:hello:Hi Djonma and other newbies welcome to the Great Declutter thread. I joined a few weeks ago now but so far haven't achieved as much as I wanted to. I have therefore decided that my major declutter will start in January 2010 and I'm merely getting used to the idea at the moment! Thats my excuse anyway
As other posters have recommended on this thread just declutter a bit at a time, a draw here, a work top there and that way it doesn't seem so overwhelming. There are some great declutterers on here to inspire you, but then you only have to read the thread to see that!!
In: Christmas presents from snapfish, prints from snapfish, OH Christmas present,
Mr Marks and Mr Spencer delivery, Junk Mail
Out: Green recycling bin out but now back in, packaging from deliveries, junk mail, local papers, book to neighbour.
Sorry for the long post, but you do all inspire me with your decluttering!!:rolleyes:
I just need to get on with it now.... in the New Year obviously!!
