2017 - No Clutter To Be Seen

Oh,I am soooooo pleased with my work this afternoon!!
My front room is finally decluttered.:j:j:j.I have been decluttering the house since October,but with a special focus on out front room,and finally, it is done :j:j:j.
Now,when I ssay completely decluttered,towards the end,I have cheated a little,incey,tinsy,teeny-weeny bit .Assorted jumbles of paper,which are going to take 166,674,345,789 years to sort completely,I have bundled up into bags,and hidden in a wicker basket .My plan now is to continue decluttering the rest of the house that needs to be done, during the day,and in the evening,while watching tv,sort out one bag at a time.I have been decluttering this room since October,and I think I owe myself a quick win.Mostly the papers are kid's artwork,and it is going to take forever.
Out so far today:

Binned:
431:a clay "thing" that daughter made about 2 years ago at an outdoor/forest workshop.It had been sitting on the window-cill for years,was crumbling around the rim.......

Recycled:
432:Joules paper shopping bag from Christmas 2015.Too good to throw out,but it had just been sitting around in the window cill (sometimes I think it things like this might be worth a couple of pounds on ebay,etc,though I have never sold a paper bag on
ebay......)

Also from the window-cill I rehomed into my display cabinet, 3 home-made clay footprint imprints my partner made from two eldest kids in 2003.Their feet were tiny!!!

There was also a tower my eldest made and painted when she was very little.In Welsh dresser.

Forgot to mention,last night a friend had a spontaneous "come around and have a few drinks-I am feeling fed-up" evening.I used it as an excuse to declutter
433-435 3 bottles of wine to the party.They were given to me by customers for Christmas last year,but I don't drink.In previous years,bottles of wine and other alcohol I don't know what is,have sat around for years and years until they turn to vinegar,I am sure.At least these ones were maybe drunk last night,or at least left at a drinkers house for future use.........

Well done on letting go of the dress Kitkatmum - how about you turn keeping the necklace into a success by wearing it whether the occasion warrants it or not OR arrange to do something that does warrant it?

I will definitely try to wear it somerandom - I may drop a hint at my husband to take me somewhere where I can wear it!

We decluttered the toy box today. I am really pleased with how much we have got rid of. Everything I've counted has been either donated or thrown out, but there is also a basket of toys to try selling and a bag full to offer to friends/relatives. I'll not count those until they are gone though. Very happy but still loads to do!

decluttered some hair curly things into the bin. then general kitchen waste and old receipts

A shampoo and a mouthwash used up last night during my evening routine

Both bottles put out for recycling which has meant a little bit of space gained back in the bathroom as ours is littered with various bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash :rotfl:

I have scoped out a couple of bottles with hardly anything left in them. These are a shampoo, a body wash(albeit a men's one but they all do the same thing!) and a shave gel. Turned them upside down(apart from the shave gel) to make it easier to get the last bits out during showers over the next few days, the resulting empty bottles(and can) will then be put in recycling thus making even more space in the bathroom :j

I am also about to use up a deodorant(then will pull last one from stash :eek: ) and a body spray while getting ready for work(also then moving on to last one from stash!) and will toss the cans in downstairs bin just before I leave the house
