You lot are very inspiring
I've been decluttering at work too. Giving away nick-nacks to people. Just want less stuff. More of what I like, less of what I don't like.
Got rid of some PC bits on Freegle/Freecycle today. What I find amazing about that is I always think I'm not sure if this will go, but they always do.Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

I have some more outs, I just decluttered the kitchen cupboards and 3 huge bags of out of date food. Am cluttering out an old laptop battery and in another new one. I have 3 old computers that are dead, I think I might take these to the tip too I have tried selling for parts but they are kind of old computers so no interest. Any suggestions on how to ensure all data is destroyed. I think we might just keep the hard drives.
Spreadsheet has hit the £300 in profit mark. Still got plenty of stuff for eBay! I made £400 on my post uni declutter in 2008 so hoping to beat that this time.0 -
100 - 135) Items sold on webuybooks and zapper and 2 more boxes to contain the stuff. (I won't count the bubble wrap and bags that have gone as packaging:D)

I have been having a massive declutter as well. This past week I have:
Sold an old necklace and bracelet I have never worn, an old broken phone, some Avon primer half used, a lipstick, a perfume bottle, a carafe that looked lovely but was just gathering dust, a photo frame still in it's packaging and a few other bits on eBay - listed 20 more this week...
Given away two boxes of boot sale stuff, a money plant, a plant pot, a kitchen sink (yes really), a tap from a bidet (err, yes really - the bidet was broken up as no one wanted it, surprisingly), a broken lamp and shade, books, a venetian blind, a duvet cover and some old towels and tea towels..and some other stuff I can't remember - all on freecycle/freegle
I have recycled two magazines (okay slightly pathetic)
And I boxed up 89 CDs and DVDs and put them on Music Magpie, collection on Tuesday.
But there is still loads to go....!! I'm not even a hoarder, honest! The kitchen sink was in use for a couple of weeks ago, and the bidet was in our bathroom but was never used and I was sick of the sight of it, not to mention it was wasting space.I have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off
