    Have decluttered 3000 emails today, woohoo!

    Same here! It's the only decluttering I've managed so far, however have seen in my diary that I am off most of next week so will have a lot of time to declutter my life! I'm going to aim to declutter 100 things at least in that time, but till then I must head back to finishing this essay for uni!

    Not done too much de-cluttering lately, apart from paper recycling, but did send 2 ebay parcels last week (was gutted that 1 cost about 50p more than I'd charged the buyer, as it was too thick to go as a large letter, and I only got a bid of £1.50 for it! :mad:), and got another 1 to post either tomorrow or Thursday.

    It's my day off tomorrow, and got a charity bag through the door today that is for anything, and will be collected on Thursday, so hopefully I'll find plenty to put in that.

    Must get the spare room sorted in the next couple of weeks, as my niece has asked to come for a visit and will need to stay overnight, I don't want her seeing it in such a state, also the bed is unusable at the moment, lol!

    Project master bedroom sorted all by end March:T:
    1. [STRIKE]Clear floordrobe on my side[/STRIKE]!Started during tv ads and done!
    2. Get OH to clear his side!
    3. Sort out the stuff in front of the wardrobe, find homes for etc.
    4. Sort the clothes in the wardrobe.
    5. Make sure the windowsills are clear.Started, a few bits to go.
    6. Sort the main chest of drawers - the surface and the drawers.
    7. Sort the open cupboard too.
    8. Reward with getting a superking duvet and covers :)

    Tidied the bedside table so some clutter on top was gone and drawers inside sorted better. Right two TV adverts were on shortly so I rushed upstairs and sorted during the 1st advert:
    ...Loads of rubbish bits (why don't I have a bin??!!)
    ...A load of white washing, now in the machine.

    And in the 2nd advert:
    ...found my hairdryer:o
    ...sort the clothes to wash into piles
    ...

    And in the 3rd advert:
    ...another little bag of rubbish
    ...moved the odd bits of clothes to the washing piles
    ...got rid of more recyling
    ...put letters with stuff to shred in a little container/trug
    ...slightly made windowsills and corner area worse but....drum roll.... I cleared my side of floordrobe and rubbish. woo hoo.

    Phew. Little and often. Try doing stuff during the tv ads!
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    morning all,

    decluttered
    1. pizza boxes from last night out
    2. body moisturiser give to friend.

    I know my target of 50 seems low but I need to take baby steps or I will freak out 0 I know myself too well! Also I am not counting rubbish or recycling in that total.

    Am hoping to get a few bits onto ebay this evening and that will help with the total and the ££s :)
