  • Good Sunday afternoon everyone!! Bit late to start but I'd like to join x.
    I have already made a start, 1 paperwork file sorted and old stuff shredded/recycled. Dd2 bedroom just decorated, we have sorted lots and fb'd some stuff (people do want everything for nothing, don't they!) but still lots of her stuff to sort once the new furniture arrives.
    I estimate binning 4 black sacks, recycling roughly 3(including my paperwork), shredding 1 black sack and fb'ing 5 items of furniture, 1 bag, nail stuff, 2 wii games, onside and a pair of curtains.

    Quite proud of myself really, just need to keep the momentum going ��

  • Afternoon All
    DD and I have made a start on decluttering old IT she no longer uses/plays with. So her old Samsung Galaxy phone plus charger, her Nintendo DS, case and charger, plus 9 Nintendo DS games have all gone. Exchanged at CeX for £60 and a new Apple lightning cable which DS needed. DD is delighted with her windfall and I have less stuff in the house. Excellent. Think both her and DS will be inclined to do same with similar stuff they own but no longer use. So, hopefully will be posting more stuff as gone soon :j. I'm trying not to think about how much was paid for it all originally, just remembering how they did play with it and love it all once.

    Surely losing DS1 out the door counts as decluttering? :rotfl:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
