Ditch 100 things in February 39/100

Finally got to the Post Office with the Zapper box. Got an apology from Zapper about the Courier mess up too which was nice.

I'm now £93 of Amazon vouchers better off...Closer to getting my Kindle! No more books to sell though so have to do more surveys.

Decluttered my jewellery box at the weekend. Gold and silver going to best mate's husband who's a jeweller so he's going to give me a price for it all, and the junky stuff in T'ebay bag at work for my mate to sell for me.

The Husband has agreed to take the electrical gubbins to the tip with me when he's off work next week (I don't drive so I have to persuade him it's a good idea). Do you think I should take old videos there too just to get rid? I'm getting embarrassed at the amount of times I've dropped stuff into my local CS now!:o

My husband and i did nothing but row yesterday.... it all started when i emptied his tool box of screws. Apparently having them in the house saves him from going down the shed. The day went downhill from then on.

I despair i really do.

How I sympathise. My OH spent 6 momths building himself an enormous work shop at bottom of garden - with full services - water electric. But for some reason its still OK to 'store' tools and boxes of bluddy screws on kitchen work top by back door :mad: and yes whenever I mention this the day pretty much goes down hill I also have the 'this is a useful bit of wood' debate on a regular basis - but apprantly I cant have useful bits of anything because that is clutter........... AAARRGGH!


Oh and I forgot to add the vast amount of chargers we have for heaven knows what.........................

February Challenge: 42/100

Lots of bidders and watchers on more ebay stuff that means hopefully more sales and more items and packaging decluttered. I have got a competition prize (a boardgame) and 2 small bottles of whisky that I got as freebies being decluttered to my dad as a birthday present too. I'm slowly getting my mum on board as well.

Another thing sold on ebay (I think that's the last of them for now - I hope so as they're messing up my no spend days!). That will go to the post office tomorrow.
Collection of birthday cards out for recycling.

Random de-cluttering question - how many sets of bed linen is reasonable to keep. There are two of us, we have a double bed, and a single bed for guests (rarely do we have guests, as getting into the spare room is a challenge and seeing the actual bed under all the rubbish in there is another challenge in itself). I have something like 10 double duvet covers, six double sheets, about 5 single duvet covers, 3 single sheets and at last count something like 40 odd pillow cases. I don't need all those, do I. I need to go through them, find all the sets, and get rid of the rest, don't I.
