  • Hi everyone,

    Looks like everyone is doing brilliantly - I have a bit of catching up to do!

    Sold my wedding dress, fertility monitor machine and an unused character ovenglove on ebay so they are gone!

    Added a few more items to the charity bag.

    My adopted children have moved in, so I have gone through some of their trackie bottoms, underwear and socks that had seen better days and these have gone in the bin (with their permission and in exchange for new ones!) Youngest has a broken zip on his anorak so this will go as soon as I get him a new one (he is almost grown out of it as well).

    Have finished listing the books on greenmetropolis. I will leave these listed for two months then will simply take to the charity shop if not sold.

    I gave a load more IT stuff to a local recycling charity as I had nowhere to store it now the children are in what was my bigger old office and the office is in a smaller room!
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    Hi all, not been on this thread for a while as I lost all motivation and got distracted with uni work.
    Anyway, I got back into decluttering last night and sorted through the airing cupboard. Have relocated 5 childrens duvet sets to my sisters house. I will list a few more and some fleece blankets on freecycle.
    Sorted through my clothes and have filled a black bags worth that will go into a charity bag for collection.
    Only sold 1 thing on ebay, but I might get some stuff listed this weekend.

    Congratulations, Angela. Must be lovely having them home at last!

    I seemed to have two star drops bottles on the go so have poured the remnants of one into the other, and then binned the empty.

    96/100

    Love it!


    I also had an unidentified item on my tax code notice, so after a half hour queue, got through to the tax fairy, who has decluttered my tax code, and may be able to ditch two items for me. Yaay, maybe my tax allowance won't be in the negative figures, after all!!!

    Away with the fairies :beer:
  • DD (age 2) has just decluttered a huge bowl of rice crispies and a whole malt loaf for lunch!:eek:

    I am hoping to do some decluttering on sunday and sell some jewellery I have made as I am going to share a stall at a charity fair on sunday. (Hoping I do better than last time I had a stall - xmas craft fair - sold 1 x 50p card :eek:)
