Have to say I'm surprised how quickly these are adding up. I'm focusing back on the bedroom today and it's still work in progress.:o

Thanks Callisto - I have the bit between my teeth. I've cleared some space in the bedroom so it is making a difference. Carry on karmacat, you're doing brill :T

A couple of big life turning point outs for me this weekend:

Buggy (Freegle)
Potty (Freegle)

These are the last baby items to go now DD3 starts school in September. Half of me is sad and half of me is relieved. Anyway, won't dwell..

1 eBay parcel (Post Office)

Was going to do some more ebaying this weekend but haven't found the motivation.

Have a nice afternoon everyone,

Having de-cluttered a year or so ago I'm starting again. Mum died so 'stuff' accumulated again but its all thinned out now and in the spare room I've got boxes for Dads stuff and Mums.......special things that I really want to keep but at least there now neatly in old leather suitcases or wicker baskets and don't look like 'clutterl'
Bad back has stopped me for a while but with the help of a young girl who cleans for me we've de-cluttered my den/computer room and re-arranged files on shelves so I can easily reach them - while storing mums stuff away we went through the drawers up there and got rid of a load of stuff (why did I have so many scarves ?) and found net curtains I'd forgotten about so they're no up in our bedroom. Thats had a clear out -we don't need two laundry baskets !
Next job up there will be sorting out the drawers under our bed................I know there's some bedding in one and my sons stuff from art college in another..........can soon find another place for them. OH hasn't a clue whats in the drawers his side so he can't need or want any of it.
New bed needed and we're going to get one without drawers ! Nice pine one. I've come to the conclusion that if there's a drawer it'll get filled with something even when there's no need.
Neighbours got the builders in and when they've done we're sharing the cost of a skip -can't wait !!

Fantastic stuff! I took the afternoon off, went to see a friend who moved a while back, and am just going to start ebaying the big stuff that'll have to be "collect only" on ebay or anywhere else.

Thanks for the inspiration everyone
