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!My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |

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!My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |

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.0

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.0 -
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!0
