    I have had no luck selling DD's toys on netmums so I think they will be listed on freecycle tomorrow....they are currently cluttering up the DR, a shame really as thought I could have made a couple of quid at the same time as declttering, hey-ho!!!!

    Not much to report today.

    Put out general wheelie bin when came in from work. Should be emptied tomorrow. Hope so as like lots of other people can't fit anything more in. The snow is thawing so there shouldn't be a problem getting it emptied.

    Hello all! Not done much decluttering, DH is clutter in and of himself and makes getting anything done a nightmare - thank goodness the buses are running again to get him out from under my feet!

    Since I don't seem to be getting on very well with this decluttering lark, here's my list for the next week:

    TO DO:

    Computer and craft cupboard (papers, electrical, misc.)
    Walk-in hall cupboard (shoes, coats, bookshelves)
    Under shower room sink (toiletries etc)
    Corner of living room (papers etc piled up)
    Storage boxes under coffee table (papers, pens, brochures, games)

    DVD unit (DVD and CDs, cat toys, lip glosses (don't ask))
    Media storage boxes in TV unit (games, DVDs, CDs, bongos)
    Wardrobes & chests of drawers in bedroom (clothes, shoes, accessories)

    Oh lawks, it makes it sound like a right tip seeing it all written down like that! :D Hope tomorrow goes better, although I do have to go out tomorrow morning. Big sigh... ;)
