Nice thread! I've been decluttering my room recently, all old clothes being sold on ebay, old games also sold.

Alot of old junk thrown out and i did find a cornet instrument which i'm going to sell and hope for around £20 so fingers crossed there!

I've not been here for ages - doing a course, revising for an exam and, thank goodness, passing an exam, has taken all my time!

Anyhoo, back to it :

OUT

Old (very old) bank statements - shredded
3 bags of clothes, shoes and books to the charity shop

IN

:j I have just completed two weeks of avid wombling, which has resulted in a massive declutter. I've been keeping tabs on what has gone out to motivate myself, so:

IN - ten cardboard storage boxes


OUT (to recycling or rehoming where possible):

• 43 bin bags
• 17 boxes
• 2 rugs
• 7 pieces carpet
• 12 bags magazines/paper
• 1 TV stand
• 1 broken dishwasher
• 2 bean bags
• 1 inflatable chair and sofa
• 1 quilt
• 2 boxes books
• 1 desk
• 1 prehistoric stereo
• 2 cushions
• 4 lamps
• 2 bedside tables
• 7 pounds of surplus human, worked off on three floors of house stairmaster

This is made up of the extra stuff we had when we moved in together, and never got round to shifting. We now have a virtually empty new sitting room on the first floor and a proper store room on the top floor for things like Christmas decorations and items that are used occasionally.

Next project: wardrobes (after a few days off to recuperate :rolleyes:)

Well done Hollyberry - very impressive.

Well done Hollyberry.

Last full week of the school holidays, so I will be flinging like crazy this week. Can't fit in any more big projects, but have got 2 rooms decorated. Planning on giving the house a good clean and getting organised for back to work.

IN nothing

OUT general household rubbish.

Good Luck everyone.
