    Helloooooo

    Few days of non-decluttering here but I'm happy to say today has been different.

    I've finalised my girlguide group accounts/paperwork and chucked all old paperwork.

    DD is currently decluttering her room, lots for freecycle but some too good to give away so will try selling it at a car boot later in the year.

    Also out a pair of DHs shoes he's never worn :rolleyes:

    IN: Post, duly thrown in bin as it was junk mail :rolleyes:.

    I think we might get snowed in tomorrow according to the forecast and schools will probably be closed so I may get another day at home to do more decluttering - fingers crossed ! :j

    I'm intolerant of wheat, citrus, grapes, grape products and dried vine fruits, tomato, and beetroot, and I am also somewhat caffeine sensitive.
  • I've been sent home early from work due to the snow, so I'm having a half hour decluttering in the study :D

    Oooh, is it good ? I can knit, but can't follow a crochet pattern, and I am soooo tempted to buy it

    OOOHH, Can I join?
    I have read alittle of the thread and like a lot of others feel overwhemed at the amount of carp in the house.

    Not sure where to start as I am not very ruthless....am trying, at the mo at selling on netmums....if it doesn't sell it will go to the charity shop.
    I have 2 carrier bags I listed yesterday so I will try and get another 2 tomorrow and so on.

    Any hints or tips welcome, TIA xx

    IN: Nothing- not even had post today yey!!!

    OUT: Where do I start! The evil understairs cupboard is now the serene utterly organised undertairs cupboard! Out of date medicines, Glass all ready for the recyling, 2 old tatty picnic rugs, old take away menus. Some light switches and other fixtures and fittings are now in the shed. Shoes are ready to be homed in the evil upstairs cupboard (hopefully tomno but may keep up the momentum and have a bash tonight!) Arrrggggghhhh I feel I have an organised kitchen!

  • Kadeeae, that is so cute! sorry, I'm not helping, am I? :o

    First day off sick, pretty much not moved from sofa all day, but did get rid of an old uplighter standard lamp via freegle, so not all bad!

    Also, nothing in for a change, either :D
