Hi All
Haven't been posting regularly, mainly due to my health - which is pretty up and down at the moment. Haven't been keeping track of my "IN" s as well as I might, but from what I can remember it's been fairly restrained. Most "IN"s have been vitamins & food & I don't log consumables as they're not something I tend to stock-pile. I think I just might have conquered my addiction to Charity Shops. (touch wood) I still go in them but I'm now capable of leaving them without buying anything . I can attribute that particular breakthrough entirely to this forum - so thanks very much. :T
It's nice to feel well for a change - I've moved stuff around in the kitchen / dining room & it looks a lot more spacious. Plus - I finally ventured into the loft today - it's pretty overwhelming - I really need to do a bootsale to make some headway - as it's quite hard to move around up there. At least I've made a start now.
Since my last post:

did a major declutter of the bathroom yesterday - many plastic bottles went out with the recycling this morning.
Have started to cull OH's magazine store - model aircraft, computer,astronomy and cricket....with odd ones for rock music and American wrestling.
Most of these magazines are stored in bags/boxes and hadn't been looked at for years!
This will be the year I dump the clutter!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Its magazines that are the killer for me too - I've got rid of hundreds in the last year, and there's still two shelves full of them..... as you say, more culling is in order - they're a bit wild round here, tho, they keep running away2023: the year I get to buy a car0
