Enough is enough - the great declutter

zarazara

started on the garden and the garden shed :-)
OUT = 4 binbags of rubbish from shed, 2 pairs of boots, 1 large bag of cat litter, 4 bin bags of sawdust for someone to use,big pile of wood to woodstore for burning over the winter, one garden fence taken down,4 items listed on Freecycle, 1 book back to its owner
IN =NOTHING Yippee

theres a long way to go with the shed yet , but I need DH here to say which things he wants to keep and what I can FLING. I reckon I can get rid of about half the stuff thats in there and it wont be missed.

Out 21 bags to dump :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
1 minging dresser
1 rad cover that was left out in the rain
1 industrial oven that someone gave DH 7 months ago (and he took knowing he couldn't use it :rolleyes:)


In Oven chips for tea

Cannot begin to tell you all just how please I am - well maybe ZaraZara can relate!
Now left with about 5 plastic crates to put somewhere (shed is full but hey I can also cram it in like he does) and one crate of stuff to stick on Ebay (and then when it doesn't sell off to charity shop)
Really feel like I achieved something today and am chuffed!
Thanks to all those who sent encouragement :A

Do you dump things when he is not around, I even find myself putting things at bottom of bags so he can't see what I am flinging:D

I have been sorting out 11-year-old DDs bedroom today- I was finally able to clean it for the first time in weeks, after she tidied it yesterday (only 1045th time of asking!) I have got rid of lots of 'tat'- she has no idea- thinks I have just tidied it. I intend to carry on tomorrow, and feel mildly guilty at what I have got rid of without her knowing. I just can't stand the state of chaos that her room is usually in (esp as she is asthmatic so I need to be able to keep the dust down). She would proably go nuts if she realised what is now in the wheely bin/ ebay pile :rotfl:

hello...

I'm generally a lurker but the decluttering is exactly what I'm doing at the moment - very slowly over several months!

This might just give me a bit more oomph, may I join in?

zarazara

Welcome aboard all-change!

Can I join in?

OUT: Two thumping great big boxes of Dungeons & Dragons paraphernalia - well, they're by the front door, ready to load into the car this evening and pass to one of Mr LW's pals later tonight.

IN: A limited edition picture of an eagle that I won at the weekend and collected last night.
