Reminder for me....
Giving unwanted things to others will not only mean you're doing your bit for charity or get you in others' good books, it will rid you of junk you wouldn't otherwise part with. Charity shops are always looking for clothes, gifts and unwanted items. And if you give to friends and family you can always ask for it back!
So do you really need 2 copies of the same book, that old tea-set and all those socks that don't match? Go through everything with a fine tooth-comb and be ruthless! Remember that all that stuff you don't use is only taking up valuable space.

Clean out your cupboards
Don't hoard old clothes. If you only have a teeny wardrobe, change your summer and winter clothes over twice a year. Anything that's old, bobbly, or beyond repair goes in the bin! And there's no point in keeping things that are too small or cheap tops that might have been fashionable once but were only ever going to last you six months.
Recycle
It's not only good for the environment: you'll also feel less guilty about throwing things out if they're going to be re-used - even on a small scale. T-shirts with holes in them make perfect cloths and dusters, old party dresses can be used for fancy dress for the kids, and boxes can be used for storage.
