Been away and also basically feeling ..what the hell!!
but back now and in declutter mode again!!

Reading this thread does inspire me!

So the declutter story for yesterday & today is..

1 x FULL wine box to son...:(
6 x bottles/jars to recycling
Compostable things out
loads of paperwork from the side of the computer ..actioned/shredded!
Newspapers & junk mail ... to recycling
Contents of piggy bank to grandaughters:D
3 bin bags of grass cuttings into Council composting bin.
8 assorted coat hangers
Receipts and asorted garbage from handbag
2 lever arch files returned to work
remains of a bottle of essential oil re-distributed onto pot pourri - bottle to recycling!

Think I'm up to 33 of my 100

Note to self... MUST TRY HARDER!

I was going to say half a 19 litre Really Useful Box but thought it might need more explanation!

Had planned on a day out in London with DP today, but I had an upset stomach last night and didn't feel up to going out this morning, so we stayed home and will now go on Friday instead, but I did manage to complete the 100 in 10 days challenge.

96 - Bubble bath used up as shower gel - bottle recycled
97 - Cardboard packaging from 2 cereal boxes - recycled
98 - Face cream sample finished - sachet binned
99 - 3 remote controls for items we don't own anymore - charity
100 - Odd sheet and pillowcase - charity

Also sorted out 3 carrier bags of paperwork, all now shredded/recycled, put 5 books into charity box, and sewed some socks from my sewing bag and put them in the bedroom where they belong.

Thanks Oceanspirit and MsHalffull - am really pleased I hit that target. Had a couple of things collected today so it was good to see the back of them. I am still taking a little rest as it's quite intense going plus I had load of other stuff to catch up with today. But I will be back with another clear 100 things in 10 days. As finally it is just starting to make a difference!

Congratulations Sue14 on reaching your target, yay you!
