Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

I am going to clear the clutter under the coffee table today and see what I can get rid of.

ETA sorted lots of books back to their homes and have de cluttered three catalogues and 3 magazines into recycling pile for the tip.

24/100

365days

I've just cleaned out the car. Oh My!!

Going to count it as 4, as there was cans, fag packets, tickets, mud, bits of twigs, sweetie wrappers, coffee cups you name it it was in there. 2x goes with the garage hoover, and it's still a state.

Seem to have lost my MoJo lately

Anyway in the last few days have decluttered

54. DD's old phone - sold to a friend
55. A bottle of "dollar a gallon" deodorant of DS's that I'm counting as have been trying to use it up and it won't be replaced.
56. Some pyjamas and jeans that DD has grown out of - to CS.

I am not too worried if i don't get to the 100 as I probably have decluttered 100 individual items but counted them grouped together - pyjamas and jeans as an example.

There are about a dozen things on ebay (tho none with bids yet ) and some things waiting for a charity shop bag, which i could count now but haven't yet.

Had a good day today. Firstly the sun's been shining all morning and the promised lunchtime 'showers merging to give longer outbreaks of rain' haven't happened yet. A bright sunny day really helps with motivation!

This afternoon I've weeded the bookcases in my craft room and have 53 books to go out. They'll go to the WI Trash and Treasure stall and if they don't sell there then it'll be off to the charity shop. Shouldn't count them yet as they won't go out of the house till late February but they are all boxed up ready to go. This means I can reduce the two bookcases down to one and that makes space for a single bed and the cot.

Lots more tidying and decluttering needed in this room as all my cupboards are full of craft bits that need weeding and sorting. I hope to get some of this done over the weekend and also get the curtains lined so they can go back up at the window rather than lurking iround the house waiting for their turn with the sewing machine.

Hi
Im a recycling officer
you cant usually recycle photos but check your local authorities website.

Try:

putting the best ones on ebay - they might be good for art/crafting/ student projects

take to your local library ask them if they have photo library - local authorities or historical societies may have use for them

local newspaper if they are old photos

ones that are not good for reuse - could ask local school if they want them for collage activities- or you could make a collage from them

photo paper contains heavy metals and should not be binned you could ask the local jess*ps, MrT erc if they would take them for disposal

Oh dear, can you elaborate more on this. I have often thrown pics out.

Sorted through some more paperwork before going to work today, and found some more used envelopes to take into work for internal post, lucky I did as we only had 2 in the cupboard at work. Also I've got a small pile of papers to be shredded tomorrow, and posted 2 used printer cartridges off to British Heart Foundation for recycling.
