Exasperation

Rather gradually over recent months it dawned on me that I was forever moving items in the study to reach other items, and needing to thread my way through stuff on the floor. SMBD (something must be done), skip duly ordered and serious decluttering commenced. Then the discoveries, confidential papers stretching back over a couple of decades - led to a few hours using the shredder - and a sense of satisfaction. Then I started on the garage.

Of course the remedy is prevention - more self discipline - throw out early rather than settle into the mindset - that it might come in useful one day.
