Poll: What do you do with your stuff when you get the urge to declutter?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

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.

This is a two-day class.
Creating mosaics is a two-step process.

Day One:
The first day, we are creating a design.
Learn about the different cements, shards, and found objects that can be used in mosaic.
Then complete a design which will be 20 cm square.
It can be used as a wall hanging, kitchen trivet, or garden decoration.
Practice how to use the cutters, and to apply the cement. The adhesive used on the first day takes 24 hours to dry. If the piece isn’t complete in the time allotted, more time can be scheduled.

Day Two:
Second day, we are grouting our finished piece.
The adhesive needs to set completely before the piece can be grouted.
Overnight is usually sufficient, that’s why 2 days are scheduled

Grouting: We will learn all about different kinds of grout, and how to make different colours, and use the tools that are needed to give your mosaic a polished look.

Start time for each day is 9:30 am.
Bring something for your lunch, tea and coffee will be provided.
Day One finishes around 2 or 3 pm, depending on the completion of your piece.
Day two takes about 2 hours.

My workshop is not large, so I am offering classes for only two to three women at a time,
which gives the student a very personalised learning experience.

All materials will be supplied.

3 dates are happening for this:
* October 13-14th, October 23rd-24th, December 1st-2nd
