  • Hello there again de-clutterers,

    I have been reading your posts all week (haven't been able to do anything myself yet because of a frantic week at work) and am lost in admiration. However tomorrow is the big day - I'm going to go down to my storage unit and make a start on clearing out some of the stuff. To be honest I don't have a clue where I'm going to start, but the thought of making some money on Ebay etc to use for my travels is spurring me on. I will report back tomorrow when I have had a first look!

    ok, stopped now to get tea on. Kitchen still gleaming though and only a few dishes there to go in DW when it's finished. TD on again. Still not done the ironing. May get it done tonight but may not.
    Lots of bin bags in the hall to go tomorrow. Ran out of time today!

    Hey everyone

    I got sidetracked today and the computer bits haven't been done yet, but if not today it will be tomorrow. I've got a week now to prepare in earnest for the car boot sale so everything in the house is going to be considered! :D

    Pigpen - is/was it a heavy duty shredder? My home one only recommends 20 passes of up to 5 sheets at a time before needing a cooling off (yes it's a cheapie one, haha). If it's just the power that's gone, you might be fine if you unplug it for half an hour and try again?
