free in 23 what a great idea. I too have neglected my house in favour of my garden and you have inspired me. I have done all my garden jobs now until my new Lady Marmalade Rose and some other bare roots arrive and need to be sorted. That's my weekend jobs earmarked I'm sure my husband will be thrilled he despises clutter and is always on at me. xxxx❤❤❤
Oh Anna you go girl!! 🤣 I love having a clear out and we just don’t get time to do it when gardening is what we want to do instead. I’m determined to keep going now! It’s quite fun 🤩🥰 have a lovely day 😊
Enjoyed the video now I need to go declutter my rooms😀
🤩🤣 Chris I’m so pleased!! I’m inspiring everyone today 🤣 far more than when im in the garden I think 🤣🤣 have a very happy day 🥰
I just decluttered my closet, too…but only because I’ve ordered a couple of new handbags so I got rid of quite a few old ones to make room for the new ones. Lol (I see you love handbags, too!)
I do love handbags, I still have too many, I’m never going to need all those!!! But I think we are all allowed one indulgence. Richard’s is shoes … wait until I show you his collection!!!! 🤣🤣🥰
I've heard that if you haven't used something in 5 years that you should get rid of it. I keep thinking that maybe I'll use some things again, but then they just sit around gathering dust. Maybe this will be the year I'll get the clutter out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hello Sue I think if it’s been 5 years you are never going to need it again 🤣 I think you’ve got to do it quickly, the minute you start questioning or reminiscing you’ll keep it 🤣 I still have far too many bags, I’m never going to need all those. Oh well, I must try and do some more this weekend. It’s not raining this morning for once, happy weekend my friend 🥰
👋Janette, try not to beat yourself up, your house is so beautiful and is not that cluttered at all. We are all guilty of hoarding one thing or another. Personally speaking I have way too many books, so I donated them all to goodwill a few weeks ago, except for my history and titanic books(I’m obsessed). Still watching but you inspire in every thing you do,🥰. I loved seeing this, I feel the same way, 2023 is inspo to de clutter. My husband already started by getting rid of hoodies and pants he no longer wants! It feels so good doesn’t it. ❤ love your handbags🤩, I love my handbags also, I can never part with them they cost a fortune 😂
Elizabeth I am a real history buff too! My absolute favourite subject. No, it’s not that cluttered I admit. But I do have too many bags I’ve realised. I’m never going to use them all!! But mine are mostly eBay bags, I’ve never spent much money on them. We all have our favourite types of things to collect don’t we? Richard likes shoes, I’ll have to show you them all!! Have a lovely day 🥰
Great minds🤯🤣. Can’t wait for the big reveal for Richards shoes and the decluuttering of the kitchen🎉. What is it with men? My husband has over 40 pairs of never worn sneakers in his closet🤷🏻♀️, still in thier boxes. We all have our issues haven’t we😛
40 pairs!!! I think he’s beaten Richard! Rich is very ruthless when he goes through his clothes and throws them out. I think he thinks they’re going to be replaced new for old 😂
😂😂😂our better halves are sneaky little ones aren’t they😇😃. Plus he has to dress up for work during the week so when will he wear them all is anyone’s guess. Plus let’s not get into his adidas and Nike hoodie collection 😩
😂😂 Richard loves clothes. He’s by far the better dressed one out of the two of us 😊
Hey Sissy! 🤗
My garden has definitely taken me away from doing the things I need to do indoors.
I have started decluttering as well. I’ll have a few weeks of holiday time off next month so I plan to be clutter-free for 23. Wish me luck!
Loved the video! 😘
Hello my lovely Nikki. My house has definitely taken a back seat to the garden, but I’m with you, let’s declutter over the winter and feel better for the start of the New Year 🎉🎉🎉
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Yes, let’s! 😜
The best time to declutter is indeed winter time...have a wonderful week dear Janette and Richard.
Oh thank you dear MJ, I’m so pleased I made a start although it took me far longer than I had envisaged. Lots more to do, glad you enjoyed it. Happy week my friend 🥰
Loved it!
Hello Debby and thank you so much! Pouring with rain here today so might just have to do a bit more 😊🤣🥰
So enthused ! I love declutter ing organizing and watching decluttering ! You are very organized to begin with! You’ve inspired your viewers !! And Reg is very creative with tossed jewelry!! 😊
Oh I wish I had known that before I threw my jewellery away Teresa, I could have packed it all up and sent it to him! Don’t suppose he’d like some old shoes instead? 🤣🤣🥰 I love decluttering!! I think it’s the feeling of being a bit more organised that I like.
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener you know what he’s in the process of using old shoes for projects now lol🫣🤣he’s a shoe hound ! He always is a bit more trendy than me 😉. Just fun video to watch your purses are lovely cruises always seem so fun I’ve such motion sickness been nervous to try! 🙃
Oh how funny is that! You wait until you see Richard’s shoes!!! He has loads. 🤣🥰
Hi Janette, I'm so envious of your walk in wardrobe, watch out Adrian, we have a spare room!!!!! I have been decluttering to make room for all the Christmas decorations, so I have started!!! Your handbags are so pretty, not sure how you could part with any of them xx
Hello Debs, I highly recommend your own walk in wardrobe, I’m sure Adrian wouldn’t mind you having one too 🤣 I do love a good declutter but I realise now I do not need all those bags!! 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener LOL!! A walk in wardrobe may have to wait a while - we've just bought a new car!!! xx
Oh now that’s just as good 😊 xx
At 5:28 minutes I was virtually closing the cupboard and making my way to lay down in a darkened room. Cleaning is bad for you ! Stay safe 🙏
🤣🤣🤣 cleaning is better if you’re watching someone else doing it on a video 🤣 not quite so much fun when it’s you!! 🎉🎉🎉
Clutter free in 23!! Great video Janette, just whats needed in my house too. I need the motivation to make space in my cluttered cupboards. Iv had the ' out of sight out of mind attitude for far too long! Have a lovely day decluttering 😊🥰
Hey Lou!! Yes! Let’s all have a good old clear out, I love it! We will all feel lighter and organised - fabulous!! 😍
This was fun! I love the Audrey bag!😍 Great idea! I will join you. I’ve been trying to purge my home for three years now. 😳 I’ll use my yucky days. I’m fortunate enough to have some mild days in the winter. Tomorrow will be 68F. I’ll be in the garden for some of it I’ll be prepping our Thanksgiving dinner too.
Good morning Dawn 🥰 I love that bag too, but I do have too many bags. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Glad you’re joining me 🇺🇸🎈❤️
So inspirational! Bit by bit is the way to go isnt it?Thankyou Janette!I bet you are feeling free as a bird now.See you next video.x❤
Aww thank you Indy, I’m on a roll now and must keep going while I still have the motivation. I quite enjoy a good clear out 😊 have a lovely day 🥰
Hi Janette, feel free to de-clutter Nadj,s dressing room when you have finished !! Best Wishes.
🤣🤣🤣 im on my way 🏃♀️🤣🥰
Well done Janette ... it always feels better having a good clear out.... Id say if you havent used it in the last year ... chuck! ... easier said than done I know! .... have a nice day xxx
Hello my friend!!! Yes, you’re right, I don’t think we even know what we have half the time, I stuff things away and forget. But when I’ve finished my decluttering I’m going to try the “one thing in, one thing out” tip. Especially with clothes, because I just wear the same old things all the time! Have a lovely week and it’s been so good having our chats 🥰
Hello my friend . I like your tango all decor .
Lucy says please don’t bother , Im sleeping lol .
But anyways I need to show my wife this video . Maybe she can get some inspiration how to organize our house 😊.
Hello Max!! I need to do lots more, you’ve got to be in the mood for it though haven’t you? I have more of those metal artwork pictures, I’ll have to show you the others 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener this is the best time to do the declutter job , too cold to be in the garden. We always enjoy your videos . 😊
I am up for the challenge!!
Yay!! You go TB 🤣🤣🥰
I like decluttering videos as I find them inspiring. Enjoyed watching you tackle your wardrobe. I see you have trouble purging purses LOL! Just like me--I can't seem to get rid of many of them even though I haven't used them in half a decade or more! And I keep buying more when I'm out thrifting. I have to get tougher with myself when it comes to purses. After all, how many can you really use? So you and I are alike in that respect Janette! Anyway, I do my decluttering in the winter when it's cold and snowy here. Best time of year to get going on organizing. One of my attics is going to be the first. And maybe my purse stash too ha-ha!
We are so alike you’re right there. I have realised since doing that video that although I don’t have a problem throwing things away, and not sentimental about stuff at all, however it has made me realise my bay problem 🤣🤣 I’m never going to use them all, I hardly go out anywhere much 🤣 so why am I keeping them all? Certainly made me think 🤔 oh well, it’s fun to chat with you manycats, always is 🥰
Hallo friend thanks for sharing, new friend
Hello there and thank you for watching … so lovely to have a new gardening friend 🥰 have a wonderful week.
Well done maybe I should have a go
Yay Iris!!!! If in doubt, chuck it out 🤣🤣
If u r free at the weekend perhaps u can declutter my rooms,...Jokes apart, thank you for reminder and distraction from the gardening chores.
Hello s jay, I’m on my way!! Actually I think I would quite enjoy throwing away and organising other people’s stuff. Have a fabulous day 🥰
Good on you
Kith said you can come and do ours if you like 😂😂❤
Haha yes I will be round later today with my roll of bin bags 🤣
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener 😂😂😂
Hi Janette, I really enjoyed this video. I find it easier to tackle a small area at a time like you did - that way you can really clean everything properly without getting overwhelmed and losing interest halfway through. Good luck with the rest of it, although I don’t think your bungalow is nearly as cluttered as some of the other homes I have seen on RUclips 😂 x
Hello GF and thank you for watching. I did quite enjoy myself I have to say, still need to do lots more. But I do like having a good clear out!! 🥰
Let's do a boot sale !
Too cold 🥶 I haven’t been to a boot sale all this year I don’t think … love them though 🥰
My late mom was a hoarder, I'm just the opposite my motto is when in doubt throw it out. P.S. your American flag is upside down.
🤣🤣🤣 is it upside down 🇺🇸 I will turn it the right way as soon as I get home 😊 it’s hard to understand the mind of a hoarder I imagine, must be tough for everyone concerned. But it’s meant you are more likely to be clutter free so at least you are free from the situation now 😊😍❤️
Caught sight of a great looking piece of art in your opposite room, of Marc Bolan. Are you a fan, or Richard, or both of you.? I’m a massive fan, which is obvious if you see my channel.
I’m still very grateful for the advice you gave me on heucheras some time ago…I now have loads in my garden, and love them…Thank you.
Keep posting…I always enjoy your videos.
Oh yes Joe!! You have a great eye for detail. That is Marc Bolan from the Slider album. I’ll show it properly when I do a house tour. We are HUGE fans, have every single thing he’s ever done. And we go and watch T.Rextasy whenever they’re playing nearby, have you seen them at all? But my absolute favourite all time artist ever is Bowie, who I can see from your name you’re a big fan too! We have tons in common!! 🥰 I will check out your channel when I get home from work!!
Oh Yes I'm a bit of a completist when it comes to collecting Bolan & Bowie material. It's been an obsession since I was 13.☺T.Rextasy are great. Seen them a few times in Essex...We do seem to have a lot in common, gardening,, music taste, and I also live in Essex (Loughton). Hope you find something of interest on my channel. I'm very proud of the "Everyone Says 'Hi" Bolan tribute I made some time ago, and only recently uploaded it on there...You can see a bit of my garden in it. It looks a lot better these days.☺
You’re only down the road Joe!! I come from Romford and Rich is from South Ockendon. We’ve seen T.Rextasy maybe 8 times, in Southend quite a few times, once at Basildon and in Maidstone. Danielz is amazing. Only saw Bowie once live, in Milton Keynes in the 80s but I have every single album and play them all the time. My other all time favourite is Kate Bush. I’m going to head over to your channel in a moment and I’ll get Rich to come and watch your Bolan video!! 🥰
Thanks to both of you for watching my video. Got your message, on my channel, and it was nice to hear you enjoyed it...First time I saw Bowie was in 1973 in Romford...I then went to a number of gigs from all his tours (apart from the USA ones in '74), right up to his Reality Tour in 2003. We really do have the similar taste...I love Kate Bush as well. She's amazing.👌👌
Wow you saw Bowie in ‘73!! I saw Kate Bush in 2014, one of the best nights of my life 🥰 I will be watching all your Bowie videos over next few days. So pleased I found your channel ❤️
Just get rid of it all and start again 😂
🤣🤣 James you are the best at making me laugh 🤣🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener all good then 😅😘
Oh yes!! 😊
