The Great Declutter Part 2

Janebo12

Right, feeling motivated again now, so have made a start.

IN: new mattress for my bed (hoping for a good sleep tonight with no backache!)
DD2 early from playgroup - had to pick her up as she was poorly :sad:
post for DH
Bag of boys clothes from neighbour - the ones that will fit have got into washing machine and the others are stored in the bag in his wardrobe for when he gets bigger.

OUT:
old lumpy mattress - taken by nice men who brought the new one
XBox 360 drum console to freegler - came round very quickly for me!
Broken picture frame
bits of old cards, drawings, photos etc, general rubbish

SORTED:
lots of photos put into an album

PENDING (hopefully):
old sewing table listed on freegle
6 Ebay items - only 1 selling at the mo

We have had some work done in the bedroom to make everything right after some building work a while ago, so I will start to strip the wallpaper soon. Have told DH he's got to get rid of some of his hoard (he has about 10 storage boxes under the bed!).

Off to sort some more stuff out...

Doesn’t look too good today does it, more in than out! But tomorrow I’m not going out and have the whole day to do housework, yay! :eek:

If I'm feeling brave I may take some before and after snaps ~ that should motivate me.

Essexgal ~ hope your DD gets better soon :A

I've had a day off work, so have reorganised my bedside table drawers as well as doing some decluttering.

In

'Badger' balm for sore muscles
Soft grip pegs (hoping they won't leave peg marks on clothes - has been raining today, so couldn't test them)

Out

Two bags of stuff taken to charity shop this morning
Magazine given to Mum
Five brochures into recycling
Pedometer that reckoned we had walked over 5000 steps after only being out for 30 minutes - it was free, but I would have thought it would be a little better than that!

Pending Out

Old telephone
Various bits of costume jewellery into charity bag

Another bag of 'stuff' to the charity shop this week & getting used to the buy it/read it/ return it cycle of charity shop book (local library was closed with about 2 minutes notice over the New Year :mad:)

I have started making a 'string' quilt with all my fabric scraps http://loftcreations.blogspot.com/2010/01/while-abby-sleeps.html
It's a brilliantly efficient way of using up the scraps, getting the most out of the smallest bits plus it creates a lot of space
