    I got fed up with my 15 yr old daughter living in a tip and not able to find anything, so it's been decluttered.

    She has a tiny room so now no excuses for her to keep it tidy.

    One bin bag of rubbish (crisp packets,empty drink bottles and bits lol) and books sorted it is now tidy again. Going to go through all her clothes with her tomorrow, she has far too many.

    So will make use of free listing day on ebay lol.

    Bathroom declutter tomorrow too :)
    Getting myself sorted 1 day/1thing at a time :) and Love sewing :)

    Hi all...

    Had a better day today, well, apart from pushing the buggy through the melting snow. I've got biceps of steel now!

    IN:
    Credit card bill ...not a huge one.

    OUT:
    Loads of old make-up to the bin
    1 make-up bag and two unused eyeshadows to the charity bag.
    Loads of half inflated balloons (left over from Christmas) from DDs room. They are fully deflated now ;) and in the bin.
    Carrier bag full of junk (bits of paper, glitter, screwed up tissue paper, etc, etc) from DDs room.

    Plus the binmen came today....first time in three weeks. They didn't look very happy....

    PENDING:
    6 magazines currently on eBay, finish tomorrow.
    Charity bag
    Birthday present and card for DDs friend - needs posting.
    More magazines to list on eBay - that'll be Sunday then.

    Have a good evening

    Well, I've been away on a business trip, so nothing OUT this week, but the wine has arrived (5 boxes), and miracle of miracles, it all fit into the cupboard under the stairs, even if I didn't think my decluttering efforts had been all that impressive!

    Next stop: the spare room...

    Hia, lots of tidying not so much decluttering.

    In = dog treats, food, all boxed in lock and lock containers rather than boxes cluttering up the place.

    Out =
    1 empty foundation bottle (washed out, recycled)
    1 bare essentials pot, not much left, totally wrong colour (charity)
    1 bare essentials bronzer (charity, as its a ruddy nightmare to use and I've now found my other one)
    Only counting as 1 item, but loads of rubbish/recycling from cloakroom (recyled)

    Noffink much done on my goals (but was able to hoover most of the bedroom floor today!).
    Tasks still to do this month = a reward to book a spa break!
    clear bedroom floor - aim to get rid of 1 bag of stuff this week
    clear spare bedroom floor of clutter, re-establish as bedroom - aim to get rid of 2 bags of stuff this week

    I am not quite on target for my declutter 300 things in 30 days (loopychriss I can see why you do this in 100 things in 10 days bursts). But I must press on. Even my loved one today said I've been sorting out some DVDs and Wii games that can go. So thats good news. :A
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage
