    Not too bad, got rid of 2 shelves yesterday, 3 willow tree figure/ornaments (£37.50 i got for these lot). A suitcase which was pretty full of stuff went to charity shop this AM :)

    Today, ive brought in a new clock (to replace broken one i threw out), a cellotape dispenser to make packing Ebay items easier. Bought DD some much needed wellies on Ebay, will be chariting the old pair. Also bought 3 phone covers for our 3 phones, in the sale :) and threw my broken one out. Not too bad.

  • Not found much today or yesterday, but still got daughter and grandson lodging here so not much gets done!

    9. Photo frame - charity shop
    10. Pair of old slippers - homeless bag

    Seem to have lost my mojo a bit since having lodgers, but I'm not giving up!

  • Haven't been keeping check but have manage to get rid of some more glasses, some old clothes, baby stuff, and a couple of kitchen items not used.

    Today so far I have rid the house of:

    1 toy
    1 tie
    1 Glass

    Brings me to around 35/100

    I will keep track from now on, promise!!

    Afternoon!

    Free listing weekend this weekend so going to get my Ebay corner decluttered this week with any luck! Going to do pics today and then list them Sunday i think.

    Been out to toddler group this morning and a mum gave me some baby clothes so need to sort through them and see if there is anything we can use. Rest will be charited.

    Thing with this decluttering is my bins are always full of junk and my hallway always has a pile for charity lol

    Afternoon all.

    I shall be SOOOO glad when this week is over, haven't had such a grotty one for a very long time. :(

    Lovely RSPCA came and took all their stuff this morning, have a very large space now....:eek:

    Almost finished all the washing and drying, isn't drying washing a pain in damp days?

    Garden has just had last haircut and sideburns trim :rotfl: hopefully it will stop flipping growing until next year now ....please!!

    I promise to stop whinging soon too :)

    Have a great end to the week all, weekend officially starts this evening :T:T

  • I've just put a dinner table and a coffee table on Freecycle, no one wants to buy them. Hopefully those will go tonight so we can just have 3 tables in the storage room instead of the 5 we have in there now, why would someone need 5 tables lol. If no one wants them on there they will go to the tip. Got a load of stuff for eBay too and another big load for the charity shop :)

    Feeling too tired to move from the computer today. Hate being ill!
