Greent, just looking at your sig and how much of the mortgage you've paid off in such a short time - thats brilliant!

Well - the great god of 'get-off-the-sofa-and-do-some-decluttering-now' has just landed in our house! The ancient hot water tank and back boiler system has been declared extinct :j and a new combi boiler needs installed.

- Radiator thermostats installed - every room
- Gas fire/back boiler removed - living room
- Combi boiler installed - bed room :mad: but will be put in a wooden cupboard in the alcove (can't go on front of building so positioned on back)
- Gas pipes from kitchen to bedroom -kitchen, hall and bedroom

So how's that for an incentive to clear out the rubbish? :j Will need a massive amount of effort, will create a massive amount of work but I'm just so pleased that it's being done. :beer:

So it's :j for new stuff :j for the decluttering to come and :eek: thinking about the work ahead!

Phew up to 121 stuff got rid of in June, still on target to get rid of 150 things, only 45 binned, everything else to charity/friends etc.

You know finally things are beginning to clear. There is still a way to go. I just want less stuff hanging around, me having to move it around when I have the energy to clean...:rotfl:

122. Toiletries used up as part of toiletry challenge, packaging sadly not recyclable (bin)
123. DVD game (charity)
124. Mail order packaging (bin)
125. Trousers (charity)

Total for June so far = 125 things decluttered, 47 binned, rest of stuff to charity/friends/recycling.

Just looking at the task ahead makes me want to faint. My current thoughts are that I need to cull everything with dust on/not been touched for 2 years/not remembered I had it. Drastic measures - do I have the emotional strength? Blooming hope so.

The only books left are my childhood ones (see what I mean about emotional strength). Think I may have to sneak them back to my mother's house and hid them in her clutter!:rotfl::rotfl: Funny thing is that I spent years building up my own home from items donated by my mother and now the trend is the other way. She's got my last 2 cars, my old PC and a couple of radios!

Right - off to gather my strength.

It's good to read how well others are doing so many thanks.

I have a lot more books than that! And I *really* wish my mother would take some of my stuff - whats actually happened is that I've inspired her to declutter, and she's found a couple of big envelopes of letters I wrote, and given them to me!
