Been busy in the spare room all night :j

OUT: 3 binbags of rubbish.

Listed lost of master system/megadrive/N64 games on a local forum, if they don't sell then shall whack them on ebay. Kept 2 games aside that seem to be selling well (£10 region) on ebay atm. Nearly sorted all the consoles/wires/controllers etc into the correct bundles so shall list them shortly.

Have a box of stuff to list on ebay, a box of videos to whack on freecycle and 3 boxes of cds to sort through to see which are worth selling and which will just be ebayed/charity shopped. So that's my next 2 nights and weekend off work filled! I shall relax on Monday!

And Out!!! again :dance: two carriers full of bubble envelopes etc.

Well done pigpen. I havent done much decluttering but we are on school holidays next week and as we seem to spend every weekend/evening ferrying children to football/rugby/netball/parties/cubs etc have warned them part of next week will be spent sorting out their rooms. looking forward to a tidier/cleaner house by the end of next week.

i can finally get back into this with a venegence; my degree is virtually over, so i have time on my hands!

ive done several small declutters of specific areas over the past year or so, so some areas will be much quicker to go through this time than others. i desperately want to get my life on track before i start my teacher training course in september - here's hoping you lot can keep me on the straight and narrow

today i have been concentrating on getting jobs done, so that i can do the paperwork which has been unloved for far too long. luckily i have tried to keep bits together, so it should be more of a purge than a major sort out.

to this end, today i have:

booked our holiday insurance
sorted out the problem with the new car insurance policy
booked and paid for my graduation gown
completed my CRB forms for teaching prac
cleared my email inboxes and caught up with surveys.
typed up a holiday packing list (every time i go away i hand write one - what a waste of time! now i can just print it off).


by the end of the day i aim to have

tidied the numerous piles of my clothes that are all over the place (wardrobe needs a major declutter)
cleared my desk
made a list of all outstanding paper tasks still to do, and collect all those papers into one pile
made a start on purging old paperwork


reading back, that looks like a hell of a lot - its amazing what you can get done when you just sit down and get on with it, which is what i have been able to do today.
