The Great Declutter - 18 months on

Glittermonkey

I have spent the day packing my eBay sales (I hate that part the most)

So going out will be a whole black bag full of clothes, split into parcels, am dreading the PO so have decided that I'm going to make a trip to each of my 4 local ones!
I had a bag full of next packaging from the sale, so have managed to use this for eBay. Friendly to the enviroment and another bag emptied.

Pushchair was picked up today so a tiny space created in garage.

Listed a load of bits on ebay this afternoon - now have to sit back and hope that some of them sell! We have also put an old hoover outside in our bin-store labelled up as "in full working order" - hopefully someone will find a use for it. If it's still there in the morning then it'll go onto freecycle.

2 more things sold on ebay today and ladies coming to collect on Tuesday :j:j

last 3 lots listed and that's all one lot of childhood toys gone.

A few bits in over the last few days - mainly curtersy of boots and some pressies for Christmas - but everything's been found a home

Have not yet been [strike]brave enough[/strike] started on the understairs storage as I have been cleaning DS2's room:

IN
- food shopping

OUT
- 1 old pillow (rubbish)
- 1 old duvet (to chapel for the street sleepers)
- 2 old curtains (recycling)
- 1 parcel of bits DS2 forgot

Later:
- collection of old sheets, lost pillow cases & tatty novelty duvet covers to charity shop as they get paid per kilo of fabric.
- lots of books to re-shelve plus a few to list on Greenmetropolis
- craft fabrics back to fabric box
- tons of dust to compost bin

Now left looking at lots of 'things' I don't know what to do with which was the main reason for dreading the task :rolleyes: .

IN: Two bags of groceries.

OUT: A large amount of out-of-date paperwork, old magazines and general carp from the racks under my computer desk. And the huge pile of stuff on top of Mr LW's CPU has been reduced to one notepad and the current issue of What's Brewing.

Over the weekend we managed to get the curtains up in the lounge so the packaging for them has gone. The curtains have been sitting in a cupboard for 4 years nearly.
One fire had on Friday evening so lots of junk mail used as firelighters.
As soon as I can pull my finger out and clear the ironing away we can put the sofa back in the lounge. Then we can do the major declutter on the dining room and gut it ready to decorate.
2 black bags of rubbish gone on Thursday. I must say, the lounge is coming together. Just have to keep on top of the rest of the house too. I'm finding it a nightmare trying to sort it all when DH doesn't do the washing up at night cause it's all left to me and I'm not doing it when I get home from work in the morning cause I just want to crawl into my pit!
(Hangs head in shame and thinks must try harder!)
