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!

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.0 -
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!Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
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 rubbishChifundo Uzuri Siochain"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost" - JRR Tolkien~

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

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
