    Right then, thanks for the support guys. I'm going to get rid of 50 things this weekend. There I've said it, so I gotta do it!

    1. 'So' bodyspray, used up (recycling)

    49 items to go.
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    Honestly, once these items which are pending on eBid are either sold or given to charity, I'll have disposed of half my worldly possessions. Scary but cathartic. :D

  • Would anyone mind if I joined in? My flying isn't going to well so I'm hoping decluttering will make me fly as I fling:D

    Will try for 25 things this weekend;)

    Welcome ltl! it certainly helps with the flying if you can keep the clutter under control. My house still isnt sorted but hey its work in progress. and by this weekend another 50 things will be gone, gone, gone!
    also reminds you what you've got, so for me lots of foodie bits in the cupboard and lovely indian sauces/dishes set that I bought. Yay!

    A big thank you to Cleosmum for alerting me to the fact that you can use a couple of coupons through the Tesco self-scan tills before it asks the Cashier to confirm. I did this successfully today and managed to use a £1 and a 50p coupon even though I didn't buy the goods! I was well chuffed.

    I'm not doing so well on the decluttering front at the moment apart from the usual recycling - lack of time really. Maybe this week...
