Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

Stand By Union & Wellington Streets residents for noisy night works x8
AT have upcoming asphalt resurfacing work taking place on Union and Wellington Streets. This involves the milling/removal of the old surface and replacement. No footpath renewals though. As usual.
(isn't it interesting how terrible the footpaths can get but rarely any works to improve them in this area...)
The work is scheduled to start on Sunday 7th January and will take eight nights to complete.
Can't have any 'disruption on the network' just disruption all night to residents instead. How about Auckland Transport shares the pain - 50/50 between residents and 'the network'? A plan for 2024?
