DID IT :j:j:j:j:j

Greent - The stuff from my cupboards was well OOD & the sauces had gone a funny colour. Freezer hasn't been done since we moved here nearly 2 years ago - If I couldnt tell what it was it got binned!
Just took most of the day to defrost it so will be keeping on top of this more!

Well done!!!! I have just got home so i will find my extra couple of things and then i can claim i have finished!!

Afternoon all... I must admit I'm finding it hard to find another 30 items but I guess that its because I'm not being ruthless enough!!! I am though determined that another 30 items will depart our home by Friday!!!

In: Bits of food and junk mail.

Out:
61. OOD Polenta (promise I won't throw out any more food)
62. Bins emptied in the house - waste & recycling bins collected tomorrow
63. Lavender candle set; charity bag
64. Cheque book; account now closed so book recycled
65. Card from friend to cheer me up when I lost my job - recycled
66. Another bag of shredded paper taken to the tip
67. Silk flowers; grotty so bin
68. Thermal top; charity
69. Thermal top; charity
70. Talc; virtually empty - recycling

Glad the house move went well Welsh Totster and its good to hear the de-cluttering has continued in your new home :T
Welcome louby_lou you've come to the right place if you want encouragement to declutter!

Have a good evening, I'm off to find my final 30 items! :rotfl:

Well, I've lost count and lost track on here of what I've decluttered this challenge so I'll list them again.

OUT:

1) Tons of craft stuff - given away on Freegle
2) Old plates and bowls. Offered on Freegle but no takers. Will break up and use in bottom of flower pots
3) Pub Quiz game we've never played
4) 3 bottles perfume oil for oil burners we don't have
5) A pretty gift box (I don’t have any use for it)
6) A naff pair of sunglasses
7) 2 wooden wall plaques
8) A painted wooden box
[FONT=&quot]9) Loads of diabetes tester strips and needles[/FONT]
10) Tea pot and milk jug
11) A load of floating candle things that I bought on Ideal World years ago and have never got around to using. Plus a big bag of the wax that goes with it.
12) I also sorted out some box files and the green basket contains all the shredding from that.
13) A black sack of hundreds of pieces of fabric that I don’t want any more, either because they’re too small to do anything with, or I don’t like the fabric. I’ve still got as much again in my stash! (Put on Freegle, it went within 10 minutes!)
14) The mug was one of 4 new ones we bought not long ago, but has a chip in it near the handle, so it catches on lips when being used. (Going with the other crockery/china that I got rid of).
15) Bottle of special baby milk for our grandson. It’s now out of date and he doesn’t have it any more. (Milk down sink, bottle recycling bag).
16) A pram/pushchair that we bought to take our grandson out in. In reality, whenever we take him out we're in the car and take his buggy, so I put this on Freegle and it was snapped up.
17) 3 more bottles of baby milk found lurking under the stairs

Today I managed to get a few hours in my craft room, just sitting downsizing stuff. I've sorted out postage stamps, ribbons, card, papers, stickers.... tons of stuff. I've got 3 boxes ready to go to a new home, courtesy of Freegle, and another box waiting for a friend to pick up.

Also got some clothes given to me by mum's next door neighbour, and a couple of games. So today's haul is:

18) 1 wooden mug tree from craft room
19) 1 box of postage stamps for crafting
20) 1 bag of ribbons excess to my needs
21)
22) 3 boxes of assorted craft stuff that I have downsized
23)
24) Bag of ladies' clothes from mum's next door neighbour - going to homeless shelter
25) Tapestry picture of owls. I rescued this from the tip last September as it was too nice to dump. I just haven't got around to putting it on Freegle until now!


I feel I've got somewhere today, at least I can see clear shelves.... (that's because everything's on the table!!!). But I'm getting there. Hubby is away Friday all day and night, coming home Saturday evening, so hopefully I'll get a good run at it. (If I don't spend the time sewing....)


So.... a quarter of the way through my 100 items - good-o, onwards and upwards...!

Not much, but once again - more out than in

Another 30 mins in the garden - half-filled a brown sack, put a couple of things by to take to the tip - some glass panels and 1/2 a skateboard. And a general tidy-up there.
a few cassette computer games
and a few boxes that other long-gone computer games came in
Some photos and greetings cards
