    Well done - the whole of your clutter gone in one swoop! :rotfl: Hope the move goes smoothly for you.


    I've fallen off the wagon a bit lately, just haven't felt very motivated - the cold weather is not doing me any favours as it makes me just want to curl up with a hot drink and keep warm.

    Anyway. today's OUT is the recycle bin - hooray, it has not been emptied since before Christmas!

    Will try and do something a bit more constructive later after I've finished getting sidetracked on the MSE forums oops!:D

  • Only problem is Janebo.... the removals men have to stick it all back into the new house. Im glad Ive had a major decluttering over the last 6 - 12 months though as I know that nothing coming with us needs throwing out, its all good stuff!
  • Welsh Totster - Good luck with the move. Remember the kettle and mugs go in last and come out first;-).
    Hope things work out well for you inaminute.
    Keep up the good work everyone!
    Stay clutter-free
    No new stuff unless to replace broken items that are essential.
