Hey kezlou, you've been really busy too! And so worth it.
Am moving furniture around today (as you do). Tis a small house so am trying to arrange things in the best way possible. Also believe it or not that even though got rid of about 900 things I cannot see a real difference yet! Even though furniture and all sorts have gone. I guess a lot of bits were squeezed into cupboards too. So back to the decluttering as part of this:
Day 7 continued
63. 64. Magazines (recycled)
Right I'm off to clear the PC desk, wish me luck! :eek:Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

Afternoon - just popped in to say that I've decluttered some old wedding magazines from before ours. Out they went in to the recycling bin. Still trying to use up toiletries, and a few of those have gone as and when they've been finished. I've also sorted out three books to go to a charity shop on Monday. Not bad going - I can see a shelf becoming clear in the office bookshelf.

Sadly my next problem will be the fact that it's not going to fit in the available storage.:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -

I cannot tell you how pleased I am with moving the PC and stuff. It allows a table and chairs from storage to be put where they should be.
