    Hi - just discovered this thread, is there a July challenge started yet? If so I'd like to go for it with 100 items :)

    Just today I have got rid of:

    A pile of old birthday cards with little/no sentimental value - recycling
    A load of old folded up bits of tin foil that were too dirty to reuse - recycling
    Some old takeout menus - recycling
    A few pairs of pram shoes my DS never wore - Ebay
    A set of Twilight themed notebooks - Ebay

    Looking forward to seeing how much more I can get rid of in July!

    Just sold a load of 7" singles to a friend who I know will appreciate them, didn't want to put them on Ebay as they're very niche. Doing well already!

    Too many things gone to list today, but at last it seems to be making a difference and floors and some surfaces are clear and clean! My parents are coming tomorrow, and after they've gone we'll make a start on the inside of cupboards and wardrobes and then the garage of doom.

    I've managed two trips to the cs yesterday and one today and also a trip to the church with all my decluttered books.

    I think I've reached 200 now as I've added:
    -1 picture frame and picture
    -2 cushions
    -2 cutlery trays
    -1 wicker basket
    -6 tins
    -1 tupperware container
    -3 books
    all to the cs

    -1 cooking spatula
    -1 cat blanket
    -1 cat scratching post

    all seen better days-binned plus a whole load of carboard and paper packaging recycled.

    14 jars recycled

    Still more to be done though,but enough for today.

    Starting to take the bookshelves seriously at last. Many books put aside for cs, but they are still here so I won't list them yet. But into recycling has gone:
    20 books
    214 booklets
    Tomorrow is another day!
