Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
@Shaz51, yeah the "keeping" is always the hard part. 🙂
I find that the clutter that builds up is usually the stuff that doesn't have a definite "right place", or the place it should be stored in is inconvenient. We don't have a proper home office area, for example, so an awful lot of our dining table clutter is paperwork and associated items.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Managed to fix a leaking toilet today after more than 12 months on the to do list.
Could not find the replacement seal required to do the job initially. Was actually told such a part was not available.
Well after purchasing a new cistern and getting the change over half done had to go for a new flexible water supply hose.
Well there right beside the flexible hoses were the replacement seal.
$2 ...job done. After already spending over$100...
That will do for now.
Probably should install the new cistern now I have it but... back in the too hard basket now the leak is fixed.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
I hope the Duct tape works too @Shaz51 Plumbing leaks drive me nuts.
My shower is dripping again (won't shut off) - after being supposedly fixed by a plumber, at least 5 times (5 call-outs).
