We just decluttered our house to move 200 miles away, everything had to fit in 1 van as that is all we could afford. Normally we have a 6 month emergency fund but after 6 months of furlough and then hubby loosing his job we had used up our emergency fund. The stuff I sold paid for our move, the van, movers the other side, and kept us fed and clothed (I had to buy an entire new wardrobe due to weight loss). I made the most money selling my craft/art supplies, I gave a lot away too. I met so many amazing people, some I’m still friends with & changed my life. Now my new art space is perfect, I love it for the first time in years!

Quite keen on hiring Dilly to come round and sort out my house

All makes so much sense! Thanks a lot, like the others say very inspiring I hope I can take some small steps myself now.

Great episode and super insightful! Feeling very inspired to sort my life out!

Really enjoyed listening to this thank you

Slow cookers are cheaper to run than the oven!!!!

New sub, nice voice and message thank you

It’s super coolio to collect toys. It’s an art form mannnn. Don’t stop. Get some funky display cabinets and show them all off. More shelfs dude 😂😂🙏🏾

....Poo, just built a bedroom office! The sentiment still stands though, if you can get out of the bedroom into an office that's solid advice. Defeats the sentences your friends might say 'Your lucky you get to work in your PJs in bed / You're never working / You don't even have a job / etc etc etc', if you're out at the office you're now all of a sudden working and less contactable/able to be distracted! Also, bonus points for Hawthorne effect, if people can see you slacking off, you're less likely to do it!

Can you partition it off with a curtain or room divider screen?

@@Lizpenningtonit’s a solid idea. Definitely making some sort of physical distinction between where you sleep and where you work really helps I find. You’re body can just go to sleep relax mode in bed instead of some form of work mode!

There’s no links to her socials? Or website

So tempted to pay someone to help me be less attached to all my stuff ... Too many clothes 😑

And the next step is that money was earned by giving up some of your time and your life only has so much time in it. So you've wasted a good part of your life, to buy things you aren't using but just storing for someone else to have to throw out when you die. Think about that for a while.

The way a female speaker talks about her aging mother is disrespectful! She omitted all positive aspects of living with her parent and emphasized a need for tolerance for finances. She is convincing her husband to “tolerate” her mother for an extra 10 years, just so they can buy a house sooner! Why won't you just buy a house by selling your skills/talent and take care of your aging parent when the time comes because you love her! And, for goodness sake stop disrespecting your mother in public! Being used for financial benefits by children is the worst nightmare of an aging adult!

I would argue her mother is selfish and disrespectful to her daughter by being a hoarder. My mum was the same, alienated her children by being incredibly selfish and stubborn with her hoarding

@@simonworsley8631 I do understand that, but it's her home... if she wants to hord in her home, surely shes entitled to that. Dilly and her partner do live in her mum's home after all.

@@simonworsley8631 the point is that they are trying to change the mother so they can use her home! See, if she offers to declutter her parent's home to prevent an injury that's a different story! She is taking advantage of her aging parent and not hiding it! By any standards, speaking about your parent that way in public is disrespectful! Unless your parent is abusive, we should kiss the ground that our parents walked! And, one day, she will feel that way! God bless our wisdom to realize it sooner rather than later!

@@oxanadanysheva8958 we will have to agree to disagree. I absolutely do not worship my parents in any way whatsoever. They brought me up and their work is done. Mine were very controlling and inflicted religion on me without a choice. In some ways, I feel like my life began when I was 18 and went away to university. Even after that, my mum tries to control what all three of her children did with their relationships. Thankfully I now have more than enough money not to rely on inheritance and I don’t need to be bothered by what they think. Having said that, when my mum needs care as she soon will, I will likely pick up some of the tab for it as no one else will be able to
