Well, I have brought in - milk! I am reasonably confident that this doesn't count, especially as I adore milky tea.

Out - well, two things listed so far on ebay,
several cardboard boxes that I had put aside 'just in case'. I am on excellent terms with local shops so I am confident I could find a box if I needed one!

Yesterday was empty bins day and the binmen came this morning with their usual subtle crash bang shout.

I can't seem to get on to Freecycle, it seems to be done through Yahoo and unfortunately I can't get my Yahoo account to work But I have been very stern with myself. If it has to go, it has to go. When I have space to store for recycling then I shall be more conscientious but until that time I shall do what I have to do to declutter.

Dear heart keeps putting glass in the bin. Our recycling collections won't take glass. I must, as a matter of urgency, find a place to take glass bottles and such.

I am resolved to keep posting here. At least then I can keep motivated and buck my ideas up!

Haven't been on since saturday so since then

Out: Two bags for the charity shop one stuff to sell the other rags. A box full of clothes for my brother, two pairs of curtains and two bottles of bleach. And some christmas cards for my mum. 3 x metal sweet/biscuit tins not longer need. Problem was one was full of biscuits that where 5 months out of date :mad: chucked them. And some cardboard that went off to recycling centre. Where I discovered that they take Juice cartons :j.

In: A craft tube which is a christmas present.

I took hours cleaning and tidying up the kitchen. Shall see how long that it lasts :rotfl:

I have one more cupboard to sort out now in the kitchen and then I think that we are de-cluttered in there for the time being.

Yours

Calley

Isn't it strange how when you bring something in and you don't have anywhere to put something and you just put it down it stays there and stays there. I have just moved a quantity of bags from underneath my kitchen table

(Out - one rusty nicer dicer that was a completely unwanted gift)

and they have been sitting there for so long, and it only took a few minutes. Of course, when little bear isn't having a nap I am going to have to move the unwanted children's videos from the top of the freezer to his room, so that they can be displayed whenever darling uncle visits.

Actually, I think that last sentence contained a revelation. I shall think about that some more. I may be able to evict more clutter than I thought, if I am resolute enough.

well today I have decluttered the freezer!!

Sadly it was by accident... found the door ajar and now have about a third of the stuff in there as loads defrosted!! WHOOPS!!

Oh well we had a strange mix of stuff for tea and will be doing the same for the next 2 nights at least!!!

I'm lucky that we can put glass in our recycle bags, other than that I need to go to the local garden centre as the glass bottle banks are there. Must say, the wine consumption has decreased since I had to put glass bottles in clear bags outside my house..much easier to dump 20 or so wine bottles in the bottle bank
