Enough is enough - the great declutter

Soapy955

Not done too much lately but I have sorted three items of clothing out to go in the charity shop bag which will be taken once it's a bit fuller! I have listed 23 little Bpal perfume oils as a job lot on eBay and have three watchers on it. They have been sitting in the cupboard under my bath for ages and I know that I'll never wear them as my pregnancy hormones have sent my love of perfume out the door. Can't stand to wear any at the moment! :eek:

I have been sorting out the second drawer of my dreaded filing cabinet which had so much junk in it that it was too heavy to close. Well I have shredded loads of old bills and receipts and now the drawer slides easily again so I'm happy with that.

I have loads of toiletries to put on Freecycle and I'm hoping to list those dreaded George Michael calendars today! If they don't go they will go in the paper recycling on Wednesday night.

Have a great day de-cluttering everyone! :j

Oh I am excited by this thread, several bin bags going to charity shop later and 6 garden bags for the dump. 16 items on ebay finishing tonight with more to list. Cleared wardrobe (mark1) last week, will do it again tonight to be a bit more brutal/realistic about what fits me.

Hi I haven't read all this thread but for those who come under Birmingham City Council and are decluttering then use the free bulk collection service for unwanted items. However it can get busy so you may have a short wait of a week or two.
Check on www.birmingham.gov.uk or ring 0121 303 1112
I have got rid of loads that way including bags of junk, mattresses and furniture.

Most councils offer this service Ithink.. I know ours does, I've got rid of allsorts too.. the only thing they won't take here is garden waste and DIY waste.

Currently I have a wardrobe outside!

Not been on for a while due to me losing my Broadband for almost 3 weeks as a result of the dimwits closing my account rather than upgrading-now I am back uo and running I will be decluttering with gusto-well that's the plan as the inside of my house is making a bid for freedom

Out
box of old paperwork which has been shredded and taken to fire station for them to burn in the smokehouse

In
another bike for my son :eek:

I can't believe the number of people who have emailed me wanting my old calendars. I did put some Marilyn calendars on the list as well as the George Michael ones though, but it looks like I'm gonna get rid of them at last!

I had someone come for the bag of toiletries yesterday, and today I took a bag of stuff to the charity shop and managed to finally get a parcel off to my friend in Australia. I've had all thw stuff I wanted to send her for ages but only just bought the jiffy bag yesterday, so it is finally gone.

I'm getting de-cluttered, slowly but surely!!
