    I've had 5 NSDs so I suppose it had to end,

    IN post, filed bank statements, dumped/recycled the rest
    Groceries - I like to make sure I have enough should it become
    impossible to get out of the house.
    1 pair pygamas, half price@ £5, 2 Tshirts @ 50p each
    1 roll Christmas paper & 6 gift tags




    OUT recyling bin full to brim for tomorrows collection
    3 bags of flour (used to some degree)
    empty tins of biscuits & sweets, another wine bottle;)

    Woop woop one very smug girl over here :) The evil cupboard from hell is now absolutely pristine... feel soooooo happy because I really do think that cupboard was the route to all our clutter problems.

    IN:
    Cushion from Debenhams ordered boxing day.
    Some brocolli, yoghurts and squash from neighbour who walked to shops.

    OUT:
    3 Bags for charity
    2 Bags of rubbish
    3 bags of loft stuff

    Finally used my clear plastic shoe boxes and they look great.

    Feel really chuffed as I have cleaned out spare room cupboard, DD's cupboard, my wardrobe, understairs cupboard and larder cupboard in 3 day- treating myself to some choccies to celebrate!

    I always do that too but you can't go wrong with black imo :D
  • For tomorrow:

    In: Hopefully some mail?
    Out: That bag of rubbish dumped in the hall, another MASSIVE bag of rubbish, CDs back to HMV for gift card and CDs to CEX for money plus a book to a Greenmetropolis.com customer.

    Possibly in: Crutches and a plaster cast as I reckon I'll break my leg on the icy pavements.

    Can I join in too please? We have soooo much stuff to declutter (DH and DD are real serial hoarders :rolleyes: )

    I want to sort out a filing system for DH which will shift, hopefully, a lot of the papers that DH has all over the place. This will probably be the next thing I will do.

    I have got 3 big black binbags of stuff to go to the charity shop when I can get there (snowy/icy right now) so it's a good start isn't it!

    Hi folks
    :wave:
    I've had a look over here a few times, and decided now is the time to declutter, and if I write it up here I can't get away with buying more stuff. Although I did go shopping today, I've charity shopped enough to even it out.

    IN
    two t-shirts
    2 new bras
    groceries

    OUT
    three old t shirts
    2 binbags of rubbish

    Had a very productive day yesterday. Listed lots of things on Eb*y and a few things for freecycle (awaiting collection due to snow).

    Plan to do some more today, probably tackle the kitchen ! Snow day again for me, DH and 3 kids :D

  • Okay, I am going to start properly tonight.

    I am still waiting for the labels from MM so I can send my old CD's off... But tonight I will bag up a load of clothes I've been meaning to take to charity and put them in the clothes bank because it's easier!!

    Luckily we've not had a lot of snow so I'll be able to get out okay :)
