How do you say thanks?

Today’s Thanksgiving in the US and folks are sharing their gratitude and thanks. For some, today is the day in the year to reflect on what they have. Others do it more often or regularly. Do you know what you are grateful for? Do you keep a gratitude journal?

Find your cleaning angel and control the dirt devil in your home

National Organising Week (NOW) between 7^th-13^th November 2016 is designed to celebrate the positive impact of decluttering & organising your home.

The Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers (APDO) is running a 3^rd annual National Organising Week (NOW) asking: Why delay letting go of those possessions which are cluttering your home and impacting on your precious living space? Declutter NOW.

So from 7^th-13^th November, APDO is launching a mission to encourage UK households to tackle those niggling tasks. We at Organised Life and Mind decided to take it further and also move NOW to this region!

The results are in

October was the second time that I’ve entered a “no spending month” in 2017. Knowing what would await me, I thought I was much better prepared. In a way, that’s also true. But this time, there were also some new developments which left me grateful and satisfied!
