Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

Sorted out 3 bags of old kids clothes ready to take to Cash for Clothes on Tuesday. Hope to do some more tomorrow. Not worth trying to sell but nice man at C4C always gives me a bit extra!

Not every bit of clutter needs to leave our homes - some just needs putting in its rightful place! Good work, Flowers! :A

I agree, if it's in the wrong place or not being used it's clutter, but in the right place or being used it's not clutter, so can be counted.


Today I found another sheet and one of OH's t-shirts for CS, and put an empty shower gel bottle, body spray can, and deodorant can in recycling.

Bag for CS - part summer clothes cull, part book cull by DS
Also had a mini de-clutter in the garden - found 4 perfectly serviceable storage boxes in the shed- they will be going in loft to help get that organised - I was thinking of buying some !


Also found beautiful framed print behind kitchen dresser - can't imagine how it got there - feeling a bit ashamed of myself for forgetting I owned it - it was a gift from an artist friend and I really do like it.

Had a great weekend for clearing out.

5 bin bags taken to the cs
3 bin bags to the dump
1 large box of crockery to cs
40 items currently listed on eBay

It feels really good to clear things out. All the kitchen cupboards have been cleaned and sorted, 2 bedrooms de cluttered and another 2 to go then I will start on the dreaded loft.

180 - 200) Items sold at a vintage fair on Saturday where I had a stall.
More to go out as I found quite a lot when unearthing for the fair but haven't had chance to count and bag up.

Felt like doing some indoor decluttering yesterday, in a spare moment. So I grabbed a bin-bag and just wandered round the house for 10 minutes, collecting about 12 items. Still have to sort them for donating/selling.

Any day now, I shall be getting an order of assorted plastic mail bags from Ebuy, so I can start selling clutter on there. :T

I have had the biggest de clutter of my life.

My husband left me a couple of weeks ago, taking half the contents of the house with him. I did say he could take what he wanted to be fair.

I was told that my living room looked like

1) someone had done a runner or
2) that I had been[FONT=&quot]burgled[/FONT][FONT=&quot] :eek:[/FONT]


Anyway spent most of the weekend tidying up the living room and finishing off the kitchen. It is amazing how long things are staying tidy now it is only me left in the house.


Now I have two bed rooms to tidy one is my study/ craft room :rotfl:and the other is my husbands bedroom. And the extension.


I even had to take some bin bags around the tip as I did not have enough room in my bin :rotfl:


I still have two boxes to go through of stuff but they are behind the door so I can take my time looking through those.


Mentally I feel so much better.


Yours

I think I am through it. We split between Xmas and new year and we only went public at the start of March and he found somewhere to live and moved out.

I am no way ready to start to live with someone else. I was worried about living on my own and now I am loving it. If there is a mess I made it and no one else. But just so much easier keep to tidy and clear.

Mind you it might be because there is not a lot of stuff left in the house:rotfl:
