The Gallery - One Word

The theme at The Gallery this week is one word. It seems like a gift, but it's tricky. Take a look at this and tell me what word comes to mind...

Stuff? Clutter? Rubbish? Junk? Kids? Life laundry? (that's two!) Memories? (please I am trying to be unsentimental about this stuff).

Today we had a clearout. Mr A and I attacked the house and took our clutter to the charity shop before we drowned in stuff. It feels good. The stuff that was holding us back is gone. Clearout. I like that word a lot.

Find some more great words in pictures at The Gallery this week.

I must confess I did find some rather fab stuff in cancer research. But for me not the kids.

Seriously, I just threatened them with cleaning it myself via trash bag. They are 14 and 9 for goodness sakes! Sigh.

Mother of Innovation and Nic - thanks :)
Carrie - ha ha. I haven't even started in Miss L's room yet.
Christine - Mr A had to hold my hand, although by the end it was me telling him to stop deliberating over a bag of wooden bricks.

NOthing feels better than a clear space that had been chaotic clutter. Well maybe a few things, but....:) x

At 11 March 2011 at 08:38 , Catching the Magic said...: Sigh! That clean space looks very appealing! Good on you! I've signed up our car for the school car boot sale next month and am preparing for a declutter! I love it when we go on holiday with only a few simple toys - I spend much less time cleaning, sorting, organizing and much, much more time creatively playing and enjoying time with my children.
