I am now on holiday for a week and decluttering will commence when I have finished decluttering the wine I have just opened:), looking forward to a productive week.

7 eBay items posted today. Wooo. 57 items listed at the moment but will put many more on this weekend as it is the free listing. Have filled our recycling bin up too and the charity shop and tip bag is getting bigger! Getting there very slowly, but there is progress!

I've got loads ending tomorrow currently at 99p starting so will just relist them starting at £1 lol.

I dropped off four large bags at the charity shop after work today. It feels so good - no regrets yet! I'm determined to finish the spare room before I go to bed. It might not be tidy (and will probably need a good dust and hoover), but the unwanted clutter will be out.

I've started the next charity shop bag - 10 items of clothing - and have 4 things to chuck. Counting really helps motivate me, although once I reach 148 (to make up for the shortfall in January!), I'll probably stop counting but carry on de-cluttering.

Have a fruitful de-cluttering weekend everyone - thank you for keeping me motivated!:T

I've got another load of stuff collected and put in the "To List" box under my bed. Think I'm finally getting mum on board with the decluttering as we are going to do under the stairs and hallway, I say we I mean I will show things to her or put them in a box and say Keep, sell or rag. We have like 60 pairs of shoes rammed under there and we wear very few pairs of them!

Two phone directories and four catalogues into the recycling. Why on earth do I have catalogues going back two years when I can't remember the last time I bought anything out of them.

Have realised that books will always be my problem, so at least if I get rid of a load of carp, I will have more room for books

This is me too! I've got boxes and boxes of books in the loft that I need to liberate after de-cluttering the house.

I didn't quite manage to finish the spare room but I woke up early this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. So, the de-cluttering continues, all from the spare room:

6 items for the bin
1 bag of rubbish
1 bag of recycling
1 bag of carrier bags
6 items for charity shop
7 books to charity shop - very proud of this!!!:j

102/100 ditched in February

The shameful thing about the spare room is that 99% of the clutter / rubbish is mine and not OH's!

17. the third bra that doesn't fit ...all were sale bargains and I 'forgot' that style is just not suitable for me. CS
18, 19. two cartons very out of date OJ that were pushed right to the back of the cupboard - down the drain & tetra pack recycled
20, 21 craft items into box for DD.

I sold 6 items on ebay yesterday so that will be a few more out on Monday when I get them posted. 16 more items due to end today, only 3 have bids on so far but lots of watchers, and one with a bid is a big item so hoping they will want to collect this weekend!

Plan for today is ebay listings. I will spend most of the morning taking photos then I can list this evening once the kids are in bed.

I have decluttered a few more items some toys to my box going to nct sale (I will include these when they have sold), a few more items to take to mums.

Ds2 and i decluttered the toy corners in the living room yesterday and i managed to sneakily fill 2 carrier bags with his drawings. He draws so many pictures i can't keep up. I also gave OH 2 glass jars that i've been keeping because they are so old. They take up so much space and i couldn't find a home for them so they've gone.

54-64 Ds2's drawings in recycling
65-66 2 cardboard boxes from Ds2's toy corner in recycling
67-68 2 glass jars to OH
