    Day 7
    54. to 62.
    More to come. :T

    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
    :cool2: Cherryprint: "More stuff = more stuff to tidy up!"
    Less things. Less stuff. More life.

    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.

    i have decluttered most of the ironing mountain! And it dates back a long way.......

    Sadly my next problem will be the fact that it's not going to fit in the available storage.

    In

    Three books, a tablecloth and a scarf from car boot sale

    Out

    Old lipstick binned
    Book with missing pages recycled

    Will spend a minimum of 30 minutes decluttering in the spare room tomorrow - this is the room that most needs clearing out and has had the least attention so far!

    Part 1 of plan success, moving the PC and its gumf to a spare room.

    67. Fabric freshener spray, used up on carpet (recycling)

    Phew so that's another 10 things out the way. Need to be up to 80 to stay on track for my target.

    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.
