    Lamp no one wants on freecycle so going to the tip
    Old fridge door to the tip
    Box of paint to the tip
    Old dvd cases and DS game cases in the bin after dvd's all stored and filed
    Cardboard from new fridge door to the tip
    Tub of old paint tins next to the back door for 18mths to the tip (at last!)
    Old bathmat in the bin
    Plastic labels shredded and in the bin

    IN
    nothing yet for once!

    Come so far, still a long way to go before it is done! CD's need sorting out the bags they have lived in for 18mths, find a place for old cards kept, sort out packaging and boxes for ebay sales. Decide which cardboxes boxes are for keeping and which can go. Then put bulky items on ebay to continue clearance.

    I haven't posted for a while and it's totally because I have been pants, have not been decluttering at all.

    AAAAAGGGHHHH

    Despite this I have a pending out - my car which has decided to die. grrrrrr.

    Husband has been cleaning the kitchen and got rid of a load of rubbish / stuff that we were keeping for when it will be useful!!

    I will try and declutter as I seriously need to find the floor, particularly in the spare room cos husband wants the computer table back (sewing machine is in situ at the moment) for his computer, this could be a bonus cos he will no longer use mine for his silly games!!!


    Anyway I am going to try an get back on track and congratulations to you that keep on doing!!!!

    Morning!

    Well, I am miffed because my shredder seems to have died and I have piles of shredding set aside! Will give the diy fix another go later, else I will have to go to get another one.

    All the ebay items have been sent off and I have posted up another batch. I will list more on Turbolister later today ready for later in the week.

    I have a pile of magazines to give to the GP surgery when I go later and some books for the charity bookshop down the road. :T
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
