  • Money maker I have just seen your post-paperwork and filing!! Sadly my bedroom has storage boxes stacked with paper.
    You have inspired me,usually I just look at it and leave the room.

    I will stay and look at it in the morning and sort some out.

    No time for any decluttering apart from planting a few bits out in the garden and sorting the gardening bits which are in the dining room atm :rolleyes:

    Used a few more cosmetics up and will be selling some more today fingers crossed so more of them have gone.

    On the plus side only 1 little box for storing seeds and a skirt in over the weekend (well some library books out and some in) so that's good.

    In:

    8 books from the table sale in the village ( grand total £3) - holiday reading, so straight OUT to the cupboard in the caravan. I'll read them in the month we're away over the summer, and any other Brits we meet will happily take them off my hands as I finish reading them!

    A fab travel cot from the tip - another £3, so we can have The Baby overnight without having to cart a lot of stuff backwards and forwards from my son's house - it's been put straight upstairs and tidied away!

    A small, good quality concertina-style filing wallet, to keep 'live' paperwork in that has been, until now taking over the kitchen table and depressing the bejesus out of me, and multiplying in the dark.

    Out:

    A lot of the loose papers from the kitchen table - important stuff filed away, envelopes and junk recycled, anything with an address or details on, burnt.
    The other half to the pub.

    Place looks tidier already!
    Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!

    DH is ploughing through the garage, not enough for a recycling centre run yet, but well on the way.

    Dropped a book off at the charity shop yesterday & recognised lots of the bric-a-brac that we took in last week :o.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
