Overseas there is Clear Your Clutter Day (I wonder how long it will be before Australia also sees a need to highlight the problems of clutter by devoting a day to decluttering?)

Sometimes these events result in increased awareness and other times they don't seem to make much difference. And occasionally they are just for fun. Could I have a FruChoc please?
