Two carrier bags of clothes as my sister had a clearout! Yay!

Masking tape, dustsheet and sugar soap for decorating

Out

Five old holiday brochures recycled

Pending Out

Two out of three items listed on Ebay have sold, still waiting for one person to pay, then will get them posted.

Half a bag of clothes from sister don't suit me, so will see if anyone else wants them before giving to charity shop.

Recent decluttering -

Composted three old bean flours (one "off" so discarded others similar date). Last bits from jars of herbs/spices added to stock recipe. So stock placed in these jars and eventually the emptied jars to recycling bin. Used an empty five litre container to make cheap liquid soap. As for paperwork, updating and then recycling unwanted.

It is nice to have created more space; actually encourages being more organised and to declutter.

I decluttered all the clothes from downstairs today. I managed to get all of the laundry washed, dried , ironed and put away (well a couple of bits were still out before I came to work tonight but I asked DH to PLEASE put them away). Managed to fill a carrier bag with clothes to go out in the recycling bin on Friday.
2 green sacks of garden rubbish to go. Am slowly working my way through the magazines I was given by my neighbour. Only about 40 left I think.
Managed to get the kitchen looking fab today. I decluttered a new shelf onto the wall on Friday and it looks fab. Decluttered my new chalk board onto the wall by the front door today and it looks fab too.
I have my eye on the pile of paint tins that are sitting outside my downstairs loo. I want to finish off the tiling and then repaint the walls. I will then paint the woodwork as we never got round to doing that. I intend to do a list of stuff tomorrow and will attempt to cross off one thing from the list each day alongside keeping up with the housework and decluttering and cooking.
I have cut my hours at work to 30 and am determined not to increase them at the end of my 4 month trial (November) so I need to show DH just how much I can get done whilst everyone is out in the day and just how much money I can save us from our food bills by being at home and more awake in the week.
I'm not sure if this can stretch to me doing the kids sarnies evey day though

Not much out so far this month! Only general rubbish and recycling but I have listed 66 items on ebay so far:) Hoping these will go to contribute to my 100 for September. Have been eyeing up some stuff for the charity shop and the clothes/shoe bin at the local recycling place. Will only update these when they have made it out the door!

Massive headache today, but just about to start the junk in the bedroom. Have piled all the homeless 'gumf' from around the house in there to sort out, and need to get cracking on it to find the bed before tonight!!
