The Great Declutter - 18 months on

Money_maker

Declutterers nightmare - got a broken ankle!! However bad your clutter may be, its even worse when you try to get round on crutches. Worse thing is sitting looking at it and you really want to move it... why was I not so inspired when I was mobile?

IN
Big plastered leg and crutches
All sorts of weird groceries - hubbys cooking - teaching him mse style
Children - school hols but really helpful with the lo

OUT
Recycling bin finally emptied (2nd collection only since Christmas)
Stuff listed on ebay (how on earth will I get to PO?)
My sanity - 5 more weeks of plaster to go

Hope you're all doing better than me x

Yeay!!! Another 8 items listed on ebay today!! OK, so no bids yet, but there are a few watchers - fingers crossed!!

Going out today are 2 books back to the library (DD will be returning books, but will be getting some out as well, so no change there) and a couple of freebie type toys from magazines to the bin (they never last!!) and another 6 items ironed and labelled for NCT sale in 10 days time (well, I suppose that last one's just pending, really).

On the in front - a rather large order from Bathstore (didn't come last week!) - but that's progress for the loft



ETA: as at 7pm 12 watchers & 1 bidder on ebay items

Since my last post, have been mostly neutral, except for the shopping arriving on friday.

But, I don't seem to be getting rid of anything, I think it's 'cos I am spending too much time reading these forums.....

I've still got a house full of tat, even though I've ebayed incessantly, have given away 12 bags to the charity shop and had a boot sale stall last weekend!

Thanks to everyone for being so inspiring! Will keep at it!

Don't get much of a chance to post any more..but have been back into decluttering recently!!

IN: Grocery shopping

OUT: 4 black bags to the tip
1 bag to charity shop
1 bag of old medicines to the chemist for safe disposal

Have started trying the flylady routines (from the book...have joined on here, but don't get chance to get on here everyday...so the book feels easier at the moment.) Have decluttered the bathroom (cleaned out all the cupboards, made a list of what I need to get etc..) and all in 20 minutes!!!:T - so that's a carrier bag of rubbish gone!!!:j Can see that it'll make things easier....just a case of getting into the routines.

Sitting here surrounded by boxes that are going to the auction for sale - can't believe I am selling instead of buying :rolleyes:

Really making inroads into this decluttering now, and making some money as well :j

Keep going everyone
