Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

Gers

Still at it and not counting.

3 handbags - given to friends
Numerous paperbacks - given to friends
A HUGE pile of paperwork - shredded at work
Slow-cooker hardly used -given to friend
Three-quarter empty bottle of vodka lurking in kitchen cupboard - drunk

Need to get a shift on as having decorating down and new carpets laid and I refuse to move the garbage anywhere but O.U.T.

:eek:

91 - 102) And there go 6 curtains, 5 cushion covers, a cushion and a clean dishcloth into the recycling!

Wonder how much stuff I can sort for next Saturday's sale:D

I've been sorting out and clearing up almost all day. I haven't counted how many things have gone - but it's loads and loads. I knew I had a mountain to climb and I've been climbing all day. It's beginning to give me confidence that I can do it.

Still got to line the curtains, though, but that will happen bit by bit.

I will get straight!!! I will get straight!!! I will get straight!!!!

Drunk as in verb and not drunk as in adjective!

Actually enjoyed the voddie and didn't affect me as much as my usual wine.

Since my last posting I have found three boxes of freezer bags... sometimes I wonder if I actually do much thinking when shopping!

Two of the said boxes in a bag for a friend.

Well decluttering has really really slowed down for me, but I know that I am still happy in the knowledge that although I am not going to make it to 100, all the things that have left me home have made a difference to me or someone else.


52. ELC toy till - via freecycle.
53. Another bag of clothes to charity shop.
54. Shoes (that gave me blisters yesterday - and do not make me smile when I look at them!!!) - to CS.
55. Another pair of glasses to charity bin at specsavers - but two more pairs came in - but not clutter as will be used.

Bringing me to

Ditch 100 in Jan 55/100

Not much today except

51 a bag full of shredded paper

Good to hear other people doing so well

I have just listed another 3 items on ebay.
Was wondering if anyone could offer advice about recycling old dvd's. they are too scratched to go to charity shop. I dont want to chuck them in the bin if they can be recycled or reused.
Thanks:)
Also, just found a bag of books that I will take to school on monday as we have a book and cake sale each term.
Will take the tub of used batteries I have been collecting, into the supermarket when I shop too.

You could offer them on Freecycle - gardeners use them. Tie them on string as bird scarers.

This thread inspired me to get rid of a lot of old uni text books and I made £106 from Amazon Trade in and £42 from Zapper, so thank you very much.
