Hubby has finished boarding the loft :j after much huffing & puffing and a bady bruised thumb :rolleyes: really should look properly at what he is hammering .

There had loads of empty boxes in the loft for old Tv's Dvd's, Wii and numerous other things, these will all be taken to the tip for recycling.

You guys would be SOOO proud of me: am in the middle of a ginormous declutter of my bedroom. Have thrown about half a tree's worth of paperwork out, and there's plenty more where that came from! Feels great to be doing it at last - the piles are shrinking before my eyes. I have a lot to go, but it will be worth it when it's done. I'm looking forward to feeling so clean and decluttered. :T

Could I join in please? My house doesn't look bad at first but it's what lurks beneath that is the problem. I run a Guide unit and have all the paperwork and clutter from that as well as two teenagers and OH who plays with old cars - bits of which migrate into the house if I'm not paying attention.
We are all on holiday next week and I hope to spend one hour (at least)each day on a different room so that we will have made a decent dent in it by the time we all go back to school / work. The family are unaware of my plans but I am very good at getting people involved - they just don't know they want to do it yet

The more the merrier! I have a bedroom that breeds paperwork, a brother who does the same as your husband with car parts and a mother with an OCD for hoarding! Having said that, I'm rying to sort myself out first before getting round to them...have fun with your decluttering!

Motivating other people is easy - it's keeping myself motivated I have a problem with. I'm all enthusiastic for a while and then gradually give up. But not this time!

yesterday

in : food shopping (but that won't last long)

out : bag of books from DD2 bookcase to charity shop
game from DD2 bookcase to friend at work

I finish work at 5 today for just over a week so I hope to blitz things this week.

Good Morning!

I was de-clutterring quite nicely until the 18 rolls of loft insulation arrive.
