Look outside: it\u2019s miserable, isn\u2019t it? What happened to the sun, and the heat, and the laughing children playing games on the street?<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what happened: the sun is focusing its rays on the other side of the world, the heat has gone with it and the kids are back in school.<\/p>\n
Or, if you prefer, we live in Britain.<\/p>\n
Luckily, there is a way to lift your post-summer blues: a good decluttering session. Yes, tidying up. Wait, where are you going? Don\u2019t leave us!<\/p>\n
We\u2019re only suggesting that you tidy up because it\u2019s proven to make you happy. Look, here\u2019s a website that says so<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBut musicMagpie!\u201d\u009d, we hear you cry. \u201cI\u2019m already happy. What other reasons are there to have an Autumn declutter?\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n Well, hypothetical reader, we\u2019re glad you asked…<\/p>\n Autumn sucks. It\u2019s cold, it\u2019s miserable and all the pretty leaves fall off the trees. You\u2019ve got no reason to go outside.<\/p>\n That means spending more time inside, watching TV and doing whatever else people do in their houses. Unfortunately, quite a lot of people neglect their homes over summer and let clutter pile up. It\u2019s perfectly understandable; why would you want to stay indoors tidying up when its sunny outside, unless you\u2019re one of those women from that cleaning programme on Channel 4 a few years ago?<\/p>\n Now is the perfect time to catch up on your cleaning. Round up everything you don\u2019t need and get rid of it \u201d\u201c your house will be a much nicer place to be afterwards.<\/p>\n More time indoors means more time watching TV, which means you\u2019ll need more stuff to entertain your eyeballs with. You only have finite space to store DVDs though; what\u2019s the solution?<\/p>\n Easy: sell your old DVDs and replace them with shiny new ones. You can get an instant price for your unwanted DVDs by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Remember when it was really sunny and you bought Now That\u2019s What I Call Summer Dance Anthems 2,867!<\/i> for that impromptu barbecue you held (or at least planned to)?<\/p>\n It probably won\u2019t be as good when you\u2019re sitting at a bus stop in the pouring rain. Sell it and replace it with some weather-appropriate music – may we suggest some Radiohead or The Cure?<\/p>\n Apple has released a brand new toy and everyone wants to get their hands on one. The iPhone 6 is bigger, better and bendier<\/a>, but it also costs over \u00a3500.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, loads of great games have been released on the Xbox One and the PS4…both of which cost over \u00a3300.<\/p>\n How are you going to afford either of them?<\/p>\n Again, the answer is simple: sell some of your current electronics and put the cash towards your new fancy gizmos.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already have FIFA 14 <\/i>and Destiny<\/i>, and over the coming months the likes of Alien Isolation, The Evil Within, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Super Smash Bros., Sunset Overdrive, Far Cry 4, Halo 5 <\/i>and Metal Gear Solid 5 <\/i>all hitting our shelves over the next few months. It\u2019s a good time to sell those games you\u2019ve already played<\/a> and make some cash!<\/p>\n
\nYou\u2019ll be spending more time inside<\/h4>\n
\nIt\u2019s a good time to renew your DVD collection<\/h4>\n
\nYou need to get rid of the sunny compilation CDs you bought<\/h4>\n
\nThere are loads of new electronics to play with<\/h4>\n
\nToo many games, not enough cash<\/h4>\n
