    87 - cardboard box reused to send a package off

    Edging closer and closer to that goal. Have a pile of wallpaper on the floor of the bedroom, but not out yet as some is still attached to the wall!

    After having said I was just going to keep things tidy until I get back from holiday - I ventured up in the loft and made a start on organising thing up there.

    Out:


    - broken laptop - managed to safely retrieve the hard drive so saved old photos :-)


    Decanted stuff into freed up storage containers - 5 cardboard boxes to recycling


    Box of stuff to CS


    Pile of DS' old magazines to recycling


    Pleased to have made a start on such a big job.


    Sadly the rest of the house is a tip one again so need to do something about that tomorrow.


    Calley - best wishes for your fresh start.

    I'm going to be taking a break from the decluttering as am very unwell at the moment, having tests done and pretty much stuck in bed :( I've taken everything off of eBay except the ones with bids. I will try find someone to take them down the Post Office for me. As soon as I feel better will get back on with it but until then I'll just be watching everyone elses progress :D
