Downsize to a Richer, Happier Life

Charles Upham Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.

Natural fertiliser

Kim from Oxford

Just wondering if anyone out there is interested in natural fertiliser?

The below article refers to poultry manure which I am assuming is chicken manure. What many people do not know is that duck manure is the closest to a perfect npk (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio of any manure.

Just wondering if anyone out there is interested in natural fertiliser?

The below article refers to poultry manure which I am assuming is chicken manure. What many people do not know is that duck manure is the closest to a perfect npk (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio of any manure.

This post is basically just wanting to get an idea of whether natural fertiliser is of interest to anyone out there, and if so what their requirements would be for it to be cost efficient and what form(s) it would need to be in to be useful for them, and what quantities and how often they would need for it to be useful?

Also any concerns or questions anyone might have about using natural fertiliser.

I will add a couple of links related to this here for anyone interested to read. There is plenty more info on this which anyone interested can google for themselves and form their own opinion.
