Hi Everyone, This is what i have done today
9 bags of rubble, 1 mattress, 3 broken paving slabs, old gate, workbench, and tons of wood all to skip. :j
Made a start on cupboard understairs humped 186 laminate flooring boards out and put on freecycle which were collected 1/2 hour after listing. 1 blackbag of rubbish to bin. I had to chuck everything back in cupboard because my brother and sister turned up so will finish that job tomorrow.
decided not to take blackbag to CS until all my ebay items have finished and what does not sell will also go.
1 cardboard box and 2 jars recycled.
1 pair of shoes to CS bag.
Not bad going for one day lets see if i can do better tomorrow.
Off to list a light, see-saw, and bike on freecycle now lets hope these go to a good home to.

I think I am going to join this challenge, I could do with the motivation to declutter my house as it has got a bit out of control lately! Will aim for 100 things for September!

DH took about 5 things to dump today. House is starting to look a little better, but such a long way to go yet. Definately feeling more organised now though, thanks to this thread.
