Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

MarilynMonroe_2

It's midnight and I've just sorted my dd's wardrobe out, not an easy task saying as she was asleep!
I've put all the summery clothes I took out not long ago back as they were just then in my room filling my drawers and stacked up in sight.
Tomorrow I will try and get my clothes sorted. I am going to do the wardrobe in all my pre pregnancy clothes and the drawers in the stuff I have to wear now.

Morning all!

Not much gone on this weekend. I took 3 bin bags of general rubbish to the tip as my rubbish bin was full (they take it every 2 weeks, alternating with the recycling here, which IMO is silly!)

4 books, 2 puzzles and 2 baby toys went to SILs house for my niece to play with yesterday I came back with a cardi she has asked me to fix. Aiming to get it done today so it can be sent back to her house! lol

1 bouncer chair for the baby is going to my mums today, i cleaned it yesterday so its ready to go later

Got 20 ebay things ending today, about 5 have bids so far. Everything that sells will be going tomorrow, everything that doesnt is getting relisted today. Got 4 maternity dresses to list today too and a few odds and sods ive piled up to sell too!

Im 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow so chances are im not going to get that much done over the next few weeks if baby decides to put in an appearance But it does mean hopefully ill shrink down to fit my normal clothes and can declutter the rest of my maternity wardrobe

Out of the garage and to the recycling centre:
27 - 38. assorted bits of wood and a cupboard door.
39. a length of plastic piping
40. - 44. small furniture items affected by damp (leak in roof )
45. glass from cupboard door
46. disintegrated plastic bag
47. warped plastic storage boxes

48.- 52. kitchen items to be donated to homeless

53. broken china that was not broken until the bag disintegrated as I lifted it -- binned.

A set of shelves and a smaller set were repurposed for storage for DH's paint tin mountain. Nice little project for him

Added: spare single mattress put on free-cycle, 5 replies in 55 minutes and only one was coherent and polite. I deleted 3 that just said "I'll take it"!

Out - Baby bouncer chair and 2 DVDs that were mums. Back to mums house.

I have done hardly any decluttering this month, but the house is looking reasonably tidy and clean, as we went away for the weekend last week and we had MIL coming over to feed the cat, so a lot of things were shoved in cupboards and drawers to hide them from view, and I will have to go through those at some point, lol!

Today I tackled the 'drawer of doom' in the lounge unit, and got rid of a few bits of paper, a couple of magazines, 2 old insurance payment books and a plastic holder that they were in, 2 empty bank paying in books, an old A5 diary, an empty plastic bottle (?) and a pen that didn't work. All these were either binned or recycled/shredded. I also found some paperwork that needs to be filed so that is now upstairs in a pile ready to be filed away during the week.

When I first started decluttering, I had a carrier bag full of charity bags that hadn't been collected, and after reading on MSE that some people used them as bin liners we started to use them in that way, and we are now down to our last one!

Been inspired reading about everyones progress. Hopefully will squeeze in some decluttering soon. Keep up the good work :T

I have a feeling I won't make my target this month, hubby has not been so good and, as I am decrepit, I can't manage some things alone. Not falling off the wagon though, this house will be decluttered if it kills me!:rotfl:

Your sig says you've deleted 36 things and that 36 more bits gone than last month. Celebrate that achievement. Yes the target is 100 but you can start afresh in November. Every little helps

Thank you

Got to the 36 on Saturday by going through a little plastic storage box, I honestly didn't think there was anything in there to go! I don't mind if I don't make my target because things are still going, which is really all that matters.

I can see a few more bit going out tomorrow as well, desperate to clear my bedroom again, seems like everything which hasn't got a home ends up in my bedroom :mad: have to change some stuff over to a bigger box tomorrow but that means the box can then be labelled and put away.

Watch my dust :rotfl:

Have a good rest of Sunday and a great Monday all
