marmiterulesok, I've also got a shelf of Agatha Christie books. They are mostly from cs and the condition is not good but I do read them over again - they are in my comfort category, and I have many friends who borrow them for the same reason. I have decided to keep them, since they seem to be 'paying their way'. I'll be interested to read your solution.

Wow,you have just written exactly what I feel about these books!

I'll have a look at them tomorrow and count them-out of interest.I think I'll keep hold of them,I definitely need my comfort books.I know that I'll read them again at some point.

You're doing really well btw.

Yesterday I was baking,cooking and I put out the rubbish.I only use one 35L bag a month.as I'm trying to limit waste and too much of it.It's a personal challenge and I enjoy it.Nothing wet or dirty goes in,so there's no funny smells.

-1 really used cat scratching post binned
-1 broken plastic container binned
-1 tin to the cellar

That's 154/200

I haven't managed anything today,been working.

38-bottle of aloe vera juice finished

I'm working my way through overstuffed kitchen cupboards and not replacing so counting this too! No one needs 6 tubs of pasta sauce at any one time!

Not much went on here today in spite of my good intentions. Granddaughter (18 months) stays overnight on Sundays and we have her all day Monday before taking her home. However did manage to remove

71. Toddler's bed from spare room - daughter took home as she's sold it

Hoping for a better total tomorrow. I even wrote a 'to do' list for today, but didn't actually manage to do anything on it!!! Never mind, it's gradually going.

I'm back after spending a week with a friend - who's also caught the decluttering bug. As I left she was unpicking a motheaten jumper to knit into squares - she'd already sent off 32 (squares not jumpers) earlier in the week.
So it's back to the bookshelves:
61 recycled
45 to cs
1 to friend
then
2 dvd's to cs
10 items to food bank

Just how I feel about mine! I started collecting them from CSs a couple of years ago and have them all now except 2/3 of the plays which were novelised by Charles Osborne. They are definitely immune from any decluttering!

Morning everyone,

Have been really busy so just a bit of decluttering to report

104-108 empty plastic bottles that have been saved for use as drink bottles (there are only so many that we need)- to bin!:)

I love my binmen! This morning they took away 7 cardboard boxes, a large reinforced brown paper sack, 10 volumes of the 1906 Chambers Encyclopaedia as well as a very heavy, full bin. When they'd gone, I looked inside the bin just to make sure it was still in one piece I'm out this morning but I have plans for it this afternoon!
