Our lease is up in 7 months and I really don't want to stay in this house anymore..2.5 years is enough...they have heating and cooling in 1 room so it hot in summer (also has a flat roof) and cold in winter...our daughter who lives with us plans on having a baby this year (early next year) and this house isn't good for that...and no matter what we do this house has never felt like a home....so we want to find somewhere else to live....so I have decided today to start decluttering...I know most people say but you have 7 months...but we have the house, 2 small sheds out back. the garage, 2 outside rooms and a storage unit....I know we can pare down some...a lot of it is hubbys tools, our daughters jewellry business stuff and their sewing stuff as wwell as baby stuff (but that will be in its own room when we move)...so have a lot to do and it gives me plenty of time to go through things and throw away/donate/pack....so when it is time to move everything will be done...will also be trying to work on the yard...and closer to the time obviously deep cleaning the house....so I am excited to be doing this....I am a minimalist who lives with people who love their projects..also stretches out payments for things like rubbish removal (we fill our bins each week with rubbish/recycling/green so that helps out) but will need it for the bigger things that they no longer use or want to keep.

Other than that we have now hit autumn and the weather here has been so  weird this last 12 months...so we will see what it is like but the uv reading here everyday is extreme and we can feel the difference...but I think the weather world wide has been a bit bipolar!
