    Random question though- we have a 2 seater and 3 seater settee in there, very good condition- any idea how best to get rid. Not sure how it works exactly, as it doesn't have a fireproof certificate. Any ideas? It is too good to throw away really. Thanks :)

    Hi M2008, sounds like you have been busy. ref the sofa sadly its RIP SETTEE. It used to be the fumes that could kill so sadly a call to local council to take away. sorry. :A

    Update: I got to 23 items and my energy is fading fast so will call that a mini triumph. Hope everyone else is doing well.

    Me neither!!! :o

    However, I am determined to get rid of 25 items now that I said on-line that I would.... it may just take me a few days longer though. :)

    Well done to all those who did have a good de-clutter over the weekend :T

    • Nothing...
    Went back to work today and have come home with a huge headache (again). I'm beginning to think it's work-related as well as neighbour-induced. I sold 2 things on ebay yesterday, one paid for so will post that tomorrow. Hopefully the other one will be paid for very soon.

    Hi all,

    Wow lots of decluttering. :j My freecycle bits were picked up, the charity bags are in the car, as are the food bags for my friend.

    Hugs to purplevamp, it can be so hard living where you just do not want to be. Even more good reason to declutter to prepare for a new life.:A

    So today is Tuesday, who is up for getting rid of 20 things by the end of this week /Friday, so that is about 5 things a day?
