Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

short_bird

I may well have to declare at the current total as the only decluttering I'll get to do before the end of May is the 2 of us to Norfolk:D

Let's hope I don't see too many bargains, eh?:rotfl:

Oh I love going to Norfolk, we went in March and are off there again but different place on the 10th June. Have a great time.

I'm going to take a few bits into the charity shop this afternoon as I've got a Opticians appointment which will be decluttering a lot of money from me. It's gone all muggy and horrible here.

The bit that broke on my car has only "decluttered" £2.30 from me!! And OH and his dad are going to fix it for me so am very happy about that.

OK, am determined to do it. No possession is safe from scrutiny.

77. A necklace c.s.
78. Ditto.
79. A book- c.s.
80. A book- given to Mum.
81. Pair plimsolls. c.s.


Does dragging bags of couch grass off your allotment and taking them to the green waste section of the tip count as decluttering? If so, I'm in with a fighting chance of achieving my goal. Pls advise.

81/100 in May.

GQ, I counted 3 bags of rubbish and 2 empty screenwash bottles from a van that's only ours for 2 weeks, so I'm sure the lottie stuff counts at any time of year:D

The 20 year old mirror (i hate) over the fireplace .... has gone!:D

hmm, I;m coming very late to this but even just reading through everyone's posts has inspired me and I have just listed my children's old trampoline on freecycle.

More tomorrow xx:j

I'm persuaded!

82-87 A4 ringbinders - Freecycle.
88-93 6 big bags couch grass roots to the tip.
94. File dejunked- contents shredded and folder recycled.


Gosh, I'm getting there. This is addictive. The file section of my home is looking positively tidy. I have found my pension statements, which is always good for a laff. I shall be able to afford the odd can of beans in 20-odd years.:rotfl:

95/100 in May.

Keep it going, peeps, we're on a roll.

ETA 95. 2 oblong plastic food containers. Found out they were cracked but not before they leaked in the fridge as their contents defrosted.

95 carpet taken to tip, but couldnt fit bed base in car, will need to bash it up first, lol.
96 old frayed vertical blind slats, bin
97 more clothes flinging (dressy tops, work tops, knitwear, maternity)
98 broken magazine rack recycled

Oh my only two to go... These might be the spare room curtains (never liked them might replace them with the old ones from my room) and my bedroom lightshade. Both good condition and charity shoppable...

Will update tomorrow with what I decide...

Ditch 100 in May 130/100

127-128 WW Books - Mum
129 Lots of booklets/leaflets - Recycled
130 4 x Cushion Covers (beyond repair) - Bin

Hope to do a bit more tomorrow, as have spent today catching up on filing and have managed to spend quality time with my mum - so a great day but not much de-cluttering.

Keep up the great work :T

Night all x

Morning all, got to go to the salt mine but am on a late today so not out first thing. Realised of the handful of DVDs I borrowed from my brother, I have watched precisely one which can now go back to him. I should get around to the others and then they can be decluttered, too.

96. DVD back to brother.


96/100 in May..........nearly there.
