Large carrier bag of baby clothes to my sister's house
Small selection of baby rattles and suchlike to my sister's house
Carrier bag of junk from toy boxes into the bin
File full of paperwork shredded and thrown away
PENDING
Two binbags of mine and DS2's clothing for charity shop
2 carrier bags of coathangers for charity shop
Carrier bag of girl's clothing that will hopefully be colllected by Freecycler tonight
Fibre optic Christmas tree to be collected tomorrow by Freecycler
Three more files of paperwork to shred (should be fun!)
My wardrobe, DD's wardrobe and DS2's wardrobe are now completely organised and clutterfree. DS2's toyboxes are now organised and his new toys have all fitted in very well.0 -
This evening I have sorted another pile of papers - the majority was just rubbish, and a small amount of shredding.....why I have let the paperwork mountain get so huge is beyond me, really, as most of it could be thrown away immediately
I am now going to declutter my address book - I received a new one last Christmas, and never did anything with it.....so this evening I will transfer all current addresses, then the old book can be shredded and it is another thing gone.
While I am doing that, I will declutter a G&T too.......:DSuccessful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
We had a party last night - and I collected 2 carrier bags of odd items from various surfaces before the guests arrived! Today I rescued those two bags and sorted everything properly, putting things away on their proper places - and throwing out all the rubbish (probably equivalent to one bagful! Feel pleased as previously those two bags might just have stayed wherever I'd stashed them for months! Tiny steps....
Happy New Year, by the way!Resolution:

Don't think I'm getting the hang of this, trouble being that I'm far better at slinging things out when the OH's not here to pick over exactly what's going and make me keep 75% of it!
In;

Out;
-the baby! My sister has got her for the weekendI have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.0
