  • Hi All

    I was wondering if I could join this thread, Ive been a bit of a lurker in the past, and have been so inspired by all of you that I would like to join in, in fact this is my very first post!!

    I am getting married in 7 weeks and I would like to make a start on decluttering my house to make a vague attempt to start married life a little more organised than it is now!!! Not sure how successful I am going to be as there will be an uphill battle with my OH to evict the motorcycle parts, the triplicated camping equipment and the random tools he leaves around!!

    My plan this weekend is as follows

    To declutter the books and DVD's in the spare bedroom
    To venture and declutter under the bed in the main bedroom
    To declutter under the kitchen sink

    Thanks again all for the inspiration
