Aha moment! Thinking about the large and small slow cookers I own and have decided to let go of the big one now that a new oven is about to be installed. Will keep the small one for soup and hot cider throughout autumn and winter. If it isn't put to good use, it will go, too.

Dear Diane, I'm a healthy, active 79 year old. Of necessity, last year my 85 year old husband (less healthy) and I downsized into a small apartment. I have given, thrown, etc., so much, but still have books, craft supplies, Christmas, and boxes of un-named "stuff" in a small storage unit. I'm so looking forward to your journey over the next months to see how you let go of the things to which you are very attached and yet will not have space for. Also, your talk today about building friendships rather than holding on to stuff was very helpful for me. Thank you so much.

When cleaning out my Dads apartment after he passed, I told my sister that I was going to donate his bedding and towels to the vets. She gave me a weird look. So bagged them up and drove them to the local veterinary hospital. Getting back into the car she thought I was giving them to the Veterans and she couldn’t figure out why the Veterans would want our dad’s old sheets and towels! It was hysterical!

Mine passed away 15 years ago and we came across Izal toilet roll, and a tin of pears my mum had kept because my dad liked them.. he died in 1967!

It’s great to see that at the end of the day it just turns into clutter and I can save my money for experiences. My goal has been to work hard to accumulate rooms full Christmas decor, 5 sheet sets for each bed etc. this is refreshing to see I can keep it simple.

It's interesting how our life journey sends us down unexpected paths isn't it? We lost our home to fire and downsized in the last two years from 2300 sq ft to 1100 sq ft and realized the things we have kept all have memories attached to them (function too, yeah!) I found it especially helpful to ask myself "what do I want the space that I will grow old(er) in to look like? What things are important to me?" (I'm 63, husband is 71) Our new home is filled with useful, memory rich things that we see and handle daily, but only to the extent that it fits comfortably in the new space which I designed to allow us to age safely. Thank you for the inspiration you give to so many and prayers for you as you walk into this new season of life.

I do that with my plates. But I also rotate them, for them to wear out the same 😅. So the colours and so on keep similar. Yesterday, I decluttered a very special memory, my ballet slippers. I used to learn how to dance. Spanish dancing which also included ballet lessons. I even went to have the official exams in The Royal Conservatory of Madrid, I stopped when I was 21. Now I'm nearly 59 and have kept my last ballet slippers, flamenco shoes, castanets and so on and I've got rid of nearly everything as I'm finding new homes yet for a few of the things. My husband is in complete disbelief. I'm so proud of myself. My decluttering muscle is really strong. Take care xxx

Mom passed 3 months ago and the legalities regarding her house are settled and the house is now transferred. She was just over 100 and hadn't decluttered and was feisty if I tried to encourage it. At her age, so few people remained and I think everything created a safe nest for her. However, I have layers and layers of someone's life to go through. With her so old, I'm not young any more either so have my down declutter to do. When I found your channel I thought how wonderful to have a companion on this journey and have subscribed. God bless.

Good for you decluttering part of a “set.” When we downsized I had an extra set of dishes I loved that had service for 10. I hated to part with it but knew I would only use it for four people as we no longer had room to have ten people to an indoor meal. My friend who was helping me pack up suggested I only keep a set of four and give away the rest. Problem solved! I still use these when there are four of us. It seems wrong to split up things that go together, but it’s whatever works best for you. Win win!

I sometimes catch myself thinking that whole sets should be preserved but when I go to thrift stores a lot of whole sets do not get sold because very few people need so many dishes any more. Often collectors are only looking for a few pieces to round out a set they already have and ordinary folk might just want a few pieces for some variety in their dish ware, like a teacup or a large serving bowl for example. So don’t be afraid to keep only want you really love or will genuinely use!

Oh this is so perfect. I need to go through my china also. I’m 56 and getting to the sentiment items now also. Stuff really does just dang you down Decluttering makes me feel so good ! What a great idea to put the four pieces together. I always have to pull everything out. I’m going to use this idea. Thanks for this great idea. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Thanks Diane! I am just going to declutter one kitchen drawer today. I counted 5 peelers this morning. Time to peel back the clutter😂

Brilliant idea to put the place settings together instead of taking everything out when you need them. Love the crystal glasses, definitely a keeper . Decluttered 2 tops I ordered online this summer, I tried wearing them several times, I wanted to like them but they just weren't "me". I feel annoyed with myself as I am trying to be more discerning in what I buy but obviously it is a work in progress. When I look in my closet and see something that I bought that didn't work out it seems as if it's mocking me and a reminder of my poor judgment so I need to let it go and let go of the guilt for wasting money on something I will never wear.

A great video, Diane. Im glad you feel able to talk about losing your mum - it's good to talk. Hugs to you. When our kids come over, there are 14 of us (they all have partners and now children). I regularly buy extra plates and then put them away somewhere 'safe'. One day, i will find where I've stashed them all! I long to be organised like you. One day, i will get there.

I had the opposite reaction when my mother died. I held on to a lot of her belongings. It was like I having them around me made me feel closer to her or something. I'm in the process of letting go of some of them, and I find the ones that mean the most are the everyday items like your mum's duster. I have some of her silverware and some water glasses and I love it every time I use them. Anyway, your perspective on your mum's life of giving, helping people, and her friends is helpful to me. My mother was the same. Thanks as always for the inspiration. These early days of grief are really hard. Those emotions come up so suddenly sometimes ❤

Thank you for walking us through your thought process with your china. I just did this and realized I was keeping a few things that belonged to my grandma that I don’t even remember her ever using. They are valuable but I rarely use them myself! I’m letting them go knowing someone is going to have a thrill finding them in the charity shop. ❤

I’m working on my garage, which is the main entrance hubbie and I use. I have gathered up old chemicals that can’t safely be thrown away in anticipation of the next Fall Haul, when they can be dropped off in my town

Just catching up on videos Ive missed during a very busy two weeks. Here in the states we guve bedding and towels that are no longer useable to a veterinary hospital where they can be used one more time. Sending all good wishes as you continue to work through your grief.♥️

As a daughter myself, I always tell my kids that my stuff isn’t their stuff, and to have no guilt or regrets about things of mine that they don’t want to keep when the time comes. Our collections and cherished items are personal to us and obviously don’t have the same sentimental value to our children. When my dad died I kept a couple of his pens (he liked a nice pen!) and his cardigan that still smelled of him. Very little else. My did lives in my heart not on my mantlepiece. Xx

I decluttered many things when my husband passed away four years ago and I moved to a smaller condo. I only moved things that I really needed or loved. I haven't missed a thing. Prayers for a good week for you and thanks again for being a bright spot in my day 😊.

I injured my shoulder yesterday cleaning out in the barn. Looking for easy sit down one handed decluttering ideas. I think maybe our desk.

Thank you for sharing your true emotions with us. You are so very generous with your positive energy. I've been lagging in going through my past family members to declutter they're home. I'm ready to no longer carry the burden of maintaining that property, and so I feel driven to go at it deeper now

I actually paused the video, so I could do some decluttering and then come back and watch the rest of your video as a reward. So good to have virtual company in here 🥰🥰

I have quite a few lovely serving pieces that I never use but love. I think I will need to let them go!
