January is nearly done! For some, that means the weather is heading out of being quite so awful, while for others the worst is yet to come. For all of those heading into dreadful weather, may it not last long (and if we have anyone here from South Australia or Victoria, may I say Oh! My! about the temperatures you've been having. I'm aware that lots of other places have also been having interesting weather, but there have been some truly improbable numbers reported in those states in the last week.)

Last week's challenge was making your space welcoming to visitors by dealing with clutter in shared spaces. How did that go?

To finish up the last few days of the month, the final challenge is to get something out of the house. If, like me, you've been stockpiling things as you work through other spaces, there are lots of choices! If you have been the responsible adult in the room, and been dealing with getting identified items out of the house as you've been going along decluttering spaces, I suggest picking the area you felt least happy with at the end of its focus week, and seeing if there are some easy wins.

The next checkin will be the regular weekend one, but I might try and post on Saturday for the end of the month to round the challenge off neatly.

a day late, because we have a long weekend, and I lost track of the days

How goes the decluttering? Have you shifted anything out of the house? Found something to sort through? Had thoughts on things you can let go of?

Comments open to locals, lurkers, drive by sticky beaks, and anyone I've forgotten to mention.

Congratulations to everyone who has found and/or disposed on any clutter in the last week!

Optional extra, for those doing the low key January challenge: how go the visitor spaces?

Dear Annie: I'm just heartbroken. My son moved out last year, and he never talked to me about anything before he moved. We were so close, and we always talked. But all of a sudden, he packed up and moved out with no explanation. He had met someone a year prior to that. I met her for a second, and that was it. I do know where he is living but he doesn't know that I know. He has a new baby boy; I don't even know his name, yet he is my grandson. I know that he has two stepdaughters, but I don't know their names either.

I kept trying to call him but get no response. Now his phone is disconnected. I'm so lost and confused as well as upset. I miss him dearly.

He is my only child. He did a great job in school and had his own business after he graduated from high school. I am trying so hard to go on with my life, but it's so hard not knowing how he is, or whether he is safe, healthy and happy. He was a very good kid, and now he's a man. I just hope and pray that he will come around some day. -- Mom Is Lost

DEAR ABBY: Our 24-year-old daughter is getting married in 10 months. My wife is invited to the wedding, but I am not, and I am furious. The groom's family is paying for the trip, but they say I am not invited "for financial reasons."

I don't have a great relationship with my daughter. But that isn't the point. I told my wife that if the roles were reversed and she was excluded, I would not go. This may be a deal-breaker for me. It's apparent that our marriage doesn't mean as much to my wife as it does to me. What are your thoughts? -- ELIMINATED IN TEXAS
