Enough is enough - the great declutter

i've got rid of a lot of wool to my future MIL, shame its from a place that is hidden so not one of my immediate target zones. I've also been sorting out some recycling so that's a good start. I also managed to list 33 things on the free listing weekend, just hope some sell, it bugs me that half the time i don't get bids until the last minute so i'm left hanging in space lol I'm at home this weekend so i'm determined to tackle some more stuff in this place, i'm also going to take some stuff to the tip from the garden.0

Hi all, hope everyone is doing OK? Well I've now had a week and a bit of being 'finished', have to admit I keep looking around for things to tackle but there is nothing! Everything is very streamlined/practical/minimal and it feels great.
So I am just enjoying this for a while but I will be back, there is still a shelf of stuff to go on ebay after a couple of weeks break and I still want to do an inventory of what I have left - seeing that typed up will probably make me realise I still have far too much stuff!
Well done to everyone since I last posted and I have to say especially Nicki! Hope you have fun rearranging etc! Best of luck for your studies and the future.0 -
Well I'm off to tackle one of the drawers in my HUGE wardrobe. I have a target to clear ou the entire wardrobe so we can dismantle it, we're trying to get the house ready to sell and it just overwhelmes the room.
Then I've also got the understairs cupboard to tackle.
Must plan a Tip Run in the car at the weekend as we have loads of stuff for recycling/skip now.DEBT: £500 credit card £800 Bank overdraft

So I am just about declutterd completly. I am going to have another sweep round the house to see if anything else can go. It feels weird to have a nice spacious house, but in a good way. I can feel myself looking for other things to sort out now though. Might ask my aunt if I can declutter her house, lol.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 086Proud to be dealing with my debts !Total Debt: Was £6368.84 :eek: now £945.36Sealed Pot Challenge 049 Aim £5000

Have managed to declutter and dust large bookcase and drawers feeling good about that! Loadsa books gone to 2nd hand shop and a pile of 'bits' growing to go there when I get a chance!
Sadly my husband just pointed out a pile of stuff somewhere else that needs organising rather than noticing that I'd spent ages sorting and cleaning. He's off work at the moment but it's still me doing most of the household stuff. He'll cook if I get all the stuff out and tell him what to do and when bless him!! I guess I wouldn't like him to try and sort through all the piles of stuff as that's definitely my job and I would be lost if I couldn't find everything!!0 -
I've listed two more sets of stuff on freecycle, and now have two of my listings which have sold. Just keeping my fingers crossed now. I've also blitzed the kitchen and it's lovely and shiney so i'm chuffed.0

I have done some relisting on ebay and have a request for a BIN on one so I'm letting it go for the start price.. I'm certain I didn't pay too much for it!
My stereo took a flying leap into the wheelie bin yesterday.
Looking for more to sling today!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Ooh I have a bid on one of my ebay bits.. excellent.. I have a few more bits I need to get listed as well.. 39 on at the moment all ending on various dates.. I rather like the fixed price listings rather than the auction.. I'll have to edit all my listings on turboloster though to make them fixed prices.. never mind!
I am here to confess I've filled a second bag of stuff for the freecycle lady who wants Tiddles outgrown coat.. it started with a coat and is now several dresses and pinafores, tights, vests, t shirts and pj's.. saves a trip to charity shop I guess!! And I know I have at least 3 more boxes in the shed I can list.. and they'll all need washing as they've been stored forever!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
