I am sure the majority of us won't be sorry to see the back of 2020. Usually I am a bit sad at New Year - not sure why, just that feeling of leaving something familiar behind and moving towards something different - but I really don't feel that way this year.
On the plus side, I have managed to go for the whole year without buying any clothes - absolutely nothing at all - which is something that has never happened before. To be honest, it was easy as working from home and barely leaving the house meant good old jeans and a top fitted the bill nicely, however it's now got to be a bit of a habit not to look at the websites of my favourite stores, so I think I will give a lot more thought in future to clothing purchases. I also de-cluttered my wardrobe so have fewer items but things that I forgot I owned have become regular favourites now.
Back in the Summer we grew our own tomatoes for the first time - thanks to some kind people in the neighbourhood who had a surplus of plants and left them outside the front of their houses for people to help themselves. That was great fun and I'll definitely be doing that again.
Did some crafts during the year which I probably wouldn't have had time for previously, especially Christmas decorations using stuff I found around the house.
Watched some box-sets/series which I enjoyed (Schitts Creek especially).
None of the above makes up for not being able to see family, friends or colleagues (apart from virtually) but fortunately we've stayed well and there's a light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccination being rolled out.
Wishing you all a happy & healthy 2021 - is there anything from 2020 which was a positive for you?

so I am really ready now to de-cleanse, de-clutter and de-tox. I still have our summer clothes in the wardrobe, couldn't be bothered to swap stuff over, just pulled the odd jumper out.
