    morganlefay thanks for the tip - I had seen something similar years ago for cutting out coupons and didnt know where to get a up-to-date version - brilliant - of course you have to remember to have it handy when reading anything:rotfl:

    Having been to France for a week and realising how little stuff the 5 of us need I've come home in the mood for another declutter!

    I did really well last time using this method and was even inspired to do the loft and a car boot sale so I thought I'd have another go over the next two weeks.

    I plan to use the original lists with a bit of tweaking for summer.

    I'd be more than happy if any of you want to join me again.

    I'm still on a massive declutter mission! In the last week i have binned 5 full black bags of crap from my flat - just from kitchen and hall cupboard:eek: There is very little in the living room so that should be ok. But my bedroom and DD's bedroom will be a little more challenging. Will carry on this week and see how i do:D

    Trying to do a declutter of the whole house at the moment bit by bit.

    This last week I have:

    Decluttered the bottom of the wardrobe
    Got rid of two bags full of charity shop gibble
    decluttered 6 items to ebay which will be posted out this week
    decluttered my sewing/knitting bag....a few balls of wool and a couple of knitted hats I don't want went to the charity shop.
    Got rid of a mattress topper that's been under the bed for the last 12 months that we don't want

    Next week I plan to:

    Ebay some more stuff
    Declutter my wardrobe...feel like I've got a wardrobe full of stuff but nothing to wear!!!

    Excellent hocking you all in, evil grin.

    I've just listed a few bits of furniture on ebay and DH has listed a few bits on freecycle (one has collected already!)
