Another 20 sewing patterns decluttered today. I seem to be making more mess as I get rid of things. I have received my sack from clothes for cash. Hopefully they will accept all my clothes and not decline to pay for some as I have heard they can do.

In the last few weeks:
-2 cardigans,a jumper,a pair of boots and some bras to the CS
-2 big bags of books and some dvds to the CS
-a big bag of dvds that I'm going to sell.

I've got a big,framed picture that has finally been hung up.It was sitting out in the hall for ages.

A few items are going down to the cellar room-a candle stick and few other odds and ends.

All this good work has been cancelled out by the two large bags of second-hand books that I bought recently at a book sale.:o

I deleted about 6,000 emails yesterday, does that count?

Seriously though, just found out that I'e been offered a new job which will mean moving! So I have to get cracking with the decluttering!

So far have managed to sell 5 things on ebay and got rid of a whole load of recycling so will make that

As they say cat, charity begins at home. The idea of charity is not to give if you can't afford it yourself. I get a bit cross with all the phone calls I get from people wanting money from me. Thankfully, our caller ID is working again so I don't answer the phone if the number is not a known one.

Thanks Kaz. I know we've given loads of stuff previously, and I always put a few pennies in the tin whenever I see someone collecting outside the supermarket etc, but it still makes me feel bad lol. I worry too much!

Anyway, my update:
47. 6 kids jigsaws sold via Facebook
48. 3 DVDs sold via FB
49. Pencil case/pencils/Barbie shoes/Book sold via FB
50. 5 items of kids clothes sold via FB
51. 2 ebay parcels posted
52. Packaging for above
53. dead pen taken apart and recycled/binned
54. old bottle of almost-used-up sticky calpol binned
55. about 10 old sample toothpaste tubes found in back of wardrobe OOD by about 8 months and tasted nasty - binned
56. Folder someone lent me for uni child study assignment that ran from 1998-2002 finally returned to rightful owner!
57. Card from stash delivered today (I seriously won't need to buy any more cards for ages unless I need a specific age one!)

Well I'm over half way there with a few days left. Don't think I'll make the 100, although if I counted individual items I would do, but I like to challenge myself!

57/100 in April

Out today:-
1 trailing socket, 1 aerial lead and an aerial, all gone to my dad's for his bedroom tv (which hasn't worked since the switchover as he has an old tv with just a built in aerial), all working perfectly now and he didn't need to pay out the £110 he was quoted to have a new aerial fitted!

Ditch 100 in April 70/100

Yesterday I tidied and sorted through two bookcases and have probably two more bags of books that I'll give to the CS.

I've put out a mass of redundant work-related paperwork to recycle.

One empty perfume bottle out too.I do have a perfume glut of four opened bottles and two sealed.:o

I really need to get on with this decluttering malarkey, it's never ending! It just seems that at the moment we have more stuff coming in than ever goes out of our little house :eek:
Keep going Kaz, keep going!
