    Some great decluttering going on, well done everyone.

    First day of school holidays and I'm in the mood to declutter. As I am planning on doing lots of homecooking and baking over the next 2 weeks thought I'd start on the kitchen. I've been making a list as I go of things I need to buy for the food cupboards and replace, my frying pan really needs to go.

    I also ran the washing machine on empty with a good slush of vinegar - might as well declutter the gunk that builds up.

    The bread machine has been on to use up some bread flour.

    The cupboards are looking great, they have been emptied, scrubbed, decluttered and reorganised. Lots of stuff recycled and thrown. I've still got a couple of drawers to do then it's the work surfaces.

    Too much stuff to list but I reckon at least 50:eek:

    Will update later.

    Blimey Sue, hope you had a sit down after that lot! I feel inadequate now!

    I certainly needed a sit down, and a nice cold drink, lol!

    46. Bra, wouldn't want to be seen in it!:o

    That reminds me, I've got at least 2 I need to get rid of!

    Let's face it, when a day's that bad chocolate is the only answer.

    So true, lol!


    I think this just goes to prove that I keep useless things just in case.

    Me too!

    Well done everyone.:D

    Today OH took all the CS stuff to shop, along with another bag of clothes (10 items) that I found in the shed, and took all recycling to waste site along with an old dining table (that has been in the shed for years and was a bit wrecked), and 2 bits of wood, and I shredded/recycled a pile of paperwork and put some cardboard packaging and dead flowers into garden waste bin.

    Ladies and Gents, I am going to bow out for April. I might keep lurking, and will probably join in again in May. I've done a couple of months, and am pleased with that. Just need to focus on my little ones and myself getting us well, and ready for our hols in a couple of weeks.
    Good luck for the April Attack!!!

    Congratulations on the couple of months you have done. Have some time with your little ones, and have a great time on your holidays, you deserve it.

    Hopefully see you back here soon x
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D
