Well done, that's a great start - just got to keep it up now!

I helped out at a jumble sale/boot fair at the weekend and for once I brought home less than I took! I've not listed my 'INS' and 'OUTS' for a few days, so these are what I can remember:

IN:
3 DVDs to sell on Music Magpie
1 soft toy for charity tombola in the summer
Sack of clothes from my mum (for homeless shelter)
Bread pudding from mum
4 free sample tubes of toothpaste from dentist (I got 2, hubby got 2)
Book from charity shop
Weekly shopping
Seeds
New credit card for me
Sack of potatoes
Junk mail
3 holiday brochures
1 cheque from daughter for money she owed us

OUT:
Normal rubbish collection
5 Ebay parcels containing craft stuff
Junk mail

The house is still a mess so I need to do some serious decluttering next week. Trying to do some sewing too, so been concentrating on that.. There's just not enough hours in the day!

In

Pilates DVD (haven't been able to go running as injured myself, so trying to ease back into exercise with some home workouts)

Out

Two bags taken to charity shop yesterday

Feeling a bit poorly today, so have given myself the day off from decluttering. Will hopefully be able to manage something tomorrow.

I haven't de cluttered much this week as I have concentrated on finishing the decorating in the kitchen. It is done apart from the outside door and that needs replacing so really the job is finished!! :j I will sort out a new door soon I promise.

Tomorrow I am hoping to move OH and my bits and pieces into the girls bedroom so we can use that for a while and I'll get our bedroom decorated. I expect to unearth and get rid of clutter whilst this is going on. :rotfl:

Keep up the good work everyone, we are certainly motivating each other. :T

Not much in or out today-
In - post and newspaper, mostly now in the recycling, except the White Stuff catalogue

Out - bedroom and bathroom bins into outside bin, and added a coat hanger, a bottle of Body Shop 'dry oil mist' which I've never really like but couldn't bring myself to chuck...done it now...so I could list it on here!

Pending - Bottle of wine and a big box of chocs - not really clutter!- we're going to a friend for dinner, so will be taking them.
A few books, maybe Ebayor Amazon and if not worth it, CS
2 more magazines into the 'pending out' box

Hopefully will have more to report tomorrow

Hi Empty, do you remember that programme called the Life Laundry? It was only when people had all their stuff out of the cluttered rooms could they truly see what they've got. Hope you declutter lots! :A
