The Great Declutter Part 3 - 2011

jess1011

de-cluttering this week is non existent! Although I have sold A book on ebay (big woo!) Not really anything to shout about though, to be fair I started a new placement this week which is 2 hours away so there's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! x

Thanks for the positive messages! I feel a lot better and now I can relax after my exam i'll be back to 100% soon

I've decluttered my revision materials into the bin I also changed the bedding last night because OH wasn't here and I like being the first to sleep under fresh sheets.

Hope the decluttering is going well xx

Oh me too mingle, in fact, even if they're due to be washed the day I go on a night shift, it doesn't happen! There's no way DH is allowed in the bed first with fresh sheets

I love being the first under fresh bedding too Even if it's just for 5 minutes lol.
Mingle - glad the exam is over and done with now and you can put your feet up

Over the last 2 nights I've made £70 on ebay which I'm really pleased about. The knitting machine sold and the table went for far more than I expected. One is being collected on Sunday and the other needs arranging. I posted 3 items yesterday and have 2 more to do today and then the rest when they've been paid for. More space + more money =

The girls are going to their dad's this afternoon and back on Tuesday so plenty of time to get things done. For once the miserable weather we're having here isn't dampening my spirits and I feel like I'm raring to go! Bring on the clutter!!

I've been sewing today instead of actually removing anything from my house. It is still decluttering of sorts though as I am finishing off a WIP which will go on our bed and get rid of the bits of fabric which are sitting on my bookshelf. I have been given a carrier bag full of duvet covers so they will be stored for some time until they are ready for sewing up- or to put it better, I am ready to sew them up!
DH has just dropped the littlies at his mums as I'm working tonight and he's off out for a friends birthday. In the 1/2 hour spare I had, I rushed round like a tornado and have tidied up the front room, dining room and kitchen, stuck on a load of washing (which has now finished and is in the dryer) and bunged on another load of washing. The kitchen's clean and tiday and the dw is ready to wash when it's full up. I also managed to throw the hoover around. Now I'm off to work for a rest!
Cheerio, happy decluttering

I've managed a slight declutter today:

5 cloth handbags and one leather handbag

3 bras

all to the CS.

Plus a big paper declutter out to recycling.

A few little bits decluttered/packed including toiletries and scrappy bits of paper. I'm taking a load of stuff to my mom's tomorrow so that should be mega helpful as well! I now have a pile of stuff waiting to e moved into OH's place but he needs to do his decluttering before I can move anything

Well, I've just had my breakfast. I'm now surveying the 4 loads of washing leering at me from the laundry basket. I washed it all and dried it yesterday and this morning and lo and behold, not one speck of it has moved an inch since then. I can't stand to look at it so I'm going to go and do it in a minute. DH is now at his Mums house so when I go down there with DS, I will be telling them all that they can bliddy well put away the clean washing when they get home. Cheeky monkeys
I had such a busy night last night and I'm so tired now it's not true!
I would really like to have enough time to cut out another square for my quilt top but the washing must be done first. Boo, hiss, I hate having to work and do boring stuff while the rest of the family is off having fun and I have to go to wok tonight.
I may pop back later to gloat that I've done it all but that's quite unlikely!
