The Great Declutter - 18 months on

Eager_Elephant

Well today is my first day off until I go back to work on Tuesday.

I have huge ideas about what I plan to do but whether I can actually get it done is another matter!!

Today and probably tomorrow is going to be taken up with sorting out my Amazon shed, checking the books and then hopefully the books which need to be listed which are stacked in the bedroom can be done.

This will then free up most of the bedroom and I will have a clear space to walk!!!

Then at the weekend I plan to tidy my bedroom through completely.

I will let you know how I get on later on.

Good luck everyone with the decluttering

In - large quantity of groceries - monthly delivery from Mr Sainsbury.

Out - all the leaflets that come with appliances that we no longer have, like the microwave I think we got rid of five years ago.

And I have gone through the fridge and got rid of all those 'once opened keep refrigerated and use within 14 days' that you get at Christmas and use once.

Also

In - one pushchair - but the old one will be out as soon as I can persuade dear heart to take it to the tip. My darling uncle suggested I keep the old pushchair for little bear to play with and I nearly burst into tears.

Out - all the post that was delivered today has been dealt with appropriately (binned junk mail) and also the free paper (recycling).

Well I'm just about to go to bed so thought I better update you.

I have sorted through 10 bags of books and put them into piles to sell and to get rid off.

I started sorting my boxes of books which are being sold on Amazon - I managed 6 of them.

Then I took 12 bags of unwanted books to the recycling centre which raises money for disabled people.

Although I have been working all day I feel like I haven't done anything. The shed is choc-a-block and I have another 55 boxes to sort out before I can start listing the books which are stacked in the bedroom.

Am thinking I should have taken a month of work!!!
