    83-86 been through the paper pile and recycled mags, leaflets, and envelopes, and binned the plastic sleeves.

    Have 6 items / bundles on eBay, 3 of which have bids, and one bundle has over 20 items, so technically I'll be over if they pay in time!

    Had to go to the supermarket so took the large bag of ragging clothes and dropped them off at the fabric bank there. Lovely to have that space back again :)

    106. bubble bath used up - bottle rinsed to make sure - and bottle recycled.
    107 - 8. tins used up from food cupboard (getting silly in there as there's too many of the same items iyswim).


    108/100 ditched in March

    I have decided I need to be back here... so if I wander off come drag me back!!!

    I will jump in for the 100 in March and the 366 fling.. I can do these easily and probably more. If there were more than 4 days left of March I would make it 500 lol.

    Anyway.. today the kitchen is being gutted to make room for my new freezer which will be here about 11am..

    I have 4 binbags ready to be dropped at charity shop already but I must filter through DD3's clothes again and sort the small baby things into relevant size boxes.

    Ok I am back, will start my April challenge as seem to have missed march :A. I have been chipping away at the decluttering but nothing too substantial so need to be back on the bandwagon.

    1-39) box of books to zapper
    40-49) eBay items (posting this afternoon so counting them in
    50) bag of recycled documents/instructions for stuff we no longer have
    60) pair of holey tights
    61) box of condoms :eek: found at back of my underwear drawer with date use by 2005 :rotfl:Used after having dd 8 yrs ago
    62-66) old underwear (can you tell I have been sorting my underwear drawer!)

    Ok looking at that lot I think I may actually be able to reach 100 by the end of the month so there is a challenge for me!

    :j Hello!!!

    We are doing 100 per month at the moment here. I'm at 82 so far. I managed 100 last month and can really tell a difference. Sorted DD holiday clothes and even had drawer space to put them in!

    I've got a day of without tots tomorrow so will crack on then, although I do need some holiday things myself, not been away and not pregnant for many years lol might even end up with a net inflow yikes.

    [EMAIL="Eb@y"]Eb@y[/EMAIL] items end Thursday night.

    ooh 100 things a month? I think I'll aim for this too, although I'm not sure I'll be able to list it all on here!

    I've got a whole load of bags (at least 5) waiting to go to the charity shop at home, and these have been waiting for at least 3 months. One of the problems I find - can often find stuff to declutter but it's getting it out to the CS that is my biggest procrastination. So I'm dropping them off on Friday morning (day off work) to the CS, and I'll load them into the car on Thursday night in preparation as well :)
    Decided I'll have to declutter my son's clothes when he's not there as he wants to keep everything! Even things that no longer fit him.

    Anyway, thanks for the inspiration :) x

    Hi all, thanks again for the huge motivation I get from this thread. I feel really rotten today with sinusitis but after catching up with the posts, feel like I need to keep on keeping on!

    34 & 35 My first ebay packages sent. How did I not realise how easy it is?:o
    36. Half a huge bag of dog food which gives mine the runs (sorry, tmi:eek:!). To animal shelter.
    37. Box that daughter had used to make 'stage' for puppet show. Recycled as had been left untouched on dining room floor for a week!

    Got some other bits to photograph, dd has decided she isn't wearing dresses or skirts ever again so might as well sell the really girly stuff!

    Beautiful day here, hope everyone's got some sun.:)
