I dont do handbags at all :cool:
The dog (reason 117) ate most of my shoes a few years ago and I really haven't bothered much since. The Imelda in this house is my lovely DH who would :eek: if I got rid of anymore of his.
Clothes I go through regularly - I got rid of a lot of mine when I lost the weight and have no funds to buy more. I am claiming it is a capsule wardrobe.. I did go through some of the boys stuff and charity bag a few things they have grow out of.

HI all and best wishes,,
This is a wonderful idea and i am sure that by the end of the week i will see some difference.
Please dont think me rude that i havent updated my progress.
If i get on the pc, i get sidetracked. I wander off and nothing gets done. I tell myself i can come back to the thread when i have done some work!
( I then get sidetracked and wander off in another direction...................!)
And i wonder where the kids get it from!.

Evening all
Builder has repaired the plaster issue but my shelf can't go back as the pump is in the way so I'll sort my stuff later and hope the DH can construct some sort of replacement at the weekend - it will be less space and I was already short of space.
Been out for most of the day but I'll be working harder tomorrow. Still hoping to do some ironing and hand sewing tonight.

Cloth: Decluttered 4 bags to charity yesterday and one huge one of hand-me-downs to a friend today. Loads more clothes to declutter - need to do this every week for a while!:rotfl::rotfl:
Decluttered piece of fabric (from the attic of doom) to fellow flylady - just another 2 tonnes to go then....
Leather: Shoes and boots done and ready to go. Handbags were done just before Crimbo (when one was stolen) and I haven't acquired any new ones.:beer:0
