    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?

    Welcome to all newbies and good luck with the challenge.

    We have had a great start to the weekend. OH took 4 plastic containers to a friend's house today that we have stored in our utility room on behalf of his friend for a couple of years. Utility room looks so much better now. We are having a very social weekend so not aiming for much decluttering. My aim is to make some paper logs and re-plant some of our house plants.

    Good luck to you all.
    No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j
