Memories

Memories are a huge part of our lives. Where would be without them?  We have the memories in our brains, but we also have physical items; drawings from children, postcards, cards, programmes, tickets, orders of service from weddings, things from university, school, I could go on … because almost everything that we own is a memory of some sort. Memories turn up in everyone’s homes when I am decluttering and organising with clients.   And they are often not all together and...

Senior Survey 2021 - results are in

Our Senior Survey 2021 has produced some thought-provoking results; thank you so much to everyone who took part.  The aim of the survey was to find out what it means to be retired in 2021 and we have had some fantastic insights.  Almost 200 people filled in the survey which we are very pleased about, with a healthy 82% filling it in for themselves and a great number embracing online socialising during the pandemic. We read all of the comments made by responders with interest too; more ...

One man's clutter is another's treasure

A recent discussion on Facebook got me thinking.  It wasn’t a highbrow discussion, but one about ‘sorting’.  One of my singing friends had used a blustery and rainy afternoon to declutter a cupboard in her house.  Perfect use of time to my mind.  The one thing she mentioned was this yellow safety helmet.  It was this that started the bulk of the discussion....

Happy Birthday to us!

Running a business is a bit like having a baby - there is a gestation period, followed by sleepless nights and uncertain cash flow!   But having a business can bring you joy just like having a baby, or in this case, a teenager! We celebrated this year at breakfast with 30 other dynamic businesses who all got to taste the lovely biscuits made for us by the Willow Bough Tea Rooms. We're pleased to have been helping homes and businesses throughout SW London and the UK for this long a...

Accessibility

Being disabled doesn’t mean you have less stuff to do, but it does sometimes mean you have less energy to do it, (as it often does to those of us who aren't disabled too).   If there's something you're not getting done because it's not very accessible, we can help.  We recently got all these necklaces mended for one of our clients because otherwise it just wasn’t getting done!  If there’s something you’re not getting done – let us know.  We can help.  #a11y #or...

How to store your cables

Come on, confession time: hands up if you have a tangled pile of wires somewhere in your home. Perhaps in several places? When you need a new wire, do you go and look for the old wire, or do you buy a new one but keep the old ones anyway, just in case? Well, you are not alone! I have rarely helped someone move home who does not have one or more of these tangled piles in their home. So, what to do about it? You probably need a spare hour; that’s right, only one hour.&nb...
