WOW ; I have just had a quick look through this thread and think its FANTASIC ...Well done for the idea and all the motivation ongoing :j:j:j
I would love to join please ?
As I am definately a hoarder { and all my friends are always telling me off about it } However Just after the New year I devised myself a plan of action this year that I am slowly working my way throughWhich includes emptying cupboards / rooms etc of items I have not used within 12 months and my plan is to rid of them or sell them some way or another .:o
This week alone I have
OUT :
- I have taken About 10 bin bags of papers / wrapping paper from xmas and other rubbish to the tip { as someone has stolen my wheelie bin } :eek:
- Placed 3 items on Freecycle last night and am awaiting there collection
And tommorrows task is to clear dd bedroom of toys and put away for a car boot which I plan to do soon when the weather gets better along with the other 3 huge boxes I have stored in my bedroom ready for car boot soon
My plan for the near future is too hopefully cash in on some items best I can like toys / books / some clothing . Hopefully on car boots / Ebay .
I have 4 boxes and suitcases also filling my bedroom of books which i need to get round to and put on Green Met and Amazon ....Any other sites if anyone has any ideas ?
I NEED to sort out my wardrobe of mountains of clothes I dont wear and car boot them / freecycle or charity shop I think - also my ever growing 3 year olds wardrobe of clothes that she is growing out of .
Im loving reading through all your ideas and its all giving me so much more motivation Thankyou :beer:
