Louise, a few weekends ago I rang you when you were in the midst of quite a big clean-out of your wardrobe.

You're quite good at doing a bit of an audit, aren't you?

Yeah, no, it's bad.

Is it because you've worn it and then you just put it back?

I thought you meant just wear the same clothes but just add layers.

Yeah, no, we both do that.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

I couldn't get my head.

And I think that's the thing.

I'm just too lazy.

It's just too big a job to go through it all and try and trim it down and work it all out.

I just live in chaos and it's not really serving me well.

Might not quite be the same as that, but that's okay.

I pull everything out and vacuum under there occasionally.

I think for me also, over the last five years, my body shape's changed a lot.

You know, perimenopause hits and things change.

And I think I also just can't be – I can't be arsed trying to get my head around actually what fits anymore, what needs to go and what can stay.

And, you know, there's quite a bit going on.
