Another bootfull of stuff to the tip today. 5 sacks of rubble, 2 carriers of paper recycling and a multitude of cardboard boxes. Also some offcuts of plasterboard.

I haven't posted on here for ages, but need to have another sort out.

I had some new furniture delivered last week, the bedside chest is built, but i'll need help with the wardrobe as it is really big! I'm going into hospital later in June to have an operation on my foot/leg so will be out of action for quite a while. I'm hoping to get the wardrobe built before I go in as at the moment I have some bits dotted around my bedroom waiting for their new home (I will be going through these again before then to get rid of some more stuff) but I want it all out of the way as don't want to risk tripping over anything!

Anyway...

Out:
1) Packaging from bedside chest
2) The 'old' bedside chest has been collected this afternoon - sold for a fiver
3) Bottles and general stuff for recycling
4) Pair of shoes with knackered heels (that hurt, I love shoes!)
5) Salad leaves that I was attempting to grow...oops

6) Not really decluttering, but I broke a plate this evening putting it away I'm annoyed now as don't have a complete set

I shall carry on tomorrow!

Rattan End Table - Sold on Ebay

I've been thinking about selling the table for ages, it didn't fit anywhere in my house and was just cluttering up my study, but I but kept changing my mind because I had a real emotional attachment to it (wierd thing to be attached to ) A significant achievement to have finally let it go. :A

:hello: Hi everyone. I haven't been around much recently (well on this thread anyway ) as not much has gone out, and just the usual has come in.

I've sold a few bits on ebay and have been paid for 3 so they can go tomorrow. Still waiting for 3 more payments. I spent a good half an hour vacuuming up bean bag balls, which had burst all over the kids bedroom :mad:. I managed to rescue most of them and sewed the bean bag up.

Neighbours are behaving themselves at the moment, but my headaches are still here, so I think I'll have another trip to the doctors as I don't think it is entirely stress headaches.

I've got tomorrow and Thursday off so hoping to do some proper sorting and cleaning. We are seriously thinking of home swapping but I don't want anyone coming round when the place is a tip...and I'll also wait until the schools are back!

Morning all!

I've decided to aim for a de-clutter-in-June personal challenge. I'd like 10 items/ day - 300 over the month - but don't think I can do that - so will aim for 5 items/ day (although I am happy as long as I get to 150 for the month - it won't necessarily be 5/ day)
