Hi
Again, haven't posted for a while on this thread....but success, actually got round to clearing out the kitchen cupboard I planned to do about 3 weeks ago!!! Not only that, cleared out 1 drawer in the kitchen and 2 drawers in the unit in the dining room!!!!
Stuff has been allocated to car boot (now in car boot box in loft) and stuff beyond repair (or rusty) has been thrown out.
Target for this week is paperwork - all visible paperwork needs to be sorted, recycled and shredded where applicable - the pile in the bedroom keeps growing and the pile ontop of the printer is also getting larger. Lets hope I can get it done this week.
Still following some tips off flylady and the house has been much tider since (though I do tend to do most jobs on a Saturday morning).Mortgage Free x 1 03.11.2012 - House rented out Feb 2016

Well bedroom looks much better now. Put xmas tree and suitcases back into the loft. Still a few boxes of papers to sort but I took another load to the tip today - the paper container is nearly full and I'm sure I contributed a huge amount of it!
My dog decided to help with the decluttering today - I opened a tin of corned beef so I could have some scrummy sandwiches with brown sauce and as I carefully disposed of the nasty sharp tin the mut helped himself to the CB!GC 2024 £1445.91/£3000
