I have had some brilliant news about moving to a much cheaper property next year so now I have a deadline to work to which will be a good incentive for me.

Great news! What an incentive.

I've halved my Christmas decoration store and put a lot on freecycle, together with the storage box. No intention of filling it again!

2 newspapers to friend
1 soap holder to cs
zip bag with travel things to cs
huge red/gold bauble to cs
red/green sparkly hat to cs
5 books to recycling
4 books to cs
1 document box to cs

Morning all!

Got 4 things to package and post (thanks Ebay!)

Tiler is here now, creating an abundance of mess lol so we are cooped up in the office/lounge but may try and sort some more stuff out in there. Alot of it is husbands work stuff which i cant really declutter (but i can tidy it up so that'll have to do).

Its really hard to keep up with it all, im hoping eventually it will become habit and ill just do it as i go along

Morning all!
Lovely start to my month by winning a tomato products hamper, am a VERY happy me :j

Well done to everyone, keep saying it but one thing out is brilliant.

Am very annoyed that, for the first time ever, a free cycler didn't come to collect :mad: I am more annoyed because I sorted through the fabrics especially for her as she was so disappointed in not getting the first bag, it's just SO rude :mad: sorry, bad manners are something I cannot bear.

But on a brighter note...it's October!! Can't wait for the cold weather as then we can have the lovely smell of the wood burners in the evenings and bonfire night...love winter!! Also means cold winter nights spent indoors sorting through even more carp:rotfl:.

Have a fabulous day all, Sarah I hope your tiles look great and you enjoy the space made by putting them on the Walls

14 Giles annuals into the paper recycling. Why was I keeping them?

Same as me, I expect. I enjoyed them at the time. Don't need them any more.

Done quite well on freecycling:
1 artificial Christmas tree
1 Christmas tree base
1 50lt storage box
Also 1 magazine to recycling

Decluttered all my recycling into my recycling bin. About a bin bags worth! Have listed 8 items on eBay and 20 on facebook, will list more tommorrow as I hate doing it so doing it a few at a time.

Now going to have a big clean, tidy up and get the hoover out.

October Oust 5/100

4 metres of fabric
1 binbag of rubbish from front room.

Wonder if I can beat my fling for last month lol.. minus the million things from the loft.. though I could probably do to hik some more from up there.

57 things on ebay.. 1 with a bid.. FLING!!

I have to do a factory reset of the laptop so had to get my random 3 items listed so I could save the listings.

Tiles are looking good, majority are laid now and the rest will be tomorrow and the grout done etc Might even have a pack or 2 to take back to the shop :j got my receipt out just incase :beer:

Going to look through my bedroom for more things to shift in there (clothes and the like) and see if i can get anything for them on Ebay whilst im at it. Not ruining a good thing and disturbing the kids to go upstairs just yet as they are both playing so nicely in the office i think im going to stay put and gander on MSE

Sorted through some clothes, 1 top in the bin and 1 dress for Ebay :j decided to let go of some cards i was keeping for sentimental reason but like someone previously said on this thread, if you have the memories why keep the clutter? or to that effect anyway So all bar 1 birthday card for each of my childrens birthdays remains and i have recycled all our wedding cards (atleast 80) and i let go of all the valentines/mothers day etc cards too. Just deciding about birth congrat cards, suppose they should go too? im going to spend some time cutting them up so my kids can have some in their craft tubs to glue on things But the rest of the cards are binned! :T

got 3 books to sell/CS/bin and a suitcase to charity! All from the bedroom so far, im sorting some paperwork stuff ive found now too x
