THIS COMPETITION HAS CLOSED. THE WINNER IS TRACEY PEACH FROM CAMBRIDGESHIRE. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED AND YOUR GREAT DECLUTTERING TIPS!
Earlier this month I told you all about HomeSense opening their fab new branch in Taplow. Well to celebrate, I have teamed up with HomeSense to offer you lucky readers the chance to win a £100 HomeSense gift card! (UK residents only)
If you’re unaware of who HomeSense are, where have you been?! 😉 They are the sister brand of TK Maxx, selling the most coolest, quirkiest homewares and gifts. They also sell practical stuff too. On the HomeSense launch day I got these drawer organisers and glass jars, with the aim to do a spot of decluttering.
I was fed up of packets of pasta cluttering up my kitchen cupboard, the packets never resealed properly and I was always finding rogue pastas at the back. And as for my kitchen drawers, I couldn’t even see what was in there!
BEFORE:
So I cleared a shelf on my bookshelf to make a display of pasta jars, and sorted out that kitchen drawer!
AFTER:
It’s so much easier to find things now, it makes me so happy!
So, now for the bit you’ve been waiting for – how do you enter the competition? Well, I want you to tell me your best decluttering tip! Think of one, and click here to enter via Rafflecopter:
You have until close of play Friday 20th November to enter. Good luck!

Sort out your wardrobe twice a year, spring and autumn, and if you haven’t worn something in the last six months, then you are very unlikely to wear it next year, so get rid of it.

I am very ruthless when it comes to decluttering. I do it little and often. Once I make a decision it goes straight out. I never store anything in the loft. If it needs to go in the loft then you obviously don’t need it.
