The Great Declutter Part 3 - 2011

Skint_but_Optimistic

Right found my recipies (I source alot of them online and print them off and add to a folder)

Heres the gateux http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/149376/Luxury-Black-Forest-gateau

And here is the cheese scones... http://www.be-ro.com/recipe/showrec3.html

But I dont use mustard powder and I add herbs de provence.

I also use the base recipie, and cut up some bacon into small squares, fry and grate stilton. Bacon and stilton ones are lovely! x

CD's not worth selling were binned yesterday, i have a pile of about 30 for the charity shop and 50 are about to be collected by music magpie on friday. Not bad going

Sorted out the pile of paperwork by the desk and added reciepts to grocery spreadshread so i could throw them away.

OH decluttered the garden of the big holly bush!

Hoping to clear and declutter a cupboard this evening!

Hi all, as I am cooking up a storm with the great defrost again on friday night, im tasking the husband to sort the old paperworks out! DD2 needs to hit her target of a carrier bag of "stuff" out of her room a week too!

We shall also be making more scones, they seem to mysteriously disappear.

Planning an ebay photographing thing on saturday, and will also list a car to sell.!

following on from my thread the other day about my parents taking my kids for 2 days so i get a break and can sort my house out this is day 1!

im not long back from dropping them off and im just having an early lunch and sorting out a couple emails before i crack on.

ive decided to start on my room. im bringing up a laundry basket and starting on my drawers clearing stuff out. once they are tidied i can start on my floordrobe and get everything else.

ill keep updating throughout the day when i take a break!

wish me luck!

Well you certainly sound motivated for this! Hope it all goes to plan - but don't knock yourself out over-doing things!

Best of luck! I don't envy you the task but you can do it! I am sure loads of people will follow your progress here and offer support when you need it!

Don't forget when you're purging you need a laundry basket, a "move to a different room" basket and a bin bag for rubbish. A charity shop bag is always useful too. Move them all from room to room with you as you go.

Good luck and enjoy!!

ive just thrown out a big primark bag and a old avon box full of stuff already! ive 2 laundry baskets and i think everything is in the right rooms bag a couple stray socks of the kids that have got caught up in my laundry. ive thrown out loads of old make up and realised i dont need to buy any toielteries or make up for about a year!

gonna be a hard thing for me not to buy any like coz i am an ex-clinique consultant so im almost addicted to make up!!!
