Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

EndlessStruggle

Been a busy day for me, I decided to clean most of the windows in the house. I beg of you if I ever say I am going to clean the windows please please talk me out of it! I was literally dripping with sweat, was pretty gross lol but nice and sparkly. Then a big Tesco shop, they had an electronic scale for £9 so I bought it for eBay sales as still lots to go. It's getting there though Nothing much out except some old food.

I would also add that every out is a success, some people declutter quicker than others. I'm on a slow but steady and selling what I can declutter but everyone does it different.

i'm gearing up for another bash at the declutter and organise mission.

Started today with the toiletry stash. Very little to actually get rid of as it is pretty much all stuff I'd use. Not necessarily my preferred choice of brands, but I'm using up what I have before buying new and have very gradually reduced the stash over the past few years. General toiletry spends are very low as a result. Did chuck a few bits that were past it, have a pile of empty bottles to wash for the recycling too. I'd kept them to use for travelling as they are all 100ml or less, but I have a HUGE stash of miniatures to work through and it will be a very, very long time before I'd need them. If the need arises I can always buy a proper travel bottle set (any excuse to indulge my love of muji )

If you are managing normal stuff on a daily basis you are doing really well. Anything more than this is a bonus. Keep plodding and be gentle with yourself, you will get there. ((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))) xx And do pm me if you need. Thinking of you x

Thank you so much for your kind words, if I knew what to say I'd pm you but your support means a lot. Thank you :A

Hi everyone,

I am assuming that my estimate of 50 items gone already is correct and am starting from there.

So today

51 and 52 two books to the CS

53 tin of biscuits that has sat in the cupboard for 2 months taken to work (it has already been started on by the hungry hoards):D

Aim to declutter some more when I get home.

Bonnie bumpkins hope that today is a better day.

I bought one of those Karcher window vacs today and can honestly say they are WELL worth the money! Hot water, vinegar and a spot of Stardrops and my widows are streak free and it only took minutes to do them too. I'm very impressed with my new toy. :T:T:T
