Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

merrymary

Some serious decluttering going on here. Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm so busy reading the thread and haven't done much myself
I did get rid of some things but nowhere near your numbers. Slowly but getting there...

4 - 2 pair of pumps - ebay
5 - dd winter coat - ebay
6 - reusable nappy and new boosters pads - ebay (naughty I know , but easier to sell there than the other sites I found)
7 - dd's sandals - returned to tesco, too wide)
8 - curtains - returned to tesco ( I kept buying only to find their unsuitable or changed my mind )
9 - elc easel - collected
10 - wallpapers - up in the wall of DS room
11 - mobile bill statements 2010-2011 - will be shredded as soon as I get the shredder from the garage

I didn't think I cleared as much. It's free listing this weekend on Ebay so will be listing loads. No progress on my sofa cover making cos I couldn't find the fabric, it's in the garage somewhere buried deep. I've changed it to turn the king size duver cover into a living room curtains .

I love reading what you've decluttered, gives me an idea what to tackle next.
Have a good afternoon all! Enjoy the weather! xx

adding:
12 - dd's fleece jumper - recycled
13 - dd's dress - recycled
14 - assortment of bits from 2 boxes of bedroom essentials - bin

Another busy day at work,so won't be doing much decluttering this evening.I have found a pile of pay slips dating back to 2002,so they'll be shredded.So that's 188/200.

I'll be back on track tomorrow-a day off.I've already got a few ideas for what's next.:)

You're all doing really well!:j

45 old coat hangers to hanger recycling bin @ Tesco - do any of the other supermarkets have them, because I've not seen them anywhere else.
So up to 101/100 in two days!
Also loading up another cash for clothes bag with all DD's old clothes - about the only good thing about her growing so quickly! Plus, as I am doing Slimming World I have had to get rid of various clothes that gape too much now, which was most of the last cash for clothes bag I filled.

Not a lot happened here today: had someone viewing the house at 10.30 so spent a frantic 2 hours before that tidying and hoovering. After that didn't really feel like doing much. It's not often that we get a whole Saturday to ourselves at home, so we started a job that I've been nagging hubby to do for weeks - painting the garage door. We bought the paint weeks ago as part of the 'spruce-the-house-up-before-it-goes-on-the-market' campaign but the weather hadn't been nice enough to do it and get the paint dry! He's done the first coat - looks 100 times better, a nice Oxford blue. Now I have to fulfil my part of the bargain, and make the curtains for the breakfast room that I bought the fabric for weeks ago as well. So, today's outage:

101. Pot of paint used up on garage door
102. Fabric used to make curtains
103. 2 packs of curtain wire used on above curtains
104. Bucket of weeds on next door's skip (with their permission)
105. Old brush from dustpan and brush set - skip
106. One of my favourite tops - fabric recycling. (My own fault, I wore it while helping paint the garage door and got paint all down the front, which won't come out).

Made a start on decluttering the rest of a bottle of port - having a glass of port and lemon as I type. Won't count this though as there's still 1/2 bottle to go so will save till I've finished it up.

Still working my way through the list of 'to do' jobs and 'to declutter' list. I really love the thought of being able to move house without paying for all the clutter to be transported there as well.

Enjoy the sun everyone and keep on decluttering!
