Few bits of post out in recycling/shredding straight away yesterday, only other thing in a few bits for my music group which will go again soon.
Out:
Only food related really but someone else has shown an interest in my mirror so fingers crossed that will completely go tomorrow.
Also pile of catalogues I've never requested that I'm posting back with a note saying return to sender and remove from mailing list - don't know if it'll help but I can try!

Hi all well not managed as much as i hoped so far but yesterday got rid of 5 bowls, 5 plates and all mismatched cutlery. I'd sorted them out ready for charity but a friend in need of them came round and had them so that was good. Its loft day tomorrow...this will definitely bring me up to 100 items in 10 days! xIf music be the food of love then play on"No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow". ღ ~Maya AngelouDoing it for my kids.

Do you live with my OH too?? We must have had at least 1000 DVDS too. We have gradually managed to decrease the number, but only because we now have roughly 700 Blu-Rays. OMG, that sounds a lot, but OH has managed to get most of them on the cheap from ebay/sales/as presents/with vouchers etc. He's film mad. And it doesn't help with the decluttering.Extra savings aim for 2020 £4,000 £0/£4,000

My sofas are now clear! They are usually covered in coats that havnt been put away or washing that needs ironing or something, but now you can actually sit on them! And I decluttered the desk today too, sorted the post as it came through the door and kept the side in the kitchen clear...stuff there drives me mad but I think im the worst culprit :-) A successful day! DH is off work tomorrow though and I will be out for a lot of the day, im concerned all my hard work over the last few days is about to be undone in the space of a few short hours!!January grocery challenge- £338.09/£350
