    I meant to have a quiet day sorting big pile of photos into an album.I've only been meaning to get round to it for a few years.

    Instead I found myself tackling the wardrobe-my cupboard of doom maybe.:)

    Ever since I was given an iPod,all my cds have sat in two large boxes on the floor of my wardrobe,meaning no floor space for anything else.Until today,that is.

    So now I have:
    -68 cds to sell (hopefully)
    -20 cds to the cs
    -5 cds binned
    and
    -2 paper boxes recycled
    -1 broken plastic container binned.

    292/200

    That still leaves me with about 360 cds,but they're now stacked up and take up much less room.I have a vague plan to store them all in a cupboard in the cellar.It's just a shame that the effect of today's declutter is not visible IYSWIM.

    I think that's enough for today!:)

    I might tackle the photos tomorrow.

    Junk 100 in July: 91/100

    85 -86 2 prs Boys denim shorts - Charity
    87-90 4 x Ladies Tops (mine, now too big - yippee) - Charity
    91 Boys sweat top - Charity

    Hopefully, I'll be able to find my 9 in the morning to complete July as me and my little boy are going away for the week (unfortunately hubby has to work), we arent off anywhere exotic just a week near to where my mum is in respite care so we get to see her every day. I may not post as I'll be unable to do any de-cluttering but I will pop in and check on you all and how well you are all doing.

    Everyone is doing fab, keep up the great work :T

    Wow. I haven't been on here since March and feel the urge to get back on track again. Am in process of sorting out a load of school stuff and paperwork, so would love to do this again. It really helped me do some household clearing in Spring.

    Am going to read some of the many posts I've missed to get 'in the flow' then I'll dash upstairs to see what I can clear (rather than just rearrange!!).

    Thanks in advance everyone for all your contributions I'm about to read!
