Dealing with shoes - Declutter

Dealing with shoes - Declutter - Minimalism

It is now 6 weeks, I have been in the process of decluttering my home and achieve a minimalist lifestyle.
The project 333 is going well. I still appreciate the emptiness of my wardrobe. Apart from all the stuff that has been given away or sold, I also purged my digital life. I feel freer from all the subscriptions coming in my inbox and do not watch TV no more. Calendar are also less filled with stuff and I can appreciate more time at home with those I love.

Yesterday, I have done some positive procrastination reading missminimalist blog and it struck me...
There is still... A problem....Shoes
I am using currently 3 pairs of shoes for the project 333 but I have still so many of them in bags in the shed. They have been there since we moved in the house as we did not have enough space to put them inside.
I haven't counted them, there are many. It should be as easy to just chuck away the bag but I find difficulty to do that. I am thinking 'in case I need it for an outings, a wedding and/or any other parties'.
So what shall I do to part from them?
Any ideas?

Home Energy, Footpaths Challenge - Monitoring Energy Consumption

According to the Energy Saving Trust you could find that your energy usage drops by between five and 15% in the first year of using an energy monitor, which could be a saving of £25 to £75 on a £500 bill. I am following the homework of the Footpaths book as promised in previous post ( here ). I set myself to read my meters every week to monitor my energy consumption. It is tedious. I tried twice to make it an habit. I fell miserably. Reading is not really the issue but accessing the meter might be the issue. I better put my shoes elsewhere and learn to squat. I recognise that for changing you have to recognise first your pattern of behaviour. The truth of the matter is that I do not know exactly how bad we behave in our household. Badly, most probably. Example - I spent most of the day in my warm gown with a hat on. The heaters were off. Then family came back home in the evening. I went to the kitchen to cook. I came out of the kitchen, go...

Horrid Airbnb Experience - Part 6

In part 5, M. confront B. who is half of the man we first met. He cries and he is ashamed of himself. He promises he won't drink no more. We decide to keep him one more night and to help him with his car the following day. The night comes. M. is called to visit his sister. I decide to go with him reluctantly. As M. and I come out of the house. B. comes down the stairs and said that he is going for a walk. I do not trust him. M. said to me to not worry that he talked to him and everything will be fine. We arrive in front of her sister house. I decide to go back to the house as I am not feeling well. I go back to the house. No one yet. I can hear the clickety of the keys in the door. I decide to open it because I know B. is back. He looks at me, scared. In his a Tesco bag with a pack of 10 Stella Artois. I am horrified. I decide not to confront him. He goes upstairs to the bedroom. I call M.: ''Come back to the house NOW''

Horrid Airbnb experience - Part 1

We had been renting a room in our house for about 6 months. We enjoyed the stream of visitors, yet we were looking for someone who could live with us on a more long-term basis. B. entered our life and we were pleased. He booked a room through Airbnb one week in, one week out. We fell in love with the guy. He was a gentle soul, funny and a bit shy. We had many things in common including our vision for the future. We liked to have him around. M. had started to introduce him to friends. People appeared to appreciate him. We had a trip planned. We were travelling for two weeks and a half or so. B. had lived with us for two months or so, we trusted him and so we agreed through the Airbnb scheme to leave him our home with confidence that all would be well. Off we went.
