The (Flylady inspired) Anniversary Declutter Mission

Dustykitten

Welcome mummyslittleboy and good luck.

Do you have a particular area you are hoping to sort, paperwork seems to be the biggest problem for so many of us.

DS3 is decluttering the two wires which have been holding his broken elbow together tomorrow morning that is one metal job that was not on my list :eek:

Hi mummyslittleboy

this thread of Dusty's is brilliant for identifying the areas that need doing and a great way to declutter before you get stuck into the cleaning.

I am still chipping away at my list - my Monday paperwork never seems to get any smaller!!!!

Good morning all, I have compiled a list but it is very looooooooong so will just post the 2 Mondays for now and see how I get on....

1st Paper Monday
Anything to do with paperwork/photos/boxes of cards/kids pictures/books/magazines etc
Remember some paperwork needs to be kept for certain periods of times
Shred confidential waste - .
Please recycle all other paper where possible.

7th Wool Monday
Any woolen garments to sort, jumpers, coats, hats, gloves, scarves - after the winter we have had if you have not worn them then you won't so get rid!

I am going to do some paperwork sorting today. And if I feel up to it maybe add a few things onto ebay.

Got a bit sidetracked on the paperwork and have decluttered understairs cupboard toys are all in the right boxes all broken toys in the bin couple of things to go to the local playschool that DS has outgrown and 3 carrier bags of carrier bags in car to go to supermarket recycle, and magazines for drs surgery going to make a start on paperwork when I have decluttered this coffee:D

I've sorted out the bottom of my wardrobe, sorted out my handbag and done some shredding (for DD2's guinea pigs).

Can I join this week please? I really need to get back into this thread, been mia here and on the Flylady thread for weeks and it shows ....

so here goes Monday - paper, off to see what I can get rid of, I was very good and did all my shredding last week in time for the dustcart but there's bound to be loads more junk lurking somewhere
