I Decluttered Our Garage | Clean & Organise with me
It was time to reorganise and declutter our garage after 1,5 years living in this new house. Sometimes a declutter is not a big purge, but rather a consolidation of things.

    Great video! My problem is synchronizing, my head doesn't really get round how to set it from one cloud to another, lets say Google photos to One drive. We've got a Microsoft subscription, also because normally photos come from my phone and some are in the phone and others are in Photos. So I cant find some afterwards. I tend to use the Trial and Error Method 😂. I think I'm starting to get to get the gist 😅

    I highley can recommend cleaning the bathtub with a shampoo and a cheap and smooth non--scrub-sponge! A dandruff shampoo like "head and shoulders" will do a very good job (or anyone else) You can do it after you took a bath and still standing in your bathtub. it is very easy and you will save lots of scrub work. Even for a reset scrub the shampoing method works very well. And by the way: there is NOT MUCH shampoo needed for it. Loveley regards from Vienna/Austriastanding

    Nice tips! I have a challenge with inherited albums from my Dad. I sent a whole load away to be digitised, threw away a heap of random scenary pics that weren't relevant to me, but still have about 15 albums of my photos and families after culling. Not sure what to do with them and would like the cupboard they are in back! Any other ideas?

      @@jemcapon I found with photo albums that I did them in batches and started with the 'easier' ones to scan and then toss/recycle. I had 10+ early on and just sat down about once every few weeks and scanned one at a time. It takes time, but it's also a nice way to see photos of you/your loved ones and share them digitally. My dad was so excited when I sent him digital photos of lots of things from my childhood (he's not very tech savvy). I still kept a few printed photos, but only a few. I also have a digital photo frame in my kitchen that rotates a bunch of my favourite photos digitally and I look at them and smile almost every day. I guess the final thing is, if it's not your memories but other people's, you have no obligation to hold onto them if they don't give you joy.

    I repurposed two sleeves with two 1'5/2 litres bottles to make inserts for boots and keep them up straight. I suppose you could do the same with trousers legs. Get the empty plastic bottles put each one into each of the legs tie or sew the top and the bottom as if they were sweets and cut or tuck in the material that sticks out for it not to be bulky. Then you stick each one (with the slimmest part downwards) into each high boot and that way they stay straight 😅😂. Or you could fill them with old socks, fabric or any other filling and put them on front of the bottoms of the doors to prevent draughts and cold coming in. Hope it helps xxx
