Enough is enough - the great declutter

pigpen

Auctiva is officially a pile of w@.. ubbish..

It crashes my machine after about 25 seconds and restarts everything and isn't possible to use offline.. pants!! .. back to trusty old turbolister it is then!! *sigh*

I have parcels in the post and 2 of my 5 sold over the weekend so I am listing a few more this morning.. see if I can shift those too.

Hubby is taking the binbags to charity shop this morning.. all of them.. whether he likes the idea or not.. I don't care!

I found my roll of binbags so I can start on a few more now.

I have relisted the buggy which the taker didn't get back in touch about so hopefully that will go this time.

I am going to sort through DD2's clothes this week as well and hopefully get on to the 2 younger boys.. they have grown loads between them the last few months since it was last done.. one is on growth hormone replacement so havn't any choice lol

Hi Furrypig,

Welcome back. Is your holiday fund for a return trip to Florida We have been 7 times now, and I keep saying we won't go back, but I have been looking at flights for later in the year.

I also decluttered books yesterday, and now have two big box fulls in the hallway, and the car boot season is starting soon and I always buy loads of books, perhaps if I spent less time on here, I would be able to read some of them

Yep Charlies mum that's what it's for!

We don't normally do Disney just the Gulf coast but next year would like to do both if possible at this sort of time again. Probably won't go again after that as we normally take kids out of school and my daughter will be starting secondary so it won't be very easy then.

Where do you normally go?? I think I need to get on the Florida board and maybe DIBB to get some top tips for booking next year!! What do you reckon??

ps

Spent most of the day watching CSI/CSI New York that recorded while I was away and so my decluttering/ebaying has come to nothing!!

Must try harder, must try harder!!!

I am the proud proud owner of ONE SINGULAR LONESOME pushchair!!!

I have coats listed on freecycle now... and am hoping to palm a bag of clothes off on the taker of one of them.. gosh I am MEAN!! lol.

I have 12 things listed on ebay.. 9 done today.. ALL on BIN's so they will hopefully go sharpish.. I had a binbag of girly clothing which I have whittled down to 5 items and the rest has been listed/freecycled.

I am running out of big things to go.. though in a couple of weeks I'll have a set of bunk beds to go.. second thoughts. I may need them for the girls when we eventually get the loft sorted.. I best hang on to them then.

Anyone need a fisherprice garage? I have one needing a new home! .. Freecycle!!!!!!!! lol

Wonder if I can find an empty box to put freecyclable toys in!?

WE have done the parks a few times, but have also been to the Everglades, gulf coast (Sanibel and Captiva), Longboat Keys, and last year we went to Key West, but wouldn't go back. My DH described it as Blackpool on speed WE fly with Virgin and collect their airmiles, and book accommodation after looking through recommendations on tripadvisor. Mind you, a couple of years ago we took DS and his GF and booked a villa which was fabulous - check out the Dibb for information

Back to decluttering, to clear out the bedroom we have moved everything into another bedroom :eek: Good job I don't live in Buckingham Palace, I would just have even more clutter :rotfl:

Time to get rid of more clutter everyone.....
