    Recycled more magazines after spending most of the day browsing through them;)

    Also thrown away 2 old feather pillows, did consider splitting them open and putting feathers on compost heap but didn't get round to it as it hasn't stopped raining!

    Reading all your posts gives me that little bit of encouragement to declutter, thanks.

    Hi! :)

    Been lurking for a while and you have really motivated me to sort out the house.

    Did my first bit of decluttering today - 2 carrier bags to CS. Small step but feels really good.

    Have also looked on Zapper but they don't want most of my books :(
