To coin a phrase, its not the size that counts its how you use it! I've been living in quite a spacious home (albeit a flat) but as the space is quite difficult to use it actually feels small. I think we could all live in more 'cosy accomodation' and live with things that are precious and necessary. Wise words Anna-Lisa. To coin a phrase, its not the size that counts its how you use it!

Its amazing that I have got used to living in such a small space, but the place has really grown on me and I am very settled here now. If we ever feel to claustophobic, I have the beach 5 minutes away so can go a nice walk. Hi Mrs Green and Alyson, thank you for your lovely comments.

I will bear in mind the comment re gifts and plan to rethink my strategy. This post has covered many important issues, I do hope the Prime minister takes a peep at Greengirls global from time to time. Perhaps I should drop him a line, ( using recycled paper and envilopes of course ) Keep up the good work. Another inspiring post from Anna Lisa, well done.

You speak so many truths. I do LOVE my space, it has to be said, but I am planning a big declutter next month and I'm really looking forward to it. I feel that I spend a lot of my life moving things from one area to another and just keeping things tidy and clean. really, I'd like to free up that time for something more meaningful. it sounds like you have done brilliantly and are enjoying your smaller, more meaningful life. It's a wonderful and inspiring post - thank you! I will pretend you are sitting on a chair next to me when I start my declutter and maybe I'll be able to let more things go in that way!
