Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

EndlessStruggle

I'm about to start on the eBay. I have so much stuff to list still. Hoping to get it all done today, am putting some books into joblots as better than selling individually. Going to stick a movie on too and get going, I still have so much stuff. I've sold about 100 items over the last 3 months, since starting this year.

CS:
104. - 107. wrong size bedding (was right up at the back of top shelf)
108 -109. mock patchwork pillow shams

112. another cardi
113. large but ugly beachtowel - none of the family want it, such is its ugliness

Bin:
114. very dead hot water bottle
115. comb with missing teeth


edit: 116 - 117. 2 discoloured bath mats (CS ragbag)

:(:(:( I need to get back on the wagon. Typical me, I threw myself into this challenge in January, but come March life has taken over and my interest/self-discipline has waned and I'm back to square one.

By the end of this weekend I want to have sorted through the 'office'. It's been a dumping ground for weeks and is full of clutter. If memory serves me right I will find a draw full :eek: of post-its, because a while ago I had a thing for the stickies with fancy/unusual designs and bought loads off ebay...

Here goes for another try... :eek::o:o:o:o

Still haven't finished my huge zapper list so they are still to leave the building! Over the past few days I have been slacking due to kids being at home!

21) pile of paper scraps from dd's doodling recycled
22) pile of OH's letters and documents sorted and disposed of appropriately, wish he would sort them himself but he just leaves them to pile up till they annoy me!
23-27) glass jars and plastic bottles cluttering around the kitchen sink, recycled
28) ds's electronic toy broken so binned
29) broken skipping rope binned
30) couple of birthday cards from stash used up for dd's friends
31) bag of rubbish from upstairs bins, no idea how these fill up so fast!
32) ripped boxers belonging to other half, binned! He wears scruffy ones for rugby training but these had a huge hole in the crotch

eBay decluttering continues tonight as its free listing all wknd

I was planning to just lurk, this month, but it seems that I've inadvertently joined in!

I've been intending to take some stuff to the tip (20 mile round trip!) and as it was a nice day yesterday, I did it, in combination with my monthly supermarket shop. (Completely forgot about Easter and couldn't figure out why it was so busy! :rotfl:)

Anyway:

1. Printer - defunct, to tip
2. Leccy blanket - ditto
3. Blown up sausage machine - ditto
4&5 Bin bags of Roto3tak gerbil housing - cs

Hey, that looks good! Might do some more! :T

Decluttered in April.. 4/100

1 binbag full to bursting with 'bits' from the girls room
1 pack baby bodysuits I bought for the baby and never used, sent them home with DS1 today.
1 binbag from the boys room
1 broken wooden spoon

My sister never got back to me about the bookcase.. I wish I had never bought her it now.. I might put it up and use it, she obviously doesn't want it!

First day of OH's extended weekend off work and I've had him working already lol . We all ventured into the playroom aka dumping ground for anything belonging to the kids. We spent quite a while in there returning everything to it's rightful place, dusting, hoovering and I even washed the floor! We managed to ditch:

11. 2 charity bags crammed full of recycling (junk modelling no longer wanted, random bits of paper, boxes etc)
12. Small bag of rubbish
13. A bag of approx 7 items to sell, proceeds of which go in the girls holiday money pot

We're going to my parent's on Sunday and leaving the kids there until Thursday (they have them over every Easter and summer hols for a few days which is nice for all concerned!) and have the following sat ready to go (listing now as prob won't be back on before we go plus I've got plenty of jobs lined up to do whilst the girls are away!):

14. Jam jars returned to mum to refill
15. Tupperware returned to mum
16. Freebie t shirt to dad
17. Easter cards from the statsh and egg for my brother
18. Birthday cards and presents for Nan
19. Belated Mother's Day stuff for mum

Even if I don't get rid of loads whilst the girls are away (they are also going to their dad's next Friday until Sunday, so a very quiet but hopefully productive week for me) I intend to give the house a deep clean and tidy up.

This week I posted an ebay parcel, still waiting on payment for another. I also put in CS box:-

4 x PS1 games
8 x 7" vinyls
2 x 12" vinyls
2 x CD albums
9 x CD singles

I am gradually sorting through my vinyl collection, which I haven't played for years, so there will probably be a lot more to go later. Also did another pile of shredding, and put junk mail in recycling.

I was hoping to get some sorting done in the shed over the Easter weekend, but it's not supposed to be very nice weather, so that may have to wait until another week!

Ditch 100 in April 28/100
