The Great Declutter Part 3 - 2011

Mingle

A big HUGE GINORMOUS of rubbish popped in the bin and a huge pile of dust! Did a load of hoovering, oh so satisfying!

I also used up a block of henna so that's something out

Wow talk about missing in action! Work been really tiring so collapsed with exhaustion. Then not felt too great. Hope everyone feeling poorly/ tired feels better soon.

I've totally lost track where I should be but I'll pick up today as Day 8.

84. Top, which I ummed and aaahed about keeping, wore yesterday and all day thought damn this top, I hate it, damn, damn, damn! (charity)
85. Food supply to a friend of bits she can't get locally, but have been in my cupboard a month waiting to drop off to her.... (friend)
86. Glass nail file, got it free with a purchase, gave to a friend (friend)
87. Mattress protector, given it a wash, it's drying on the line all ready to go to a new home (charity)
88. Woollen cardie that made my itch from the moment I bought it, it's having a gentle wash now then off to a new home (charity)
89. Cat toy (charity) sssh don't tell the cat

Well I found a loads of old bus tickets in my underwear drawer. And lots of "things which might come in handy" which are now in the bin.
Culled the old stuff lurking in there, and my DD is going to have another go in her room, shes inspired and likes the feeling of sorting out!

Wow am impressed with everyones sorting. Its very therapeautic!

My son came home from grans n said 'wow mum! It's tidy! Yes we can make cakes!' He's 4, loves cooking but as the kitchen has bn soo messy I keep saying no.
It feels soo good for it to be tidy!
Although I still have a very long way to go!

Did my shredding this morning, and cleared the clutter off the computer desk (again!) and found some more paperwork for shredding/recycling, also found £4 in Mr T vouchers amongst the papers so it was worth going through it. Did another 2 loads of washing, so I think there's only 2 more loads to do and the dirty laundry basket will be empty for 5 minutes, lol!

I've still got a pile of ironing to tackle, but that will have to wait until tomorrow as I went to give blood a couple of hours ago, so now need to take it easy for the rest of the day.

Does anyone know which charity shops take foreign coins?

I know Oxfam do, but we don't have one near us.
The chances are I'm never going to use them and don't know anyone who will. It's only shrapnel but I'd rather donate it than bin it IYSWIM.

Afternoon

First up and tentaively about as I came down with some sort of lurgy so all decluttering ground to a halt and sadly I missed my target. Even though I disposed of quite a few bits, it hardly made an impact on the chaos around...... definitely food for thought.

Just filled a bin bag with stuff for the Charity shop so will be dropping that off on Wednesday.

Also got a full carrier bag of clothes for my nephew (yet more!) so they'll be going soon too.

Small steps but all progress.
