The Upside to Down-sizing
Embrace the Freedom! ✨🏠
Ever dreamt of trading in your big house for a simpler, stress-free life filled with travel, friends, and freedom? You’re not alone! Many over 55 are considering downsizing, and it's easy to see why.
👵👴 Why Downsizing?
Once the kids have flown the nest, the appeal of a smaller, more manageable home becomes crystal clear.
💰 Financial Benefits
There are some sweet financial perks too! For those over 65, selling your home and downsizing don’t forget to factor in selling and buying costs and have a chat with your financial advisor about how this could impact your pension.
🌟 Positive Mindset
Downsizing is all about a positive mindset and focusing on what you truly need versus what you want. It's like saving for your first home all over again, but this time with a twist.
📦 Declutter and Organise
Decluttering is key! Go through your stuff room by room and decide what to keep, discard, donate, or sell. You'll be amazed at how liberating it feels to let go of the excess.
🏡 Maximise Your Space
With less space, it’s crucial to make every inch count. Measure your furniture to ensure it fits and consider using one statement piece per room. Smart storage solutions are your best friend – think under-bed storage, wall-mounted TVs, and multi-purpose furnishings.
Once you’ve settled into your cosy new space, you’ll love the newfound simplicity and joy that comes with downsizing. Here’s to new adventures and a hassle-free future! 🌈✨

Possessions sold as one lot
Morning everyone 😊
I am wanting to sell our mother's possessions as one lot and not individually; ive heard there are people who do this. .
Does anyone know of someone or where I might start?
Shame on You!
This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
