The Great Declutter Part 2

Aquamarina

Weekend decluttering resulted in:

Out:

Last of the uni notes at last! (recycle bin)
Rucksack (Freegle)
Large cardboard box from bike (recycled)
0.5 bin bag of rusty, dusty and musty A4 lever arch files (tip)

I'll venture up into the loft again later and see what pleasures await...

I am looking to move house in the next year or so by looking on the homeswapper website.


So ... I have decided to start decluttering as if I were getting ready to move house soon. :eek: This will be a mammoth task as I have 13 years' worth of clutter in this house - my hobbies include knitting, cross-stitching, gardening, my chickens and my dogs, plus a bike and hundreds of books - so you can imagine all the paraphernalia (sp?) that goes with all that!

I may need a hefty kick up the bum to keep me going. Please!

Thats almost me! I don't have any animals any more, and I've lived here 12 years not 13, but apart from that, yep! Identical twins! Its taken forever, and even now that I have a pretty firm moving date, there are still some big items I need to shift - a cross trainer, lots of CD holders that were a bad buy for collecting dust, a garden shredder (leaving stuff out in the rain for a couple of years seems to do almost as well ), all sorts of things.

Best of luck, smileyt - keep coming back and telling us how you're getting on. I wish I'd numbered things, the way greent and mineallmine (and a couple of others???) do on here - I'd be up in the 1000s by now
