museumworker

Morning all! Out to lunch in a bit, but have a bit more from yesterday to declare:
+ broken water pistol - recycling
+ book - friend
+ book - charity shop
+ jar - recycling

Everyone is going great guns, really inspiring!

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...

99 old bits of gripper rod taken up - fling
100 packaging from mirror - fling/recycle

:T:T:T:T:T

Yaay! Am very pleased! Suspect I will have more to go next month when I can move back into my own bedroom, and start making some sense of the spare room I am currently inhabiting...

I've got 3 parcels to go and post very shortly, just need to put them in envelopes. It is so much effort, far too hot to do anything!

The suns gone in so going to run down the post office

97 & 98 Bags of couch grass to the green waste tip.

98/100 in May.

Did a quick c.s drop on the way to w*rk so some of the things itemised earlier are physically off the premises and not just bagged and ready to roll. It's a good feeling to be "reverse shopping" as I call it.

Had a quick sort out of a bedroom drawer yesterday and as a result 21 items were put into the charity bag and taken to Oxfam. :j I asked for the M&S voucher to be for June instead of May so that I wasn't tempted to go shopping there and potentially end up with more "stuff".

Also listed some more things for auction but won't count anything until they are sold and mailed.

We were going to have visitors this Sunday but they have postponed so I intend to do some more decluttering over the 4 days' holiday.

So my new total is 61/100

I originally set myself a target of 100 during May and June (as I only found this thread mid way through May) but am now thinking that I should revise this to 200 for the 2 months It is just so inspiring reading all the achievements here :T

I am still flinging but at the same time I am having to bring home a mountain of stuff from work as I am moving to another location and I know it will 'disappear' if I dont keep my eye on it - so fling at work and fling at home in order to fit in what I bring home - at least its only temporary until September and I am being forced to create the space at home. So I will look forward to "Jettisoning in June" :rotfl: and this time I will keep a better count

101-an old sports watch to cs
102-105 four pairs of shoes to cs

112-117 six books to cs
118-some old,frozen wild garlic binned as now totally tasteless
119 an empty perfume bottle binned

I also got round to taking a whole load of books to the cs yesterday,but they've alredy been listed I think.Oh and I bought four books there.:oAs if I don't have enough...

I've just cleared out the space between the fridge and the linen cupboard,where all the paper,plastic and heavy duty plastic bags go.

I've gone through the linen cupboard and have found 3 objects to go out to the cs.

Sorting through all the various bags,I have a bag of plastic bags to go out and a big bag of paper to go out.I've got more plastic bags in the cellar,so I'll put them all out together.

I even managed to get behind the cupboards to get at the dust.:D

Two more pens to go out as well.

The cupboard's pushed right against the wall now and I have a small space to put various shopping bags.I'm going to try and keep this in a manageable state.:cool:

Yaay :j I've cleared one kitchen cupboard.

I'm ashamed to admit that I found a coulis sauce dated 2006, I've confessed to you all.

I don't know about you but I still have plenty to clear.

Also gave two single duvet covers to a friend.

Jettison June sounds good, keep up the good work.

^ These part baked rolls were decluttered out of one of my cupboards, it was so old 2004 I think it has shrunk all the packaging in some weird vacuum effect.
