Need some fresh ideas for clearing out clutter?
Let me share a couple that might just make the process a bit more fun!
Ever heard of the 3-box exercise? It's a super easy way to sort through your stuff. Get three boxes and label them: keep, donate, and trash. Then, go through your clothes and toss each item into the appropriate box. If you're unsure about something, ask yourself if you've worn it in the last six months. If not, it might be time to let it go! This trick works wonders not just for clothes, but also for decluttering your garage.
Another option? Consider hiring a skip bin. Having a big bin right in front of you makes it so much easier to toss things out. No more putting off the decluttering - just toss it in and watch your space open up!
Hope these tips help make your decluttering journey a breeze!

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
