    I am looking at a hotspot that I have been meaning to declutter for weeks now. Its nearly midnight on 01/01/2010, so have put it on my 'to do' board for tomorrow.

    Looking forward to getting rid of this eyesore (how sad am I? LOL)

    Hi Chums,
    OUT
    well I have got started and have a big black bin liner full of shredded stuff
    they will go to the tip tomorrow along with various old half empty paint tins that have dried up.
    IN absolutely nothing
    I'm on a roll this morning,even got the decorations down that I could reach. The ceiling ones will have to wait for DD to get down as I don't do standing on chairs with my wonky joints.Tree is stripped down and put away for next year
    Onwards and upwards chums I am actually beginning to enjoy myself I have a big pile of video cassettes to go in the bin as I don't even possess a video recorder anymore.That will give me a bit more room.The prerecorded ones can go to the charity shop

    Have gone through my toiletries and have gotten rid of the odds and sodds that I haven't used in 6 months, going to attack my make up next and then the upstairs (eeek)

    Going to buy some big plastic boxes to help me organise something so although it will be something else in it will hopefully help me know where everything is and I can assess what I have as it is going in. wish me luck

    In: deicer, tshirt for the small person who's growing again, groceries and some Mr T healthy living vouchers

    Out hopefully the bag of clothes left out for the freecycler

    Pending 1 CD, butter dish, book, pair of shoes and a pair of trousers added to the charity shop bag. Have also gone through all my CDs and picked out the ones I think are damaged. If we can sort them out we'll keep them- if not they'll be recycled and I'll reuse their cases.

    This covers from my last post until now. Right I did go out and get to the sales :o

    In: 6ft Xmas tree (well still technical outside as still in my car :rotfl:), 4 x Birthday pressies @75% :j all stored in my present hamper. 14 gift bags of various sizes and some more christmas cards and a reindeer door hanger he is so sweet. Some food. A xmas card posted on the 17th 1st class and just arrived :eek: Credit card bill :rolleyes:

    Out: Nothing yet.

    But I did clear out the cupboard I said and have a couple of items that I need donate. And when I came back last night at 9pm after leaving home at 4pm don't ask but I did not bring everything I bought back with me some of it I dropped off at my mums. I needed to put something in a drawer I tidied it up :D what is wrong with me :rotfl:

    Seems everyone else is going great guns. Just don't wear yourself out. Husband is even getting in on the act. He is now tidying up his office (back bedroom) that I have been asking him to do for the lasts 6 months. He is now shredding paper that he is has sorted out :j

    May report back later.

    Yours
