  • I'm very pleased with myself this morning, I spent yesterday decluttering my bedroom & made a radical decision, nearly everything that was going to go to the car boot is now going to charity.........:D
    This is mainly because I just don't have the time to do one in the next few weeks & that means boxes of "stuff" being stacked up everywhere until I do which is a real no no!
    So...

    OUT
    35 items of clothes
    10 soft toys
    various games

    (pending)
    3 large crates of "stuff"......:D

    IN
    8 Pigeons (for freezing)

    67. two old pillows binned, after remembering about dust mites.
    68. mug, binned - its chipped. Took a photo, cos its dear to me, but I don't have room for chipped mugs!
    69. lots of carp in the loft, which can go with me to the recycling centre tomorrow - includes a child's blackboard that needs a bit of work, but it'd do for a toddler.

    Dictionary from Gran

    Out

    Seven tops, one pair of trousers and a purse to charity shop

    Pending Out

    Top and CD into charity bag

    Very much the same as my last post. However, also fridge compartment decluttering, sending a very difficult
    long-delayed letter, magazines read and recycled, returning an unwanted item for refund and using up flower fertiliser. From these, space clearing seems therapeutic although dealing with "mental clutter" is the worst but great when it is done.

    Evening all,

    Right the target is to get rid of 100 things by Friday:

    1. to 21.

    Evening all,

    Boy am I tired. I dropped off a sack of charity bits today - I was going to pass some bits to friends and then found they were cluttering up the place again so I bit the bullet and made them gone, gone, gone.

    So up to 21 things so far. Too tired to do any decluttering tonight - will attack with a vengeance tomorrow. :D

    Had to tidy the spare room over the weekend as DS was coming to stay overnight with his GF, and his bed was covered in stuff waiting to go to charity shop/be listed on Ebay. I now have all the pending Ebay stuff stacked neatly in boxes, a box for CS is in the shed ready to be taken at the weekend, recycled a couple of old shoe boxes and put out 4 pairs of old shoes for recycling.

    Yesterday I posted another Ebay parcel, gave a shirt that DP doesn't wear anymore to my dad, and my DS took 3 items of post. Today I got rid of a few more batteries in the recycling bin.
