Out nothing
oops"The purpose of Life is to spread and create Happiness" :j0 -
Well the decluttering starts again this week(!)
From Dad's room:
2 black sacks of clothes for the charity shop
small filing cabinet to freecycle
From Mum's room:
Bags of clothes from wardrobe
Wardrobe to go up into our bedroom, so she can get some more useful drawers instead.
Sewing room:
Threw out the collapsing cardboard storage boxes and put the fabric into some stacking plastic boxes that I had previously cleared of clutter.
Elsewhere:
Good home found for a single bed that was in one of our cupboards.
Downstairs WC (being replaced with a Victorian version) has been given to a freecycler.
All the wrappings from the replacement radiators has gone into the recycling/rubbish (yes! that means the corner in the dining room is now radiator free!)
Flooring to be fitting in top bedroom once radiator installed, which means that at last we can reinstate the spare bedroom and get the landing 100% back to its intended use!
Other plans:
-Clearout my/OHs wardrobe
-Get OH to clear out small bedside table sitting in our bedroom that he brought from old house to put in spare room
-Kitchen storecupboard clearout/use up.Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!
