Since yesterday when I posted:

Out:
Tin foil
skirt that didn't fit - swapped for another size
Pile of music we'd printed for our music group before Christmas
rubbish bin was emptied, wasn't very full but thought it might as well go out as I'd remembered!

Clothes I tried but the bank was full so back in the boot for next time

In:
few bits of post - most bits recycled/shredded
some bits for me from a lady in said group - need to sort them at some point

pending:
have read 4 old magazines today which are now in recycling - need to get better at doing this!

Hi Everyone I joined the thread on 8th January and I have made a start decluttering....

In
New school bag for son replacing one being thrown out


Out
6 text books that I used when I was at college 27 years ago
Grey hat and glove set daughter grown out of
Blue hat and glove set son grown out of
2 x broken torches
2 pairs of trousers that have been sitting on husbands locker for months (they don't fit him any more.
Numerous pieces of paper have been shredded, put in recycling and filed in their proper place
Old school bag for son (which was broken)

I have put a whole lot of paperwork on hte dining room table the plan being that I will sort it out

I am also trying to deal with post as it comes in every day rather than piling it ujp in a corner

Aim we live in a bungalow and you have to walk past our bedroom. It would be good to be able to leave the door open knowing that all people would see was the furniture that was in there rather than all the other rubbish. Also to be able to get into darwers/cupborads without having to movr stuff from in front of them would be so refreshing

I keep trying to get my son to tidy his bedroom everday "Do as I say not as I do" explaining that if he does so he won't end up with pilexs of clutter every where?

Morning all - I usually plan my day at breakfast - lap top on kitchen table. So here is todays plan ... deal with the kitchen paper pile hotspot (thanks Mrs F for your useful list of housework terms!), take old hi-fi unit to the charity depot, put all the washing away (love the term floordrobe!) and fill my daily bin bag. "A bin bag a day keeps the c**p at bay". And give away a box of biscuits to a neighbour.
Bon courage fellow declutterers.

In bag of fruit and veg. 2 storage boxes for food mixer attachments to store in, in cupboard rather than in a carrier bag on the kitchen floor.4 eggs from hens.

Good Morning everyone. Half day from shop this afternoon so hope to get something done later.

I hope you get some good tips from the 'Life Laundry' book Spendaholic Chick. I seem to remember it was a good programme when it was on tv a few years ago.
Had to have a little laugh though as when I decluttered the books I threw out 2 or 3 books like this one that had remaineed unread, had never sorted out my clutter problems & had eneded up as clutter themselves!

Have a good day. Remember, the charity shops need us.

Morning all

Been so busy at work havn't posted here for a week - but I have managed some decluttering.

2 cases unpacked all contents sorted & a nice bonus - £80 of assorted gift vouchers (presents from Christmas 2008!!!)

3 bags of girls "craft bits" condensed down to 1/2 bag

bookcase moved & 4 boxes of CDs & DVDs unpacked from storage & put away

1 kitchen cupboard cleaned & sorted

2 boxes of kitchen/bathroom/doors/bricks etc brochures recycled (now build in 90% done what have I kept them for?)

I still need to find shredder as I now have nearly a big bag full waiting to be shredded - will give this job to DH when shredder is found

Thats it for now - enjoy your day

Morning all ….

In; Bits of food and post.

Last night I sorted out two draws in the kitchen whilst cooking dinner, unfortunately I didn’t manage my normal 1 hour per week night de-clutter. However, some carp did leave the house, I also found £30 M&S vouchers, £10 garden centre voucher and a £5 note in these draws so all in all a successful draw de clutter!! :D

Out;
Dried up biros, plastic cutlery, random bits of plastic tat, lid off a jam jar, pastry brush, old takeaway menus – bin / recycled and a ‘Butler’ wine bottle cover into pending charity bag.
