That's a very big declutter, considering all the stuff she is likely to take with her!

DD's old high sleeper (and hopefully the mattress as well )
Fridge Freezer - which should hopefully go before the weekend

Pending in:
Argos delivery - tomorrow 10-12 consisting of bedroom furniture, larder fridge, larder freezer
New Bed & mattress for DD - her first ever BRAND New one. She's always had second hand or ex-display stuff so this is a big treat

In:
New cordless screwdriver for me (ex took his when he moved out)
Baby George Foreman - now I can grill stuff without having to put the oven on
Lots & lots of bits for the house and Christmas (Bonus though - DD is just about done - just a selection box, and a few odd bits for her hamper if I see anything else for her :j )

After a week off work and some major clean up I was surprised at how little I found to get rid of. The house is sparkling now though:D

In
hooded fleece for me from charity shop (I should send DD as I usually find something when I go with stuff)
top for DD1 from charity shop
bright purple wedges for DD1 (sale)
wool for DD2 from charity shop
12 books from charity shop ( on at 6 for a £1!!!)


Out
a bag of books to charity shop
a bag of clothes to charity shop
a couple of black bags of rubbish to tip
a cardboard box of plant pots to charity shop
dvds & cds to charity shop
lots of paperwork to the recycling
games to friends and charity shop
a box of old bottles and jars to the recycling

We have a fantastic local village charity shop that is not linked to any particular charity and the prices are so much better than the big named ones in the local city. It's a bit addictive though.

new vac
new office chair
flatpack office furniture (some to stay in boxes until after the move)
new pc and printer
first aid kit refills
4 books (xmas presents)

Out (mostly freecycled)
empty flatpack boxes
old office chair
flower and veg seeds
2 tall shelf units
5 empty shoe boxes (to a freecycler for the shoebox appeal)
toiletries (following newly discovered allergies :rolleyes:)

Pending (spoken for and will be collected soon)

very large bookcase
folding table
bedside cabinet
assorted small items for charity sale

I'm using up store cupboard and freezer stocks, hope to turn the freezer off next weekend so I can clean it ready for the move.

happy days!

Im back -

Im hopeless if I dont follow threads, but then I follow threads and feel like Im spending all my time on the PC and not doing what I should be doing, so I STOP following the thread with the intention of getting on with it! But then I lose my way!


So here I am - Ive been decluttering for months and am still no further forward.... :rotfl: but not to worry, Ive found my way back to the thread!

Anyway, I have since put a wardrobe in my bedroom which is the first time since Ive lived in this house! (Over 3 years) and have filled it - but havent actually cleared it out.

And I seemed to have worked myself into a position where I am clearing stuff out of rooms, i.e. clothes etc, and then keeping it in an 'EBAY' pile and never getting round to listing stuff on Ebay cos its just so TIME-CONSUMING!!!

Anyway - hopefully I can get on with it now! xx
