    I just cleaned my bedroom window, wow it looks like a different room!! Going to get a bit of decluttering done this afternoon. Can't really do eBay or too much as I am off on holiday next week.

    Enjoy your holiday. Hope you'll get away from this dreadful weather, I've got the heating on!

    I've only managed to throw some old nail varnishes away today and some ancient body lotion, it smells awful! No wonder I didn't use the lotion and it's been cluttering the dressing table far too long.

    25. Bundle of wrapping, spattered with coffee spilt by DD - in the bin, together with lots of soggy kitchen roll used to mop up spill from carpet :wall:

    Another ebay parcel gone today, plus 10 other items of assorted tat from the dining room.

    I have one cupboard left to do in there but I'm leaving that for now as its a horrific one. Will move on to my wardrobe as I have now room in one of the dining room cupboard for my yarn stash which is currently in there.

    My sister and I used to be happily amused for hours playing with the buttons in my Mum's button box.I especially liked the pink ones with the poodle's head.

    My button box is inherited from my mum, dd picked her 5 favorites which were much the same as mine when i was little :rotfl:

    Back on topic, I'm about to tackle the bathroom cabinet when I clean in there. Also have ordered dd some crocs from ebay so will have 1 item coming into the house but I'm quiet relaxed about it as I have got rid of so much.

    I was another happy button player as a child :D

    26. large porcelain bowl, looking cracked and unhygienic - into the bin
    27. 2 cardboard crates & one polystyrene one - out for re-use by the fruit & veg delivery company
    28. bag of coloured glass - to the recycle bin in the high street
    29. child's cycle helmet - to friend's little boy

    Happy decluttering!
