Hi! Can I join too please?

Just found some old clothes in the back of the wardrobe that haven't seen the light of day for at least 10 years!

Managed to get my DVD's and CD's sorted out the other day tho- Got two CD cases from ebay (£15 cheaper than in the shop:rotfl:)- one for DVD's and one for CD's. My collection now takes up a fraction of the space! Now just to sort out the rest of my house!

IN - Nothing

OUT - 3 black bags of CD/DVD cases
- 1 black bag of old clothes for recycling

PENDING OUT - Half my wardrobe by the looks of it! :eek: Off to make a start!

OUT

...I've got a book detailing how to properly archive "stuff" - anything from paper to toys to wedding dresses to everything else in between. If any of you would like some help in properly storing those undeclutterable things then just PM me (or post here) and I'll see what me book says!

Claire, I've got a suggestion for those who have the time & technology: I've got a box of cards / tickets / leaflets etc from almost 7 years of me & DF, another of my mum & dad's sympathy cards & papers plus a plastic storage crate of stuff from when my kids were small (school photos, reports etc)....I was planning to scrapbook what I could until DF suggested making them into an electronic "scrapbook" by scanning them and storing the images in folders in date order, with a Word document detailing where / who / when / why etc.

Methinks I may come to regret that conversation, but at least it will keep me busy when he's away with work!

I've also GOT to sort my wardrobe out properly, declutter my collection of boots, and make proper storage for my collection of costume jewellery, before starting to rationalise my habit of stuffing things under the spare bed!!

Hi everyone,

My flat isn't too bad at the moment, but I was inspired by this thread to see what I could get rid of - turns out to be a lot more than I expected!


IN

• nothing

OUT

• various books and games to charity shop
• lots of random junk that has never been used

PENDING OUT

• electric guitar that has been sitting in the cupboard unplayed for years, posted on gumtree
• old textbooks on ebay

Still to do my clothes, though as I'm a poor student I won't have very many to get rid of!

p.s. I left a pile of textbooks belonging to my girlfriend for her to sort out - all barone ended up back on the shelf despite me having never seen her use any of them. :rolleyes:

What an inspiring thread. I flirted with the idea of tidying up last year but as we have now been in this house for 16 months and STILL haven't unpacked everything, its time to get serious.

In:

Post's just dropped on the door mat.

Out:

3 things listed on ebay (1 with a bid, 2 with watchers).

Hi everyone

In today; Tesco shop - very OS, lots of oats and tinned tomatoes ready to do a load of batch cooking and baking, great stuff.

Out; nothing really, bin got emptied but sadly wasn't the recycling bin, so we still have a huge pile of wrapping paper, boxes etc blocking the back door from Christmas! this is why we need a car...

In:
Nothying but groceries

Out:
6 Bags ( yup 6!)
of clothes and jewellery and odds and ends, duly taken straight away to the charity shop instead of dilly dallying and then allowing it to creep back into rooms..
Man I feel good!!!
