The Great Declutter - 18 months on

tattycath

I went to see a friend yesterday...she's so organised!!! I came home all motivated and last night at stupid o' clock I re-organised all my kitchen cupboards and threw away half a binliner full of rubbish!!!
Today I was in similar mood and attacked the garden and have 2 bags full of garden rubbish-hedge cuttings etc
Tonight I went through about 7 boxes of paperwork and have shredded or thrown away about 4 bags full of rubbish

Welcome to Pixie1 and kjsam and anyone else whose recently joined and who I've missed - I find it surprisingly helpful to 'own up' to things on here - and it's very satisfying writing down what you have got rid of I think.

My battle with paper work is continuing - more receipts shredded and spreadsheets updated and finally feel I'm making real progress with our finance organisation again :T.

Other than that very little has gone in and out really - I seem to have gone off shopping :eek: which is good for my house and for my bank balance if not slightly worrying and I'm continuing to use up cosmetics so a couple more things used up there too.

In - 4 tiny tuperware tubs 30p each from asda to put salad dressing in for my lunches at work

Out - 5 bags of clothes to the charity shop, one box of videos and an old ps2 plus games all brought by a friend.

Im loving this thread, like Yorkielass said, its so satisfying writing it down and realising how much you have got done!

The great Aussie move de-clutter is def under way!
