    This weeekend I have spent 6 hours decluttering papers :eek::eek:.I have a plastic hanging files box that I bought from Staple a few years ago.But I also had boxes and bags,some organised,and some not so organised papers-all needing sorting through.
    By the end of it, I have either put out for recycling,or set aside for shredding,9 inches depth (nearly 23cm) of paper :eek::eek:.Very pleased with that.Am counting it as 9 on my chart,so that is 233-241.
    Today I also decluttered 3 hours of my life,and a few hundred £,completing my tax return :o.Always nice to have out of the way,that job........

    87-89 some toiletries used up. A sample sachet and 2 from hotels.

    Need to do more but definitely better than if I wasn't posting.

    I have been poorly over the weekend so nothing much done. Did find a patchwork knitted blanket that I am going to use in the car while I make another one in colours I like. Still weeding books but that is slow. Found another place to leave them today; GP has a table to put them on, people buy them for charity.

    I am looking at all my clutter in a new light now that I am posting here too. More things are definitely going rather than coming in.
