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....GC April 93.92/5000 -

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!

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.
