101/100 May's Mission is complete
Well done and with days to spare0 -
Some very inspiring messages on here. Like others I have been taking advantage of the weather and doing outside chores such as "painting" the shed and garden bench so not much decluttering done. But have still done a little bit towards my target so here goes with achievements this week:
31 half empty tub of aqueous cream bbf 2007:eek:
32 2 used disposable razors
33/36 3 blouses - 2 to CS, 1 for rags
37/38 2 items sold on EB (not actually posted but all ready for PO tomorrow and have recycled envelopes for packaging which is a bit more decluttering)
39 assorted newspaper magazines which I "saved" from the weekly recycling because I hadn't read them. Well some of them are 6 months old so I'm not going to read them now so into the recycling bag
40 tin of wood treatment used up and empty tin binned
so current total 40/100 for May/June0 -
I'm too hot to move but I have found a file of training notes from 2003 (was looking for something else, no idea they were still on the premises).
Have shredded the confidential stuff and turned the remainder into quarters to be used as notes. As I have a head like a sieve, I write myself a lot of notes.:o
68/100 in May.

That is some serious flinging chocolate drinker! I have lost count here.Must be well over the 100 mark - a combination of CS, Bin,Eb*y, NCT sale,recycling and Fr**gle. Still not made a dent in it:(Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi
