    Thanks for this Dusty, I have already allocated some stuff to be decluttered to DSD who is moving soon and on the lookout for stuff, so far, 3 cushions( I gather them like they are gold!!!!!), a black plate for candles(she will use as a fruit dish) and a water filter jug(takes up too much room in our fridge) so will declare those on appropriate days, along with other stuff hopefully.
    Thanks again xx

    Thanks for all joining in and glad to see some of you posting your own lists.

    I've just listed a few bits on ebay to start my declutter.

    Paper Monday

    Sort out the boxes of kids school work and rehome under their beds
    Sort the little drawer unit on my desk
    Small paper hotspot in the kitchen

    Our paper recycling is collected on Wednesday so I want as much stuff in there as possible by the end of tomorrow.

    Count me in too Dusty!

    I have a huge pile of shredding to do and another mountain of paperwork to sort through for tomorrow. Just need to find the time in my busy day!

    Can I join in please.
    Today I am going to reorganise the photographs and sort out the bills cupboard and shred anything we don't need. I then use all our shredded paper for the chickens nest box.

    Hi :j
    Thanks Dusty for this - I am in (already on list so no escape)! I'll be happy if I just declutter 10 things a day (every little helps). Although everything is fairly tidy thanks to Flylady Thread, I still have too much stuff.

    Good luck everyone.
