The Great Declutter - 18 months on

angelavdavis

Hi everyone!

I have put a load of stuff on freecycle today for collection, hopefully I will have some takers....

I am planning to spend a couple of hours listing on ebay again - have got boxes and boxes of stuff to get rid of.

I also have three bags of old bedding that I am planning to give away to a local animal sanctuary. It's cluttering up one of the spare rooms so its got to go.

Planning to have a burnup in the garden to clear that too later!!!

Happy decluttering!!!!

My catalogue order I emntioned above has arrived.. I am eturning 2 of the 3 jumpers.. keeping the dress, returning the bag and keeping at least 2 of the 3 belts. The boots I am undecided.. one pair I am definitely keeping but the other pair is absoluely wonderful but they are going to take a fair bit of breaking in and I think they might break me first!!

Out..

1 carrier of recycling up to now and I intend attacking the childrens rooms shortly..

IN:
- food
- some more M&S pjs for OH's impending operation. He'll be in a week so we bought 4 pairs in the sale... then he found a shirt...and a posh cardi (easy to put on with a long chest wound) ... I 'just' added another blouse :rolleyes:

OUT:
- another bag of cardboard boxes (re-cycling)
- most of the contents of the small freezer . Hadn't been defrosted for over a year as I have been unable to do it, so better safe than sorry etc etc but very ashamed!

Ok, I'll fess up, I didn't do anything yesterday!
Today In: Nothing
Out: Old dining room table, old carpet, old fire surround, couple of bin liners full of old wallpaper, about 6 other bin liners, more rubbish- bits of wood etc.
The back of the car was jammed full and it's the size of a transit van!
My dining room is now empty and ready for decorating (after the major work's been done!).
Working all day tomorrow so hope DH will finish stripping the walls.

In:
Grocery shopping
Presents for Xmas/ birthdays (lots in next few months)
New books for children from Cheltenham literary festival
2 books from WI sale
top & tail bowl from freecycle
2 carriers of clothes from freecycle (although some of these will go straight back out when washed / sorted)


Out:
1 broken CD case
a flat screen pc monitor given to someone we know
recycling
coat returned to Asda (didn't like it on)
empty printer cartridge recycled via tesco clubcard


Hmmm - a net increase (even without the presents, which can be viewed as temporary)

Must do better this week!! (although my main problem is tidying, rather than getting rid of things)

Not much achieved this weekend here but I have a few days off now...

Flat was immaculate on friday but DS seems to have moved a whole lot of stuff about - I thought it would be impossible to make this much mess now but obviously not. Bloomin lego...

Lots of shredded paperwork out and only food in though.
