    My month ended yesterday with a July total of 37/50 from the paperwork mountain and 35/50 general decluttered items.

    I'm looking forward to calling the paperwork mountain a hill!

    I'm going to challenge myself to another 50 of each this month. I should have a better chance of achieving it because I don't have any mad weeks with a lot on which is what happened in July.

    It's paper recycling bin day tomorrow so I am going to continue with paperwork today. Will report back later.

  • Have been really good this weekend, totally decluttered the filing cabinet & all paperwork is now in order (plus mountains for the burning bin & recycling)
    Now attacking the garden, moved tonnes of wood (ready for logs in the winter) repositioned the chicken coup & making a new pen, I've made a MASSIVE pile of stuff to go to the tip (much to hubby's disgust:eek: was his face... :rotfl:)
    Don't stop me now...... I'm havin such a good time... :cheesy:

    Afternoon everyone....

    OH has been out all day so I've finally been able to have a good sort out and de-clutter. We too had a charity bag pushed through our door on Thursday to be collected tomorrow so it was a good incentive to get rid of some more clutter. I've haven't thrown much out today but did manage to put away a lot of stuff that had just been dumped in the spare room so I can now see the bed :)

    I'm going to aim for 100 items this month and see how I get on.

    Here goes;

    1. 2010 Calender was a freebie so recycled
    2. Handbag - charity bag
    3-5. T-shirts - charity bag
    6. Spice rack - charity bag
    7. Cool bag - charity bag
    8-12. Books - charity bag
    13. Book sale on Green metropolis (the book was listed in May :eek: but at least that's £3 for me :p )
    14. A big pile of brochures/newspapers/cuttings etc - recycled

    I will pop back again later this week with an update..... have a good evening.

    Evening all!

    I'm going to aim for 155 items this month - that's 5/day, but we're away for a few days, so it should hopefully stretch me *just* enough... :D

    1 & 2. broken toys to bin
    3. pile of magazines recycled

    That's about it for today!! I have paperwork to sort tonight, so some from there may get added to the list!

    Don't stop me now...... I'm havin such a good time... :cheesy:
    I picked the kids up from Mil's one day and she said that DS (then aged 4) had been doing something in the kitchen and DD (then 6) walked in and told him to stop. Apparently he just burst into song with the moves and everything!

    Declutterwise. Lots of stuff put in the loft as wardrobe man coming tomorrow (oops, it's late, today) morning. It will be got out pretty soon to finish off as it's all DIY stuff. DH has emptied the hallway whilst I was at work. He hasn't been to the tip though so Lord knows where that lot has gone :eek:.
    Hope to get lots done tomorrow morning :D
