Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

terrierlady

wonder if its upbringing that makes us horde and keep things for best, when is best? a friend died last month and her husband was amazed that she kept items unworn for best all differant sizes as she grew and slimmed down during her lifetime so i learnt the lesson dont keep for best wear and enjoy .

And the phone had died.....

22. Dead phone - will be taken to electrical recycling at tip

I would check out phone recycling web sites first - they give you cash for many brands of dead phones. Not much maybe, but better than nothing, and costs nothing to check :T

Even my son is now reminding me not to buy stuff for the sake of it now, lol. Doing well so far, but almost wobbled a few times. I'm still determined to remain clutter free after all our hard work.

ETA: I seem to have a bit of a thing for Tupperware type boxes. Ooops!

Hello all!

I've been lurking for a while, much inspired by all your brilliant '100 out-a-month' successes & finally decided to take the plunge! I've been de-cluttering in fits & starts since the beginning of the year, but I am determined to try and keep up the momentum this time

May I join you please? I am hoping a written tab will help me to keep going.

List for August:
1. Shredded old receipts (will recycle once full).

Good morning, Sunflower Girl, lovely to have you with us. Slow and steady is good - the 100 will disappear in no time (well in a month anyway!).

CBA mood needs to be decluttered so my first post for August (and once again not aiming for 100 as not achieving the figure makes me unhappy , just logging what I actually declutter and the higher the figure the higher my happiness level )

1. Boxes to recycling
2. Bag of CD’s to CS.
3. Teacosy to CS
4. Bag of clothes to CS
5. Bag of shoes to CS
6. Old toilet and cistern to tip.

i stumbled on this forum because i couldnt get into the sports bar directly and had to take the long way in and then i saw this on the big board.

speaking of preparation h, does it really work?
