    Today 4 more boxes from the shed have been squashed and put in the recycling bin, a tin of hardened shoe polish has been binned and 2 more items have been dealt with and put in recycling from the paper mountain.

    Monthly totals: General 54, Paperwork Mountain 44

    So, a week into my challenge the overall total is 98 items however nothing more will happen until Sunday as I shall be busy with other things over the next few days.

    Not only is this challenge helping me to tidy up my home, it is also encouraging me to do a few things off my longstanding "to do" list so a double result!

    36. 37. 38. Toiletries, more tubes used up, surprising what you use up when you focus on it rather than keep opening something new! (recycling)

    More clutter gone from bedroom.
    Tally so far: 38 gone from house, 17 binned, everything else recycled
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    I've had a bit of a decluttering disaster: I went up into the loft to start to empty it before moving, and there's practically the equivalent contents of my house up there :( I'm absolutely horrorstruck. It feels like I've got to start all over again - even tho lots of it is useful in the new place - lounger cushion, insulation, etc. Hey ho :(

    Still I *have* got rid of:
    - 2 pieces furniture I was storing for a friend.
    - piece of wood.
    - 100s of polystyrene cups (recycling project)

    Lots to go to the recycling centre, difficult without a car, but it has to be done.

  • Hi, I've done about and hour and a half on the paperwork and got rid of loads (still a lot more to do though). Also have big bag of clothes and some books waiting for the charity collection.

    I did a mad dash around the house after this mornings school run and filled the empty wheelie bin.. the half full one got itself the carpet from the boys room folded and squished in... I am quite determined to empty the front garden of gibble!

    Up to:

    39. Toiletries (really boring that my decluttering is just this kinda stuff but shows how much I have:o), used up, packaging not recyclable (bin)

    Tally so far = 39 things decluttered, 18 sadly to bin, rest recycled/charity.

    Got rid of one more thing from the loft - gave a corner display unit, made of oak, to a friend, for a car boot sale.
