Enough is enough - the great declutter

pollys

Got loads done

IN: storage box for son, files for paperwork and some food.

OUT: about 8 black bags of rubbish, 5 bags of clothes for recycling bin (done) bag of toys and bag of household items for charity shop (tried to deliver but shop closed until monday)

Feeling pleased, but the more time I spend decluttering one room the messier the rest of the house gets.

Didn't get much more done yesterday afternoon :eek: So house is still looking like WWIII has started, infact more like we had a bombing raid yesterday:o

I really didn't do very well, all the jobs I did in the morning got sent out of the window with all the hassle trying to sort letting agent out, And I went to IKEA last night for a bit of retail Therapy so last night saw the arrival of:

IN:

one new rug frontroom, 6 storage boxes (well they are going to help with the great de-clutter, I hope , 10 panels for kids room (going to cover the whole wall that has alcoves on it so i can put some shelves up behind and add some much needed storage space, 3 curtain poles, 2 stools for kids room, one puppet show cardboard thing for the keeping the kids quite today.

OUT:

1 Bag of Rubbish :mad:

I'm going to get stuck in now (well when I have finished my coffee!!!) and I'm not going to stop (:rolleyes: ) will update later:o

Hope everyone else is getting on better than me :A

V festival is just up the road from me so we'll be virtually housebound this weekend due to the horrendous traffic. They'll go back to a charity shop when I've read them though.

argh - I've rediscovered the boots grabbit thread and had a little Bootsing session this evening. I'm always very good and don't take advantage of offers if I know i won't use the stuff and most of the things I bought I will use (it'll just take OH a while to get through his 7 bottles of shower gel (which were half price) :rolleyes:)

Anyway will have to try even harder to find things to get rid of and the offers have helped me financially.
