pickle I have a four bedroom house, a double garage, a shed and a log cabin's worth of clutter :rotfl:

I have one bedroom and an attic's worth! Having said that, I'm a devious packer. I can get three times what a normal person can in a wardrobe. :eek: About half of my Ebay stuff has sold/looks like it will sell, so I'll be happy. If I can sell one particularly unusual (and valuable) lot, I'll be delighted, and I've managed to get rid of a pair of incorrectly-fitting shoes I've wanted to get rid of for absolutely AGES! Pity, as they are gorgeous! Still, it's all outoutout...:D

The other thing that I have discovered, and it seems to be a contradiction in terms, is a huge number of "re-usable bags".....you know, the cotton square bags that you get given at a county show, or other event, which have an awful marketing logo for "5 a day" or some firm of accountants, and which I am, presumably, expected to use every day instead of a carrier bag.......except the logos on are not exactly what I want to be seen with, so I end up more "reusable" bags than I will ever "reuse"

So, something that is supposed to be saving the planet, is going to end up in the bin......not the idea, I am sure!

What about using them for doing the shopping? They can't say aything worse than 'Tesco' or 'Sainsbury' or whatever, can they?!

You brave thing tackling the decluttering! I hate it. Our loft just stores junk and I tackle it once a year, try and sell some stuff and it ends up exactly the same state 6 months later :mad:

Have you found anything worth selling? It will all be worth it when you finish...............finally

hypno06

No, nothing that is worth selling, or at least nothing that is worth me making the effort to sell - others might have done so, but today it was all about getting stuff out of the house for good, and I have managed to do quite a bit of that, so that will be good enough for me for today!

Still a lot to do, but I've done enough for today.....won £10 on free b!ngo too, so *bonus*

We had a decluter day as well our garage is a garage again sons stuff has been reduced from the size of the full garage up to the rafters which had between it and our down stairs the entire contents of a three bedroom house to less half a dozen carboot boxes I have an uplift tomorrow but have found when I got up that half the stuff has been acquired by freegans which I think is utterly fantastic hopefully by the te the council come
to actually do the uplift there won't be anything to actually uplift.... And it feels good

True. No omlette was ever made without eggs being broken. Keep in there, vampire debt slayer!

Those reusable bags with dire logos........couldn't you turn them inside out ?

Of course the truely crafty would turn them inside out stick odd and sods on them for decoration and then flog them at a boot sale or on ebay as one of a kind designer bags I suppose

Off to bed but before I go I'm finding ten things to throw out
