Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

gien

So my first attempt at decluttering went well!
1. All the soft squidgy or mouldy food in fridge - gone!
2. Big stack of daughter's scribblings - recycling
3. Small stack of plastic pots (old marg containers etc) - bin

Tomorrow it's the cardboard collection so I have a bit to put out for that.
I think I'll try and do the fly lady thing and do 15 minutes of decluttering a day - start small and build up seems to be sensible

Well done declutterers :j

12. Nail varnish gone thin - in the bin
13. More packaging - in the bin
14. Old snack bars looking sad - in the bin
15. All rubbish from handbag (!) - in the bin.

That's me done for today.

Back tomorrow!

Got the go ahead to move stuff into new place of work:j which means I can concentrate more on my own clutter rather than clever storage of yet more stuff:D Will be having another great clear out at weekend:j

51-63=12 pairs of shell earring made by me listed on eBay
64-88=24 green pendants listed on eBay
89 =polo shirt listed on eBay
90=3pc teaser listed on eBay
91=cat plaque listed on, yes you guessed it, eBay!
92=collection of turquoise jewellery listed on eBay
93=collection of crystals listed on eBay
94-134=40 pink pendants listed on eBay
135-157=23 pink & orange pendants listed on eBay
158-175=17 goldstone pendants listed on eBay

I haven't even made a hole! Am estimating making around £75 (fingers crossed) as a minimum so that can go in the savings. I am very surprised as we did a HUGE eBay in April which raised £1300. Still can't find the hole where all this lot has made any space yet...

I never thought this would happen but the whole family is going to join me on the decluttering mission in their own houses and mine!

Wow,that's great!

Well, I went through the food stock and binned the out of date stuff, and generally tidied up that area of the kitchen.

Also binned a big bag full of rags, along with some old mags, and general tit tat that was just lying around for some reason.

And, OH and I made a start on moving some of the things out of the way for the workmen. The old washing machine has now been disconnected, and the draining process started!

Ahhhhhh

Still more to do of course, but am glad I started! Thanks for the much needed boot up the backside peeps!

Norris: What day are your bins emptied (or binbags removed) and do you get a recycling collection where you are?

Will the delivery guys take the packaging?:D

On Thursdays, so tomorrow morning. Although, last week, I got up early JUST to put out the rubbish on time, and at 1pm, they still hadn't shown! Grrrr! They did show eventually, I'm just annoyed that I bothered to get up early! lol

No, no recycling collection on our street, unfortunately.

And....I don't know....

This morning I put out 13 bags for the doorstep collection and they've just gone. So pleased because - I've just had a phone from friends to say they are half an hour away and would see me soon. I had forgotten they were coming, I can't even remember if they are staying overnight But at least they can walk through the house, the kitchen is almost repectable and it won't take long to make up any beds I need. Now I know why I need to keep pushing on with all this.

Good morning everyone

After a slow start, I have:

2. Another bag of shred from the filing cabinet
3. Another box of recycling from the filing cabinet
4-13. 10 books to local drama group for their book stall

Have sold three things on Ebay, but won't count them until they're paid for and posted.
