The Great Declutter Part 2

Ha ha I meant to say decluttering. But I think the orginal post was correct.Proud to be dealing with my debts:jEver the optomist0

Binned one tin of paint that I was keeping as there was a little bit left. I threw it as I decided it would be dried up before I got round to using it. Also threw 2 test pots. Note to self, in future if I have test pots that I don't like freecycle them whilst they are fresh and of some use to other folk.
Here's a bit of clutter prevention. I do online banking and have finally got round to pressing the button to stop paper statements. The blurb online said I could still request any I needed free of charge - so less paper, less clutter, hopefully a winner. Where is the button to stop dust?
Bye bye from a silly Empty who is begining to feel happier, tomorrow it is March and the days are getting longer.:j0 -
Woke up with a bee in my bonnet today and have cleared half my wardrobe and cupboards out and have a huge pile of clothes to ebay now, then cleared the out of date medicines out of the bathroom cabinet and cleaned out one of the kitchen food cupboards. (day off tomorrow and will finish the kitchen and start the ebay)
Cleaned the fridge and freezer out on friday and chucked some 'too out of date to save' food out.
Pleased with myself :T Hope everyone else had productive weekends.0 -
