Penny... when you say you're planning your next massive declutter and cleaning spree, how long ago was your last one?? Sorry if its obvious but I'm new to this thread

I'm impressed you're using a week of your holiday to blitz your house :T sad... i dont think so, the end result once achieved will be fabulous!

Keep us informed of your progress, I'm going to have another declutter at the weekend whilst I'm still a motivated decluttering newbie

LOL I keep tidying my storage boxes and cupboards regularly & I always seem to cling on to old things...you know, "I will use this some day" -stuff.
I haven't done a full clearout since I moved six years ago and thought that it's time I get my place organised again.

I do tidy up, you know :rolleyes:, but it is room by room and somehow I always seem to end up moving things from one cupboard to another! (Time to stop doing that!)

I have been listing things I want to donate/bin, but I am trying hard not to move things to boxes just now - I'll be more motivated when my holiday starts when I can start going through my list and tick things off the list when they go to the boxes! My local charity shop won't know what hit them! :rotfl:
