“I enjoyed your workshop [Fun Ways to Organise Your Home] at Civic Centre Library recently. The work book was one of the most useful I have taken away from a seminar and one I will keep. Having pictures of actual storage products with information on where to buy them, with prices, was inspirational.
… Wardrobe and linen cupboards I find easy to cull and keep neat but the kitchen was too hard for too long. It’s amazing how inexpensive storage can organise a kitchen so well.
So thank you for showing me storage that I didn’t know was available and suggesting using them in different ways.” Brenda Mitchell

“Hi Sara, it was very lucky for me that I attended your seminar on the first day of a weeks holiday, I took the week off as I could no longer put up with the mess that was the way I lived. Have sent you some of my pics but they do not really tell you the full story, as I have got rid of a whole shelving unit that was taking up to much space in my tiny kitchen, my fridge is now user friendly and i can now shop and know that i am not doubling no sorry quadrupling up. You can use the pics if they are any good to you.
Your seminar has helped me look at my life and the way I do things and i now have a freedom that comes with routine, I use to think freedom was not needing routine. So thank you thank you.” Colleen Ross
“Thank you so much for your time at the workshop, I thoroughly enjoyed it and was extremely motivated.
I am used to initiating a declutter at home and being highly excited about the end result before I even begin, whereas my husband is normally dreading the decluttering exercise and often dampens my enthusiasm.
Therefore, I had already decided on leaving Midland that I would start the first phase of my decluttering (sorting) without even engaging the help of my husband.
Well, was I in for a surprise! When I came home from my workshop with you, I shared your tips, common behaviours and planning advice with him.
Just because I was so impressed and happy to change my behaviours and start making a difference to my house.
Oh my gosh, the next day, my husband said “I’m so glad that you went to that workshop. I’m actually really excited about decluttering our house. Which room shall we start with and when can we start”. I was blown away. I told him that was the first time in 14 years that he’s ever been excited about me initiating work within the house that he’s involved in. We had a chuckle together!!
Anyway, we followed your tips, planned the declutter, stuck to our 3 hour time limit and managed to clear out 2 whole cupboards. Mostly was baby items that we could sell and some to give away. There are a few items left behind for me to find the right storage box for.
We haven’t finished the room yet but we have completed 2 out of the 3 zones in the room, so we are on the right way to having a new room to use.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! FROM THE HEARTS OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY!” Valery Wells

“It is comforting to know I am not the only one with clutter issues. Although a lot of the information seems like common sense, until it was said, I didn’t realise the implications. Can’t wait to get started on the declutter.” Workshop attendee
“All very good, and gave us the last exercise, a vision statement to do, which I think really made us think why we there and why that’s time going to unclutter; also in the group setting easy to see that others different ages/sex having same issue – not on own.” Workshop attendee
