The Great Declutter Part 2

Purpleclutterbuck

Great idea Frugal ! a half hour chunk is far more practical for me to do as I seem to achieve a heck of a lot more than plodding around for an afternoon achieving a big fat mega zilch! our bathroom is half decorated ie loo and bath installed but washbasin ,flooring and rest of tiles are in the garden shed and loft!
I have stuff everywhere and am now scrabbling around for a kitchen timer and rubbish bag ready for "the annie song" anthem -on your marks get set go! Good game this!

Your posts have made me laugh as I imagine you flying round like a dervish!! On the other hand, you could be lying back on the sofa typing this with a cuppa and a box of chocs playing online bingo in between posts?? :rotfl:
damn - you got me!!! Quick update - cake is now in oven, kettle is on, and am searching ebay to get competitive prices for some stuff I have to sell. Am putting off doing the study until tomorrow - that's at least a day's work.

Although I’m not keeping a list of ins and outs, it’s still heading the right way. The only thing I’ve bought other than food is a new nightlight which is plugged in neatly and the packaging has been thrown away!

I have also finished the shredding for now (until I start on the attic) although that’s currently sitting in three black bags as I need to remove some compost from the bins before I have room for all the shreddings in there…

A positive from what I’ve done so far though – DH actually VOLUNTARILY tidied the living room at the weekend!!! :T Previously he would have ignored all the mess or shoved everything in the under stairs cupboard if someone turned up, but I guess because there wasn’t much out of place, he realised it was do-able.

The downside is that I thought I’d jump in with the flylady tasks this week in the living room as it is officially decluttered. I got a bit carried away though and decided to wash the light shades too - result, one smashed shade :eek: That will teach me to get ahead of myself.

Thanks as always for the support guys.

_pale__pale__pale_ OMG the study.............please don't remind me :eek:

OK 9am kick off then (on my only day that I don't have to get up early!!!)

Good incentive to crawl out of my bed and get going - got to have a huge clear out and sell stuff so I can move abroad! What I am keeping will go in the loft until my return in 2011!!!

Right much later than imagined but im back. Only have the ironing and the bench to do now which I will do this evening and tomorrow respectively.

I have to do loads of clothes sorting to get them on Big Wardrobe for swaps so will try and do that tomorrow

Thanks Mrs Moneypenny DD1 seems OK - she has been bouncing around all day and asking for food, so I think she will be OK - there's a bug going round at school and fortunately she seems to have had a quite mild version.

At least I got some ironing done!
