Thread Name: Summer 2014 Exercise the right to declutter!
Subject: RE: Summer 2014 Exercise the right to declutter!
Just accomplished a MAJOR bit of decluttering. I need to get my disgraceful front room re-decorated (as part of a 7 phase programme of home improvement) - but it has been cluttered by a massive CRT TV set. I've been meaning to get a new flat screen telly for ages - but was a bit intimidated by the choice. I tentatively chose a Sony but sort of convinced myself that it would be difficult to set up. I was also unsure about how to get rid of the CRT set. I went into a local branch of Currys-PC World (a UK electrical and computer chain) and asked a salesman about setting up the Sony. He told me that it was easy but said that if I bought one, the person who delivered it would set it up for me AND would take away the old one! It arrived on Tuesday (my birthday). It was set up in minutes and it works just fine - best birthday present I ever bought myself!
I feel a bit guilty about ditching the old CRT set - which still worked - but really do need to sort out my slum residence. Only two more rooms to go now!
