Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

marmiterulesok

I've done loads today!Too hot to go out.
So,here goes:
-2 plastic folders to cellar
-3 dvds to cs
-43 books including 4 coffee table books to cs
-1 tape measure to cs
-1 box used as a cat basket recycled -HRF (Her Royal Furriness) doesn't use it.

I've tidied one drawer and discovered I had 7 small boxes of staples.:o

I dusted the sitting room and most of my hanging pictures.The main difference is that I sorted,wiped down and tidied away 2 big bags of books that have been sitting in a corner of my bedroom for the last few months.I live in a tiny flat,so that's quite a difference!

I just have a few piles of paperwork to sort through now.

Can I join this thread? I think my house would benefit from being decluttered. I like the idea of getting rid of 100 things in July.

I emptied out the cupboard under the stairs on Tuesday (thankfully, as the meter reader came round yesterday afternoon!). I have filled up our great big wheelie bin, 1 car load of gubbins taken to tip. Also, 1 heater hung on utility room wall (yay finally!). A few more bits and pieces to do there but it's coming together.

hi everyone I would also like to join for July please. I'm starting today with 6 CD's I've ebayed, an old tv/video combo that hasn't worked since switchover, it's analogue aerial and a broken ipod dock. Think that gets me to 9 already!

Hi happy chick and Aldahbra and welcome! :wave:

It's a great motivator to see the numbers go up!

sue14 I forgot to say the other day,hope that you're feeling better.

I don't know if I'll manage much today,as I'll be out most of the day.I've got a few things in the cellar that I might be able to drop of at the cs on the way into town.If so I'll post later.

New to this and would love to join please. Have a bit of a problem...no storage space in house, literally, not even a cupboard to put the Hoover & ironing board into. Spend time doing Lots of crafts: card making, sewing, drawing, make do & mending, etc. Am I a lost cause or is there hope even for me? Would LOVE to have a clutter free home, especially as we are hoping to move in the next two years. Any advice would be welcome, also willing to offer hints etc for altering clothes instead of buying new ones. Love frugality and hate waste, am I in the right place LOL?
