That's a great idea.... I might join you in that. I keep saying I'll do 100 things in 10 days, but most days I'm not that enthused about decluttering. Once I start I like to have a good old clear out, not keep stopping and starting, so I'll join you on this one. I'm going to dedicate a day over Easter to do it.

Hia loopychriss, hope you're well. I like the idea of doing it over Easter too. Doesn't have to be all day thing, we could get up at the crack of dawn and start! So clear 25 things in 1 day, Easter Friday? Saturday? Sunday? Monday? Loft is full of loads of stuff, so there's still lots to clear.

In:
house stuff from freecycle (yay) (saving me £60, double yay)

Out:
craft bits to freecycle (yay)

Tasks for tonight:
- find/sort/wash old bedding to put on freecycle (have far too much)
- check which library books need to be returned

Done a load of washing so the washing pile is seriously diminished.

Threw out: 1 shirt and 1 pair of pants.
Finished a shampoo bottle.

Pending out: 1 bag of rubbish and 1 box of rubbish; going to bin them tomorrow when I go out to our mailbox.

I am also working my way through my wardrobe again, replacing winter items with summer ones and preparing to try on and dispose of items which no longer fit/I don't wear. This is tomorrow's primary task.

Pending

Done!

Morning All - I am in for the 25 things in a day (How about 25 things in 25 hours?) at some stage over the Easter BH? Having said that I am stuck at 75 in my 100 things challenge at the mo so will have to get that done before Friday ... OK Rain rain rain is good for that.
I have really tried with the kitchen eliminating hots spots and leaving nice when ever i finish a meal prepn. or at bed time. Its so nice to come down to!
Does anyone have any experience of getting ££ for old european currancy? I have quite a collection of D marks and F Francs and some other bits ... and I would really like to change them to ££ and add them to the campervan fund (which btw OH says we really can have in Spring 2012 - he just wasnt talking about it because a) we had decided and b) there's no point in discussing it now since prices, specs etc will have changed by then. Grrrr why doesnt he like to TALK about stuff)
Just off to run the dogs through the woods then back to finish my 100 before Friday.

Off work again today with cough and cold so DD taken large bin of glass to recycling centre, two big bags of 'stuff' to CS and another bag of carp to tip. Thank goodness she can drive now!

Gradually clearing log pile from garage so that's looking much better (still can't get the car in)!

Found sleeping bag in the loft and smelled a bit musty. Tried to wash it but think it was a bit big for the machine. DD has taken that to the launderette for a wash - too good to put out and DSs will use it.

Keep going all - been told the cats are going back to rightful owner tomorrow!
