Janebo12 ~ not again! (I think it was you last time who hurt their foot??)Your poor foot! :eek::rotfl:Well done on getting so much done though. Just hurt foot the one time - still suffering from internal bruising, but swelling has gone down - I really did not like having to rest up - not me at all!!


CEX is a shop that buys/sells games/cds/dvd, etc. Either that or it's what dyslexic people get up to in their spare time

:rotfl::rotfl:nearly spat my cup of tea out when I read that - thanks for giving me a good laugh!

I've not done much yet today as I have been volunteering at DD2's playgroup - must get something done later..

IN: post

PENDING IN: replacement lid for my Brabantia bin - I've discovered that they have a 10 year guarantee and mine was broken (have saved £40 :eek: on not having to buy a new lid )

OUT: nothing yet...

Brown garden bin emptied this Friday.

Hi Everyone and welcome newbies - "even" one drawer sorted is better than one drawer not sorted, overflowing and annoying you, so well done! Ive been away for a few days with DS and DDIL - we are all at the same decluttering lark and quite a few items are being passed from one house to the other then on to my DS's MIL ... its a kind of perpetual cycle recycle which only ends when someone can think of a home for the things out of the loop! We are getting a bit better (DDIL is great 'cos she has so little storage in her house she has to be ruthless) So thats good for me. I just got sidetracked by photos this afternoon - was looking for something and came across them - including a pack of prints from my (now divorced) DDs wedding. I know I should just have binned them but I couldnt even bear to look through them. Help required!

IN: New clothes for DD - she's growing so fast!! 3 x leggings, 4 x t-shirts, pants and socks all from Mr T and 2 long sleeve tops from charity shop, pants for DS from Mr T

OUT: To charity shop: pair of curtains, socks, short PJs set, 4 long sleeve tops, 3 toys, skirt and a few other things I can't remember!!! All in all a great big bin bag full.

I've spent all day sorting the cupboard in my bedroom (aka 'the cupboard of doom' lol!), and have actually got rid of a lot of the crap in there this time! I don't know how many items, but there were 4 boxes to go to the charity shop (in the shed until DP can take them on Saturday), 1 box to Freecycle and 1 box for E-bay. Got rid of a few cardboard boxes, which are in the garden to be taken to recycling centre on Saturday, and some more paper to go to paper recycling. Also got 2 bags of books to take in to work for the charity book sale, and got rid of 2 bags, so far, of old greetings cards. Still a few more things to sort through, but I ran out of time and energy, so will hopefully carry on tomorrow.

Only things in today were a bill, and a CD single, which I bought on E-bay a few days ago.

Hugs
Sue.

Right, another tough target for paving the way for a decluttered house. Less stuff means less cleaning and less buying duplicates, plus enjoying what I've got. :A

So 50 things to go today:
1. pc bits (freecycle)
2. pretty sweet tin (charity)
3. t shirt (charity)
4. novel (charity)
5.6.7. library books to return (library)... mmm although some may be coming back...
8. t bag box, t bags now sitting in their tin (recycled)
9. bits of rubbish (bin)
10. bits of recycling (recycled)

Phew, 10 down.

11.12. Books (charity)
13. Easter raffle prize (charity)
14. CD (charity)
15. body lotion (charity)
16.17. old tins (charity)
18. sachet of face scrub used and packaging not recyclable so sadly..(bin)
19. library book, another one to return (library)

So that's 19/50 achieved. Not bad. Gonna have a quick hunt around for more stuff thats in the way.

Well done Sue and warm welcome to the thread! :beer: I think the process of decluttering reminds you of what you've got, so helping to curb the unnecessary stuff coming in - at least thats the plan.

Hi to any lurkers out there too. :A

Hello, i'm a lurker. Just a quick note to say well done everyone - you all seem to be doing really well and I find it a very heartening :j

In

• Post (sorted & recycled)
• Strawberry crunchy crunchy, grapes, cucumber ~ Aldi
• Biccies, shower gel ~ 99p store

Out

• Batteries ~ Aldi recycling box

Done

• 14 items on ebay

And that is all I've done today! DH cooked dinner ~ Wednesday is curry night which is his thing! I did cook the kids dinner when I came home from work and did some washing up so not a totally lazy day



Forgot to add:-




Out

• Whoopie cushion ~ lost it's whoop :rotfl:(bin). The kids had been jumping on it loads and split it's side, after that the best it could muster up was a faint "pfft"!

Not done so well today....
In: Glass dish with lid (£3.75 charity shop) and 6 solid silver napkin rings- matching (£1.50- I KNOW!) from the same charity shop. So overcome by this that I've not got rid of anything yet!
Pending: Bin day tomorrow, 2 black sacks.
2 rubble bags in hallway to go to tip when there's a car full. The tip is taking aaaaaaaaages to get into now that it has new people running it so I won't go down unless there's an entire car full. There will be loads to go, each day I'm ripping 1 rubble sack from my bedroom walls so they can be replaced!
