Downsize to a Richer, Happier Life

Grace Joel 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.

Two cute reasons why I would like you to support 9 Lives Orphanage NZ with your vote.

Don from Panmure

Earlier this year I was involved with helping my neighbour Laurence and his family to successfully rescue a local colony of kittens, adopting the two cuties below in the process. All the others have homes or were fostered.

All the others have homes or were fostered. Many others offered their help making this possible, with 9 Lives Orphanage NZ providing wonderful support which allowed for the neutering of the kittens at minimal cost which was required for them to be fostered. I am appealing to you to support this charity in order to give them a chance to share $500,000. Let's make a difference together by voting for them at mygivingcircle.org...
It costs you nothing and votes count double this weekend, so be quick! I would love to give something back to the unsung heroes.

Mito (he is the guy on the left with the panda eyes) and Ergo (she is the cat supermodel on the right) got dealt a difficult hand at the start, but thanks to Laurence they got food in their bellies and have become beautifully socialized, high energy delights. They have gone from being wild terrified balls of fluff hiding behind the fridge to being ultimate lap cats who will sleep on you if they get the chance. They are entertainment machines as they chase each other around and make a toy out of every scrap of cardboard, milk bottle top or anything else small that moves. They are great mates each with their own very different personality. But none of this just happened, it had to be made to happen. These beautiful guys could so easily have been just another sad statistic. Like so many others are. So for the sake of all the others who have no choice in their circumstances, please support 9 Lives Orphanage NZ and other charities of your choice. Please vote. Thank you.

Solid 5 metre x 2 metre retractable awning (cover roll and frame) for sale

Dale from Panmure

Expressions of interest are invited on the above item, which will be taken down probably some time in the next 3-4 weeks.
It is difficult to gain a full perspective from the photos, because of its length and degree of extension, but the last pic doesn't show it at full extension.

Expressions of interest are invited on the above item, which will be taken down probably some time in the next 3-4 weeks.
It is difficult to gain a full perspective from the photos, because of its length and degree of extension, but the last pic doesn't show it at full extension.
I think that the framing is powder coated aluminium (not sure) but it is very solid and in excellent condition. It is hand wound in and out.
The cover has rotted out for about the last metre, but the rest of the .canvas-like fabric is in good condition. That leaves two options, 1. reduce the length of extension by cutting off the last metre or so and tucking and restitching the new edge, or 2. replace the fabric roll completely with a new product.
Only being sold because now being replaced by a PVC topped gazebo.
With a bit of imagination this could make an awesome addition to your home.
$99 firm, but buyer will need to collect from Panmure.

Price: $99
