| Christmas themed glass bottle stopper | Buy Nothing Community | Christmas themed gift. We hosted last Christmas and used little of our Christmas themed serving dishes etc. I got rid of most of them in January. It was an easy declutter. Things designed to be used once a year really don’t need to be in our home, particularly when they are duplicates. We have large serving platters and bowls that are great at ANY time of year. |

I was on a roll this week. As I tidied away household items, I evaluated them. The most useful question this week was "Do we use this?" If the answer was no, then it was an easy decision to get rid of the item.
It was also the annual destash day at Knitting Guild. I bought nothing. I deliberately took no money and I really wasn't interested in bringing yarn home and trust me, there was some really great yarn there at very good prices.
I wasn't as successful at resisting the siren call of opshop shoes and clothes but when I find black trousers that fit, new with tags, for $4.50, I am only human.
I'm away for work a lot in the next two weeks, so there will be a slow down.
