The Great Declutter Part 2
Comments
-
IN
Bag of Pokemon Cards
Toy Cat - both for DS & both from charity shop when I dropped stuff off -DS insisted - who am I to argue?
OUT
3 Vases
3 Bowls
2 X Annuals
Bag of Pens all to CS
2 rotten old shelves from Garden to bin (the end of the garden is in sight)
Pending out
About 40-50 brand new Mother's Day Cards. I'm torn between trying to sell them on Ebay or just giving them to the CS - I'll sleep on it.
Went up in the loft today - it was horrible :eek: - It was a struggle to even get in there. I managed to find the things I was looking for but I'm daunted by what a monumental task it will be to declutter it. I had a peak in the shed a few days ago & its similarly crammed full. I think I'll need to wait until Spring to attempt those two.Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.

Where does the time go? :think:0 -
Been keeping on top of junk mail and newspapers. Also glass and plastics. Not much real decluttering done this week. Missed out on the free ebay listing too. But have used up some toiletries and recycled packaging where possible. Will try to do better next week cos I am away this weekend - don't know where cos its a surprise for my birthday. I think I might try the X items in X days plan. Will decide what figures over the weekend.
Have a good weekend everyoneSealed Pot Challenge 2013 Member No 689 - £120/£300
