Why don't you, for a change...

...give away the stuff you have not used in the last two years? I mean seriously everything - from bedding to shoes and cooking pans to halfused shampoo bottles in your bathroom, tablecloth, stored pullovers and old post packages?

...finish what you have? Before you next time buy something for your bathroom, you use everything you have stored as a hamster - but everything, every little shampoo, soap and bodylotions and shower gel? Not to forget the collection of hotel samples!!!

...make a raid in your kitchen cupboards? Do not go to the supermarked, but make meals in using only ingredients you have at home? Allowed to buy are fresh vegetables/fruit and bread.

...make a swap party with you friends - or a market? Organise it with all the things which are still good or you do not want to give away for nothing, but do not really want to earn serious money with it? Invite all your contacts and tell them to bring a friend - new aquaintances come for free!

...edit your addressbook, email contacts and telephonebook on your telephone? Store them in a little USB stick, just in case, but have the essentiels at hand without scrolling 150 names for the letter "M".....

....take the pictures down and have bare walls for a while? It trains the eyes and makes you aware once again of your surroundings. Have you noticed the light on the floor in your living room?

.... make a habit of changing the decoration of your home with the seasons? Easiest done with flowers of the market and the odd lovely cashmere shawl on your bed from october onwards. Or, as it is spring now,  out with the azaleas, in with the tulips and out with the warm duvets ( ok, not yet!) and in with the beautiful wool blanket....

.... just have fun???
