Comments

Sorry, I've not yet read the thread.
Nut I am in. It's mainly my DH who's the hoarder but I've managed to get a bit of his stuff to the loft...I am working on actually getting rid.
But we do have a lot of useless stuff.
Goodness knows where I am starting...well I do know where I'm starting...with a lost which I'll make today!

Started my decluttering yesterday, got ds1 to sort his comics out. Wouldn't part with his old birthday cards but was quick to say i could have his home work books we do sometimes! All going in roof for now as i have lots up there to sort out for ebay/charity shop.
Also built his new bookcase and new washing machine arrived so the old items are outside waiting to be tipped.
Today all i have done is find a drawer under the bed to keep nappies, wipes etc as usually it hangs off the door in a nappy bag. Not really decluttering but one bag less hanging around being untidy! Can't do anymore today, family for dinner and the 3 boys are driving me nuts lol. Happy New Year!grocery challenge jan 17 £ / 350.000 -
