    I've sorted out DS's shelves in his cupboard and put some of his games and jigsaws away. I now have 1.5 bags for the charity shop and 1.5 bags of rubbish. Only thing is DS's bedroom looks worse than when I started!!!

    Wait until I finish my NVQ course...then the real decluttering will begin. I kept hold of somethings thinking "I'll still use that" but 12 months on and I haven't so FLING! as Pigpen would say :D I'm going to try and include some furniture in that as I'm hoping that as I declutter I'll need less and less storage. I will be also writing a wish list of all the things I want to replace/buy (top 5 all going to be NEW not second hand : My bed, Livingroom suite, coffee table, microwave, buy some bedroom furniture :D ) I might add a new desk to the list as well - this one I've had for 5 years and is a disgrace and I can't currently store the tower or printer on it :rolleyes: I can see me hitting the Argos catalogue ;):rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, I'm going to do another HHC at 1pm - 1.30pm and I'm hoping to cross some cleaning on the list off then :o:rotfl: Or I might just hit the bedrooms to tidy them :confused: I'll see...

    ETA : With you again Holly only I'm going upstairs I think :rotfl::rotfl:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
