    Today I managed...

    3 suitcases emptied and put in attic home from hols last night.

    All holiday laundry washed, dried and put away in one day.

    Lip liner, lip balm and few more bits binned.

    Probably won't have anything to report over the weekend as we're heading to our caravan.

    :D:D

    "I may need that" is the primary reason I end up with so much stuff!
    This is so true. Once I've got my head around that - and the fact that I don't have to have xx to help out someone else who may need it - then I can feel the invisible strings being cut. Decluttering is so much more than things being sorted.
    Morning all :j

    92. a hanger to be recycled at Mr Ts.

    Today,
    - my underwear drawer was tidy and I could find the things I needed.
    - I opened the cupboard in the bathroom nad picked out the item straight away.
    - My son's bed is made and ready to sleep in, he'll be able to walk across the floor without moving anything, he can open the wardrobe and use the desk.
    - I can open the full height understair cupboard without being attacked by the ironing board.

    :T:T:T:T:T

    Outside the back door there is a pile of stuff ready for the recycling centre and the charity shop won't know what has hit it when we deliver the boxes :shocked:

    Today, I have prepared for the Ebay free listing this weekend.


    DH is in a state of shock :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
