I'm joining in too. Started yesterday with the spare bedroom which was unusable as a bedroom because it was full to brimming with junk, so
OUT- went 4 bags of assorted charity shop stuff (clothes, toys, books, small electrical items), 6 bags of complete rubbish, some to the tip, some to recycling (cardboard and paper)
IN - went the vacuum (temporarily) lol.
Today I'm going to attack the contents of several carrier bags full of paperwork that needs sorting/filing/recycling.
I never used to be a hoarder, don't know how I became one, but I'm going to stop being one (I hope)I like to live in cloud cuckoo land :hello:0 -

I'd like to join in please :j I'm intending to attack one drawer, or cupboard, or shelf each week. It'll probably take most of the year, but will declutter lots :j I'm starting with a list of places (as I won't get any actual decluttering done until I have the house to myself next week
)

Four lots ending on ebay tonight.
I'm going to try to recycle some packaging when I wrap my ebay parcels so that will be some more clutter gone. I'm thinking of selling books on Green Metropolis so I need to look into that really.
Still thinking about tackling the Cupboard of Doom. :eek:That money talks - I can't deny,
I heard it once - it said 'goodbye'!

Only a bit of an online declutter today, made some additions and subtractions to the blog's sidebar and started clearing through old saved emails.
We were up at 6am, our dog was having a stroke so been keeping near to her today. She's doing remarkably well as she is nearly 16, but didn't want to stray to far from her sideMay not get to proper decluttering until next week depending on how she does.

Not a thing! I agree MissKay, being snowed in does have some advantages!
OUT
Large black bag of junk, 3 old pillows, an old pair of trainers, some icky old hair gel and some plastic packaging from christmas presents.
