Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

basketcase

Woo hoo - made it to 100! :j And well done everybody! Doesn't it feel good to be less hemmed in by stuff?

75 Old cardigan with buttons removed (rubbish)
76-79 More holey tights
80-81 2 pairs scaffy knickers
82-88 Old gardening magazines re-housed
89-91 Old magazines (recycled)
92 Another bag of documents shredded
93-94 2 bags of paper to recycle
96 Bag of card to recycle
97 Bin bag of rubbish
98-99 2 Folders of filing to shred
100 Dead plant to bin

Off to change my signature.

Has anyone else found that listing what you declutter highlights your 'problem' areas?

For me it's obviously magazines/brochures etc and paperwork at the mo.

Few more from me today,

34 - cd player (temperamental but radio works ok) - Freecycle
35 -36 2 eBay parcels ready to go tomorrow, hopefully the others might pay before I go so I can get rid of more stuff!

Oooh and for anybody whos interested in my whirlwind I call life, I have a prospective job! Cleaning at the offices linked to the factory where my grandad works, only 6 hours a week but fingers crossed!

I've been away from the board for a few days due to me having a sinus infection so not doing much, DD2 has had tonsilitis yet again (hospital appointment this afternoon to discuss options!), and this morning at 6.15am DD1 was sick in her bed. So 3 out of the 4 of us are ill! Hence not much being done here.

Only a few things to report:
2 pairs of OH's work trousers in the recycling bin - he's been premoted at work from the warehouse to the office so his very very tatty trousers are no longer needed! Work jumpers and tops stored in wardrobe for gardening/messy jobs
Used up a few toiletries and recycled packaging
Sorted through DD2's trousers etc and she found about 10 items she didn't want/has grown out of
My brother visited on Saturday and sent him back with 4 items for my parents
Expired coupons to recycling bin (not too bad as not for anything I buy, held on to 'just in case'
Girls have found about 10 little (and I mean little!) things from the playroom they no longer want

That's probably it for now. Today I want to get some ironing done but not sure if that will happen. Will try to do some tidying I'd already got rid of loads of stuff by the time I saw the ditch 100 in January, so didn't count what we got rid of but will start counting tomorrow

Bit on info on videos and charity shops, hubby took my latest load to the British Heart Foundation and they said that they don't take videos but said that next door at the Salvation Army, they take them.
