Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

loopychriss

Not a big amount today, just loads of 'bits' that had been lying around, plus a bag of stuff my daughter brought round for me to dispose of!

72. Letter posted (it had been sitting on the shelf for 3 weeks, luckily it's not important)
73. High vis jacket returned to Community Wardens (I used it over a year ago when I did a litter pick)
74. 2 morsbags distributed
75. Library book returned
76. 2 sports bottles in pouches
77. Another pouch minus the sports bottle
78. Bag of stuff from daughter for charity shop
79. Patchwork quilt in bag for homeless shelter
80. Bits of fabric from unpicked UFO - textile recycling
81. Plastic box for craft peel offs - charity bag
82. Mini gift bag - charity bag

Hopefully we'll get all the bags and boxes out of the house by the end of the week, to their various new homes (homeless shelter, charity shop, tip etc.) so there will also be a bit more floor space.

I've just written a list of more stuff I need to dispose of, another 70 jobs to do, so I'm not finished by any means yet!

Onwards and upwards peeps!!!!

Forgot to mention:

83. Electoral registration form filled in online and paper form shredded

That's another 63 books gone - 46 to cs and 17 to recycling. I found myself watching 84 Charing Cross Road the other evening, just to redress the balance!

Well its back to it again for me. Just wish I didn't have such a splitting headache. On a positive note though yesterday I filled 10 bin bags with books and clothes and linen and also managed to phone the local hospice charity who are going to come and collect the things tomorrow!!! I will do this!!! I will.

Result, Loobylou2! I hope you feel better soon.

rumblytum, you've given me ideas. I hadn't thought about software cds but I was just trying to decide if Swahili books would sell at the cs!
I've decluttered the kitchen armchair - which is a magnet for Things and I've removed from the veggie rack enough sad items to make a tasty soup.
And as ever, 3 books to cs and 24 to recycling.

You never know, Swahili is bound to capture someone's imagination!
