    Right lets see what I have done the last few days.

    In: Food and loo rolls on special offer. 2 X Cream fleeces from Asda 2 for £3 :jgoing to use curtain linings in my living room curtains. 2 X Curtain tracks. Going to take the ones back to wilkinsons as the new ones are cheaper :rotfl:3 X square baskets from poundland. They plastic and square and show someone washing up in one. Easier for my one handed husband. And I am going to keep one in the car for going shopping with. Easier to use then carrier bags.

    OUT: All cardboard and plastic to the tip (walked it over) also took broken toaster as well as the kettle my husband chucked down the stairs (don't ask:rolleyes:) All my rubbish and recycling out in the bins,

    Kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it. Never mind :rotfl:

    Think that is me done for today.

    Yours

    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 through ;) Which 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
    I plan to empty all my letter draws tonight if I get time after dd goes to bed
    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 :o

    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:
