Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

Looby_Lou

I'm failing miserably on the ditch 100 challenge. I started well, then ended up in hospital and have been exhausted and too ill to get much done. Today I feel human again :j, so far I have sorted the pantry getting rid of out of date food (2 carrier bags ) and a bag of assorted plastic tubs. I've also been through the bathroom cabinet and have got rid of a load of half empty containers. I'm hoping to go to the charity shop on my way to school to drop off a bin bag of too small clothes that i sorted out. I haven't counted the exact number of items so I'm going to guess (on the low side)

Ditch 100 in January 30/100

Looby_Lou its a start and i hope you feel better soon. Dont push yourself into doing more than you should do. Your health is more important.

not too doing to badly....

21. terrible lemon zester
22. old plastic fork think...
23. loads of 'nearly finished products in the bathroom - i now smell very fruity!!!!
24. mismatched tubs and lids from plastic tub cupboard...
25. some wall hanging decorations that were trimmed to fit and old flat that i was never going to get round to hanging here...
26. a bag or manky veg from the fridge (gutted had planned to make soup)

i only started last night but i might just make the 50 for this month that i thought i would... (i figured with just days 100 might be too hard)...

hugs to all who need them, and hope all the tidying/sorting goes well.

i might get to the spare room next i have a load to get done there.

I have a really big really heavy tv to get rid of. What can i do with it? HELP PLEASE!

By ditching it i will be forced to deal with everything around it but i am hoping to put some storage where it is currently sat so that should help. I hope. I am trying to be hard on myself but its not really working. If i can just get everything in order i think it will be easier to get rid of stuff. If i have somewhere to put the things i want to keep i can bin the stuff i dont.

Its worth a try i guess.
