I'm not really in the mood for decluttering today... so my week's total is:
In
Too much post to cope with, there is paperwork covering my desk, so this needs to be sorted out later.
Out
Jacket, pair of jeans and four tops were taken to the charity shop on Friday.
Pending
After sorting and filing away the post, I'm going to look through the bookcase to see what can go - will probably not be much as I love my books, but OH wants to put some of his books on there too!0
