Since my last post

In
Nothing
Out
Another small bag of rubbish from tidying bathroom/utility room
Pending Out
A book to the PO (Amazon marketplace sale)
A bag of boys clothes for a cousin
A bag of girls clothes for the daughter of a friend (she might not want them if not will pop them to charity shop)
Other
Have started to fill a box with small items (not clothes) to go to the charity shop, idea is to put things in it as I go through each room....
So far have done living room, dining room, my bedroom and laundry room and bathroom.
By the time I've finished the kids rooms it'll be time to start again...and I'm back to work tomorrow

3 bags rubbish, old bathroom bin that was filled with old bath scrunchie things, and some old sun cream that wont be at it's best this summer so I chucked it.

In - yet more presents:rolleyes: ... in case anyone is interested, having two children with birthdays within a fortnight of Christmas is not good family planning lol

Out - lots of baby clothes because dd has so many that she can't possibly wear them all.
- a whole lot of 'leftover' stuff from children's craft projects pre-Christmas.

In progress - major audit of kitchen cupboard contents eek!

can i join please my house is the EU clutter mountain:o

do we post ins and outs daily or weekly?

if so todays are
IN
a bag of shopping
a joe brown sale catalouge (post)
a charity bag

OUT
nothing yet but the joe brown catalogue is already in the paper recycling tray and im packing the christmas decorations ready to take them back up into the attic for next year and we have a rule about when going into the attic you have to bring something down that can be thrown away or recycled so ill sort though and find some stuff to put in the recycling bag.

is this roughly how it works if not can someone give me a better idea please.

I'm back at work today, but thought I would continue the declutter in my office on the basis that I spend so much time here and surely any clutter here will impact on my wellbeing just the same as clutter at home.

So I have deleted over 1000 spam emails.......and will delete far more frequently from now on.

I have also thrown out some old newsletters etc, and asked for some box files so that I can get some other stuff that needs to be kept, sorted in a much more orderly fashion

Not much decluttering going on today as I'm at work
In Nowt [as far as I know ]

Out Newspaper recycling and rubbish. We haven't had a collection for a fortnight and I've only put one black bag out. Still one bag too many but I am at least seeing positive results to all my recycling and decluttering efforts.

Am hoping to make a start on my stash of cards I've got stored beneath the bed tonight.

Hi thought I'd update:
IN - craft-type bits that I ordered on boxing day when I was low......BUT I received a second set of cross stitch charts I have already received and paid for - have left voicemail as to what to do, hope I haven't been charged twice for them!
DVDs as above, must find something to do when im down except shop or eat!:o
OUT - wrapping paper from above deliveries
loads n loads of rubbishy bits that I thought I couldn't live without finally went into the bin:A
PENDING OUT - Item from craft delivery - realised I had ordered a magnifyer, but my aunt unearthed one the other day and gave it to me, lady at shop said she'd accept a return and return my card:T (which is good as its the credit card):eek::eek:
my dad to post office with ebay n play parcels
me to meeting tonight in freezing cold, not too happy bout that!
stuff for curly hair to my friend on wed
more toiletries to my other friend, she may be popping in for a coffee so can pass her them
£10 for her little boy's christmas as I don't have money to buy him what he really wants, ie fancy games etc, so he can put the money towards something special (plus I couldn't afford his birthday present this year)
DOWN TO THE FLOOR - my OH's chin when he saw carpet of livingroom:rotfl::rotfl:

lol! I agree - DD is 2 weeks before Xm,as and DS2 6th Jan - so we have 4 weeks where it's a present-fest! I did slightly better with DS1 + DS3 - April & May
although I have to confess to very little actual planning for 3 of them....:o
