Yesterday's things to go are these two craft knives.
At one point in my life I would have used them for cutting card or vinyl flooring — they're useful for all sorts, as you know. But my life isn't really like that now. They'll go in the DIY box I'm making to freegle.
Today's thing's to go are examples of the things we hoard that are almost nothing, but aggregate to fill up the boxes we call our homes. A length of string and the stopper from a long ago defunct hot water bottle — you know, "just in case".
I find it is actually worth keeping such things for a little while, because every now and then they do come in handy, and if you operate a minimalist system then it's almost certain over time you will end up purchasing again some things you move on — not least because we travel through life in spirals, not in a straight line. But periodically it's important to do a cull or, before you know it, there you are in your own personal mini landfill site.
