Today I gained about six square metres of floor space by removing boxes.
The boxes were from previously acquired electrical goods and tools. Most of the boxes had been there for at least two years!
I kept the boxes as the warranty or guarantee was for two, five, or ten years – depending on the ‘stuff’.
The instructions and warranty were filed, non-recycleable packaging put in the bin, and the cardboard flattened to go in the garden ready to put under the mulch (hay).
Yay, week three of The De-clutter ’52 Things in 52 weeks’ Challenge accomplished.
