Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

dinx1972

I put my butt in gear this afternoon and convinced myself to join the ditch 100 items in January challenge so here goes:

1. 2 x robinsons fruit shoot bags and contents to after school club.
2. old remote control found in bedroom draw:eek: into bin.

Then when on the school run, the British Heart Foundation put a donation bag through the letter box with collection on Thursday (they must be telepathic!)


So I have kicked off my effort with 2/100, onwards and upwards.

I desperately need this thread, my house is full of clutter and it's ridiculous. I'm up for the ditch 100 in January challenge. I actually went thru my garage today and got a car load of stuff taken to the dump, so I can actually open my garage door without things falling out on me now!!! My biggest problem are toys, paperwork and my clothing, so I will focus on those. My kids are 2 and 4, both just had their birthdays as well as Christmas, so we've had a huge influx of toys and just no space to put them, so am going to have a real purge on the toys they don't play with and see if I can make some money as well as create some space!!

So I can start with the garage stuff:

1. old wardrobe
2. old garden table
3. old garden chair
4. computer table
5. computer chair
6. broken stair gate
7. infant car seat
8. broken tv
9. old bits of carpet
10. mouldy curtains (nice!!)
11. Bedside table
12. 2 broken games

Oh and I managed to sell 2 items on facebook page

13. gum ball machine toy
14. rocking ladybird toy

So that's not bad for day 1

Ditch 100 in January Challenge 14/100

It's not technically an out - but it's been used at last after sitting on the bathroom floor for over a year, so I'm going to count it anyway! 1 roll of bathroom sealant - I've finally scraped out the manky old sealant, and replaced with this nice easy strip of plastic stuff! Can't think what took me so long.....

OH did ours last night too! After I'd been asking him since October to do it.

Only thing I've decluttered today is a college application form! Spent the evening helping my eldest fill it in, so that hopefully she'll get accepted.

Ditch 100 in January Challenge 23/100

Little update

22. 7 mugs to charity shop
23. Photo Frame to charity shop

Not much and I WILL try harder tomorrow (I promise)

365days

18. Carrier worth of cardboard/card to the cardboard bin.

Been at work all day and doing college work most of the evening so a bit slow today. Black box day tomorrow ( cans/paper/fabric/foil/glass) so can't wait until that gets empty as I've plenty more lined up waiting to go in.

A few bits more sorted but haven't left the house yet so not going to count them.

Yesterday OH sorted out the paperwork he keeps on the shelf of his bedside cabinet (mostly old car insurance documents for a car which was written off in an accident last year), this resulted in a pile of paperwork for shredding/recycling which I shredded this morning, had to empty the shredder twice! Checking through the videos and DVDs I found we had one Disney title on VHS and DVD, so I've put the VHS in ebay box as I've sold a few Disney VHS on there already.

I got 42 items listed on ebay yesterday, and have watchers on 4 items already, including DS's TV and the unit he keeps the TV on, hope they go this time!
