The Great Declutter Part 3 - 2011

Evening Everyone!

I havn't been counting my decluttered items but I did get rid of 4 Bra & Knicker Sets & 4 Bodies (all in ones - not human ones lol) on Freecycle. I also took my Christmas cards to Morrisons recycle bin & then bought 18 toilet rolls 'cos they were on offer & we seem to go thru them (no pun intended!) so quickly. I've also tried to put things away after I have finished using them - my mum always used to say 'Dont put it down - put it away' & I realise she was right!!
Gonna clear out the meter cupboard where all the scarves & odd gloves are kept - I also think there is a massive spider living in there so she'll have to find a new home (its OK - I like spiders )

glad you clarified about the bodies! I know we've been moaning about OHs but that would be some extreme decluttering!

Haha that really amused me this morning! Before I went to bed last night I cleared made sure the side in the kitchen was all clear- a place where general rubbish just tends to get dumped- and it was really nice to start the day with that all clear already. It also only took 5 mins if that as I had decluttered at the weekend! My aim for today is to clear the sofas and the desk- also where general rubbish just gets dumped- and then clear them every evening before I go to bed, in theory then it should only take a minute or 2 each day!

Well I managed to clear out my three bedside drawers last night - not a lot got cleared out as such but I'm happier that they're tidy and organised and I know what's in there now.

I also sorted through half of my digital photos on my external hard drive which isn't so much decluttering in a physical sense but it IS organisation and makes me feel better to know they're in order.

I aim to finish off the photos tonight and go through my wardrobe - got very frustrated this morning as couldn't find a cardigan I KNEW was in there, simply because eveything's jammed so tightly together. And when they're all crammed in like that they come out really creased too which isn't good is it?!

ahh good idea! I really must do this too - and I can do it in front of the telly!

realised that today is my 10th day!

92. naff fridge magnet given after I did a survey
93 -97 mags and catalogues (seem to have endless supply of these!)

decided I'm going to stop getting the next directory - I've always known it's a waste of money but I viewed it as no more expensive than buying a magazine. but I really don't need a hard copy as I can look online if I want to buy anythiing. having a paper copy lying around just encourages me to buy things I don't need.

My son came home from school ill, so I am not sure much will get done today. I did manage to get a few phone calls that needed to be done out of the way - so not physical decluttering, but decluttering my mind (still quite a bit in there to get rid of!!!!)!
