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.

Wanted: an old/broken PROJECTION TV

Kieran from New Brighton

Are you disposing of an old/broken projection TV? I would like to have if and get the Fresnel lens from it.
It needs to be a projection TV, not an LED flat screen. See the website below that shows taking the Fresnel lens from projection TVs to make a huge sun light focusing collector.

Thanks, Kieran Scott.

PS, I will leave this add up for a long time... but I do not necessarily check the site very often. So if you have an old Projector TV, please call or text me on 0278 093 663.
