Life gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.

Sometimes, that stuff is cozy and familiar. But other times, after a long day, you walk through the door, look around, and think: “Okay. Something’s got to go.”
And when that urge to declutter hits, the question is—where does it all go? We're not talking about broken bits and pieces, but those perfectly good things that simply no longer fit your life or your space.
In her piece When decluttering can’t be avoided much longer, Joanna Davis shares the everyday items she's finally ready to part with—and it might just inspire your own clear-out mission.
We want to know:
🧹 How often do you get the urge to declutter?
🎯 Are there certain things you’ve got your eye on to donate or rehome?
💛 Do you have any favourite charities, op-shops, or community organisations you support with your preloved items?
Let’s swap stories, share ideas, and help great stuff find a second life—outside our closets and shelves.

The good news is, the Covid vaccine can help protect you from serious illness. It’s free, and recommended for you and many others as long as you haven’t had the vaccine, or Covid, in the last 6 months.

My name is Prabha Ravi, and I’m standing as an independent candidate for Mayor of Hutt City.
For nearly 30 years, I’ve proudly called this city my home. I’ve raised my family here, built a business from the ground up, and devoted my life to serving our diverse communities—work that was honoured with a Queen’s Service Medal. Now, I’m stepping forward to offer the kind of leadership our city needs—leadership that listens, respects your money, and delivers real results.
I bring over 20 years of governance experience across health, education, business, and the arts, and I believe it’s time to move beyond politics as usual. We need strong, inclusive, financially responsible leadership that puts people and communities at the heart of every decision.
