Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

60. Old broken car DVD player sold on ebay
61. Per Una top sold on ebay
62. A tray of paints the children used to use but are horrible now
63. Some fossilised daffodil bulbs that have not been planted for 2 years and which I am sure are past it now.

So that's it - only got to 63 items in January. But it's 63 I might not have otherwise - and in reality there were well over 100 "things". I shall continue till I have 100 entries.

Ditch 100 in January (February) challenge 63/100

This may be a silly question but I've never done this before!

I'm currently packing up a load of books for Amazon Trade In and Zapper. (Thank you this thread for the tip!) I've got them in cardboard boxes from work but they say things on the side from what was in them before. I don't have to cover all the box up before I put a big address label on do I?:o

Nope, as long as the address label is clearly visible (and maybe cross out any old delivery addresses!). I sent my last lot off in a Doritos box

I haven't made it to 100 but there's been way more than 100 items because I was counting a whole bag of books to CS as one. It all counts though, and I'll carry on next month and try really hard to reach the 100 - oh yes I forgot, haven't dared start DD room, I'll get to the 100 easily when I start that :rotfl: Trouble is, I need her permission to throw stuff away!

Well done to all, we've done really well, and good luck if you're carrying on into February

That's brilliant, greengoblin, thank you!:)

Last determined effort!
Teaset has gone to SIL for candles - I love it, but have never used it, and at least this way I'll see it being used and enjoyed.
Old tatty car mats have gone, replaced by some snazzy ones with a blue trim to match the car:rotfl:
A whole carrier bag full of random carp from the laundry room floor - the wall gets plastered tomorrow so had to be done (I need that sort of boot up the bum frequently to clear the really boring places!)
And finally, another stretched canvas has found a new home!

Sig updated, off to get a good night's sleep with everything crossed my landlady actually does me a reference overnight (she's in Australia) so I can get a moving date.....

We started to declutter for serious during the period between Christmas ans New Year, as we had finished re-decorating our bedroom. Now only the backroom full of boxes and books to sort! Only approx 1000 books to sort:( Plus 1 old large TV and 1 of the first large Flat screen tv to find homes for.
A lot of surplus clothing went to a local company that pays 40p a kilo hence my signature!:rotfl:Paperwork was sorted on Boxing day I know Im a saddo but it needed doing!:rotfl:So instead of 3 boxes of paperwork I now have have 1 small organiser box and 1 banna box with paperwork that cannot be thrown away. Its a lovely feeling to see the space left behind.

Sorry I haven't been around much but been really busy as DH been away in USA for 8 days with work so I've been rushing around like a headless chicken :eek:!

I'm going to do a February challenge of getting rid of 100 things; will list as things go rather than ready to go and sat in my cupboard gathering dust!!!
