IN:
new ironing board cover

92. old ironing board cover
93. pile of useless paperwork - recycled
94. weekend mags/ papers - recycled
95 & 96. ebay parcel x2
97. box of chocs from present stash to DH & my tum!
6 items left on ebay - 5 with bids (the other has 7 watchers, so I'm hopeful, but it ends at 2.30, which is a bit of a strange time..)
Providing they all pay, I should do the 100 in 10 days with a couple to spare - and without finding any more things in the house! (although I will continue to look!)
keep up the good work, fellow declutterers!!!

Hello everyone - oh how I need this thread can I join please - about a year ago we hired a massive skip and filled it and yet i am literally terrified to open any cupboard in the house. I have load of stuff that I need to get onto ebay (which will help with my 5K off my credit card plan) and a paperwork mountain that is threatening to take over the whole house!
Anyway taking the elephant one bite at a time here is my plan for this week
1.clear out the worst 2 cupboards and the worst drawer in the kitchen
2.sort out baby clothes now too small for DS2 and send to charity shop
3.collect all paperwork lying about the house opend sort/bin and put in spare room/office
here's to a productive weekCC debt Aug 2018 £50.2K
