I'm sorting out family photos. Ive got this really bad habit of taking two or three of the same shot just in case so ive got hundreds of them to go through. They bring back such lovely memories but i do think i need to go through the dupicates.

I'm the same, I've got loads of photos to go through to get rid of duplicates (I'm hoping to make a start on that tomorrow or Wednesday), even now with digital cameras where you can check it's ok at the time of taking the picture, I still take at least 2 of the same shot.

Not done much decluttering in past few days, but today I did put a pile of clothes (which OH had on the floor of the bedroom) into his wardrobe, I then told him that we don't have 'floordrobes' any more and he should put his clothes away! Also filed some bank statements and put some other paperwork, including todays junk mail, into recycling.

Just realised that my total on the challenge list is still at 7/100, as I've not been putting the header in my posts so to update:-

Ditch 100 in January Challenge 36/100

Does the ditch 100 challenge end with January or does it go on to the next month? I need months to declutter!

System

To add to the list.

2 odd mugs, had to check first though that Marks and Spencer still do replacements for my china mugs (in case of breakage).

A set of kitchen scales (i have two though i rarely need to weigh anything).

I'll carry on tomorrow.

I got rid of a few hangers and a couple of hats and gloves that are too small for my wee one now so another 2 to add to the list

Done no decluttering today. Unless I can count the engineer disabling my faulty house alarm while I look for the best replacement...

... only it doesn't count because they didn't do the job properly and the signal box is screeching away and someone has to come back out again!!!

finally got round to putting bookcase up yesterday, so packaging for that in recycling.
unpacked five boxes of books, and those empty five boxes are going to a friends this morn, as she is moving house soon also

DH taken 2 carrier bags full of bottle tops to go to his colleague's charity thingy.

Then not really decluttering but am really pleased I've sorted out my tax return and then contacted the lovely HMRC, advised of income for last tax year and anticipated for next year. I've been putting this off. Also gone through draft Wills, spoke to my sister and once DH home from work will double check and book appointment to get them all signed.

So good morning's work all in all - off for coffee, make beds etc and then going on a Maths course this pm :eek: - wish me luck!!!

It's amazing what you find to declutter when you're determined.

I've got rid of old gloves and scarfs, a new light shade, bought for £2 in a sale and never used, old toothbrushes used for cleaning (how many do you need?), vases that have been given to me but never used and a hideous ornament (also given to me) that never saw the light of day. etc, etc.

Can't seem to stop now!

System

2 mousemats (neither me or my son use them)

3 nail lacquer (gone thick)

2 pair of coloured laces

3 books

Bottle of perfume (ive been spraying it on the bed linen when i make the bed on a morning to use it up and i only wear Estee Lauder Youth Dew on myself)

Pair of bras (shrunk in the tumble dryer but if it wasnt for the agony of wearing it i look like a right buxom lass in it )

Two hand towels (ive started using guest towels as i found only the middle of the towels are ever used)

Pair of reading glasses that arent strong enough. Pity really as i like the frames

Have all gone to a better place
