Today I helped Ms D with a surprisingly demanding decluttering mission. The job was to clear out a few bookcases packed full of years' worth of paperwork and written work, then carry it all down two flights of stairs to the bins.

There were plenty of trips up and down the stairs, and by the end I felt like I'd earned my cardio for the week (and possibly next week's too).

The good news is that 2 bookcases are now empty, the paperwork has been responsibly disposed of, and Ms D has a lot more space to enjoy. However the task also required the disposal of two more smaller shelves of paper work, so we’ll return to complete the task as I ran out of time today!
