Hope it's ok to update my decluttering efforts here as I find it very inspirational!

IN
A swimming suit which actually got to me despite Debenhams changing the address on my order!

OUT
Some car parts on ebay!
Clothes, books and other bulky items which have been collected by ebay/freecyclers
Lots of shredding which has gone into my composter. Although I'm keen to declutter, I am adamant that I won't contribute to landfill!
Big bag of bedding and clothes to the charity shop
Also used up lots of odds and ends in the kitchen cupboard - discovered that I did have about four variants of each kind of herb and spice!

Feel much better, but still have a ton of useless car parts which I'm not sure what to do with! Might join the manufacturer's forum and see if anyone there is interested in them!

Hope everyone else is doing well - best of luck!

1 book sold
quite a lot of recycling, paper etc that I've sorted.

In:
Only food and other consumables recently, been very good.

I've started a bag for the charity shop and I'm drawing up a plan for the weekend as I have 5 days off and not a lot that I have to do. Lots of decluttering planned :rolleyes: will report back on Monday.

One thing I started this weekend - inspired by the 100 day challenge on the debt free wanabee thread - is to 'stock take' all my cosmetics and then I'll see what I really have and can start using and stop buying new things - even if Boots are practically giving them to me . Hopefully that'll declutter, save me money and I'll have beautiful skin
