    Sorted out my undies drawer although I don't feel I was that ruthless. I don;t think I'm really in the right mood to let go of things today. I did throw out 3 items, and have 6 items to ebay (new with tags, never worn and don't fit!!). There are still definately too many old undies in there but I just can't bring myself to part with them. I will set myself challenge to throw out anything I haven't worn in 2 months time.

    DH went to the recycling depot today so the last of the weekend/Mondays decluttering efforts has now gone and the hallway is clear. Brought lots of school work home tonight so probably wont get much decluttering done.

    Ditch 100 in January Challenge

    Had a very late night last night tidying and sorting for todays landlord inspection - he was only here 5 minutes!

    I was ruthless, and have got rid of:

    14. Outdoor Christmas lights -water had got into them & they looked dodgy.
    15. Pile of Various christmas decorations,some to rubbish, others to CS.
    16. 6 full black binliners of 'stuff' found in the living room. Inc broken toys,paperwork etc.
    17. Travel booster seat sold on FB site :)

    So, I'm up to 17/100. Really really pleased with progress so far.
    96 items decluttered so far in 2013 :)

    Aaaaagh! I seem to have lost my decluttering mojo over the past couple of days, really cba to do anything, grrr.....if I had joined the 100 in January challenge, I probably would have got rid of nearly 100 things before lethargy struck. I think I'm feeling a bit demoralised about the house move as people seem to be taking their sweet time to answer solicitors' questions etc.

    I'm working from home tomorrow so hopefully that will help me boost my enthusiasm as it's not as early a start to the day and I can hopefully maybe tackle the under stairs cupboard, which seems to be full of junk all the time, no matter how many times I try and clear it out!
