    well i decluttered my kitchen and had two great big large boxes of stuff i advertised on freecycle and a lovely lady requested it for a dementia day care centre - she said they always needed plates etc and mugs. She collected on time and gave me a box of chocolates how kind of her !

    I've found another show on Decluttering on 4oD. It's called Making Space not sure if it's any good but might keep motivation high.

    Hello

    Managed to finish decorating the bathroom so the rolls of wallpaper that were sitting in the bedroom have now gone on the bathroom walls. Even though the boys rooms were cleaned only 3 weeks ago I managed to find stuff to recycle/throw.
    The wheelie bin was full and the recycling boxes bursting when they were emptied this morning.

    Have a good evening.

    Me too, it's easy to see how these people have got into "hoarding" and it's associated problems

    Well I cant believe we've got to the 9th already and I havent declared any outs, I have been keeping on top of the general day-to-day stuff - post, recycling and generally using up part bottles/tubes/packets etc.

    I have also been round and collected all the candles from around the house (I only ever burn them in the lounge and kitchen so why do I have them all over?) and they are all in one box along with a load of oils that I am using up too.

    Keep up the great work everyone, I love popping by every day and seeing how well your are all doing, I just need to get moving and DO SOMETHING!!!!
