Can i join in this thread too please? I have so much to do and don't know where to begin, I like the idea of getting rid of 100 things, it would be nice to be a bit more organised. Have been reading your tips for the last couple of days and feel like am ready to begin.

19. Blouse and tee-shirt I don't ever wear + swimming costume

Hello :j

Not sure about setting any challenge for myself but my goodness i need to declutter!!
Have really really let it slip recently.I hate 'hot-spots',my worst one is the dinning room table everything just gets piled up there :mad:
First off i'll have to fight my way into the cupboard under the stairs and get that sorted so i can once again have storage space...not looking forward to that i can tell you!!

So....
1-Declutter and clean understairs cupboard.
2-Sort through and recycle magazines/letters etc
3-Organise bookshelf.I spy lots of paper poked into spaces for a home!!
4-Go through wardrobes and make a much needed trip to charity shop.
5-Sort through bathroom bottles etc use up/recycle
6-Look through kitchen cupboards and use up anything approaching its shelf-life.



Will post when i've made head way!! Eeeekkkk.....

HoneyBee, even going full time, thats a fortnight's worth! Give yourself a break! Tho I'm glad to read that other people stick bits of paper between the books in a bookcase ....:)
