    Lots of sad things out this week but a few nice things in!

    Our wonderful dog Joey had to be put to sleep so his kennel and items were given to friends!

    Loads to the tip...again!

    In

    Some items for our new kitten (arriving in a few weeks!)

    4 baby rabbits (totally unexpected!!! Thought our two were girls... oops!)

    Looks like everyone is doing well!

    Out - half a skipful of rubbish from the basement at work (does this count?) It was sooo much fun.

    Now, just need to find the same enthusiasm for home....

    not really done much since the car boot, i feel like i peaked and there's still so much else needs to be done. maybe it should just be taking small steps each day.

    LT - I think it is baby steps for the declutter, and then you see some progress but not straight away. For me, I make some progress and declutter then it all seems to come back into the room of doom! Keeping on going regardless and will get there sometime!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Well we've totally de-cluttered over the last week as the packers came last Thursday & Friday to pack all our things off in a container which is now in the middle of the ocean somewhere on its way to Oz.

    So over the last week (as i havent had chance to post here much)....

    In -

    Carpet cleaning fluid
    10 picture post cards from Padstow
    1 decanter (birthday gift for hubs)

    Out -
    5 bin liners full of coathangers, taken to tesco as they recycle them
    7 bin liners of clothes given the the charity shop
    2 garden chairs, broken so taken to the tip
    5+ black sacks of shredding taken to the tip
    5+ black sacks of general rubbish and tat taken to the tip
    3 garden inflatables given to children in my street

    Thats it for me for now, i fly to oz on Monday and as I dont have a fridge or any cooking utensils i wont have much to post about until i arrive and get back into the swing of things.

    Im hoping that once my container arrives i realise i dont need half the stuff in it so the great de-clutter can continue as i unpack.

    Good Luck Pix with your move and the 'less clutter in the future' we all are aiming for!

    Hope life is good in Oz!
