The Great Declutter Part 2

TudorRose

Have started as I mean to carry on (hopefully!)

When I got home last night had a mini de clutter while tea was cooking

In
Several items of junk mail - all duly recycled

Out
small bag for rag bin at charity shop which I have just taken over to them
(opposite where I have my shop so quite painless)
old recipe leaflets/booklets to recycling - found when checking cookery book shelf

Pending
7 cookery books for cs (mainly from 1980s)
Anniversary card to post to cousin in USA
Printer cartridge to send to Tesco recycling with added bonus of 100 points to look forward to
4 metal sweet/biscuit tins to put in recycling bin
1 scraper tool found on top of kitchen cupboard from 4 years ago to return decorator who lives across the road
Return wrong mobile phone charger to Argos for refund

I close for half day at 1pm today so will try to tackle something later rather than go out
This thread is what I need to motivate me - Thank You :T

Ok - last few days - have spent clearing and cleaning - the pile of stuff for the charity shop is growing - now in a large bag, have 2 suitcases on freecyc, and a box of stuff for putting on ebay. As much recycling as I can manage and have only bought in an old Twister game from Freecyc for the kids.

Need to recycle my temper though dealing with whinging kids aarrrgghhhh!

In: Nothing, so far (still hopeful postie will b ring some DVDs, books and CDs ordered last week though )

Out:
- Old pair of DS' school shoes - into bin as have big holes in the front
- Last of pressies packaging into recycling bin - managed haul bin through 6 inches of snow in garden to kerbside - hope they manage to collect it as I've got a load more to go in it once it's empty!


:snow_laug Looking forward to building a snowman when DS gets home from school (his seems to be the only school open in the area - he is NOT amused lol)

Have a good day everyone!

Hi - OK if I join in?

I have got a few hotspots in the house - our bedroom wardrobe, under the kids beds, all the kitchen cupboards which are full of things I don't use and I won't even mention the sheds (yes sheds - we have three and we can't get into any of them!) - or the attic.
I'll have a read through the thread and be back later with a plan of action!

I have a massive bag of rubbish to go out but the bins are fozen shut so I dumped it in the hallway. I've almost filled another even bigger bag with all sorts of rubbish. I am seeing more and more carpet on my bedroom floor.

nothing done yet today apart for using up the last of my bird seed so thats technically an OUT but will need replacing

last night i did return 7 assorted books to church that my eldest DS has borrowed over the last couple of years when studing for his choir exams.

i spent all of yesterday emptying and alphabtizing ONE of the dvd cupboards, we seem to spend so long trying to decide what to watch then hunting for it we rarely have time to actually sit down with a film. there is now a printed list on the inside of the cupboards door and woe betide anyone who messes it up. Got the second cupboard emtpied out and sorting that at the mo. Ive given DH a small rack to leave out with "to be watched" films in it so we havent got to hut for them;).
