Not much done today, but what I have done is:-

• rock hard fondant (bin)
• really really old wrinkly shrivelled up frozen bananas x 10 (bin)
• sorted out some old leap frog cardridges/books ready for ebay/carboot
• bag of old jeans (waiting for tip trip)
• 4 x cardboard boxes (also waiting for tip trip)
• totally up to date with washing :j

Back to work tomorrow (boo ).

Florenceem ~ I am very impressed with your ebay sales this year :T. I've only managed to sell one item. What's your secret??!!

I had 42 items on and sold 16 - mix of stuff to sell. Some craft stash sort out - other - bits from Mil's flat.

I have listed a 35 inch wide digital screen TV on Freegle - the heavy big sort of model. Three asked for it - all said no when I asked did they realise it was not the thin flat screen model - so what do I do with it now? I also have a broken video player - thought someone may want it for spares or project. We don't have a car - so how to get rid. Not easy to declutter.

Your local council should have a large items collection service. You might have to pay for this though, it depends on the individual council. If you look on their webpage, details should be there somewhere under Refuse / Recycling etc.

Good luck to Doolallydilly

Today has been a most productive day. I've de-cluttered three drawers and have been investigating my husband's bedside cabinet.

He has the most ludicrous amount of paperwork in there, going back 20 years. I've pulled out the most obvious papers for shredding, but I will return to that cabinet in a few weeks to have another go at it. If something is badly cluttered, I find it helpful to do a couple of sweeps. Sometimes it's a bit much to do it all at once, and that was the case with that little cupboard!

Update on the 'GH'
1 more bag of shredded paper
1 carrier bag of old paint charts & leaflets on decorating
1 more book in the CS bag
Old Tablecloth - CS bag
4 M&S small wrapped soaps - CS Bag

I'm gradually getting my head round it - I'm doing the same as Goldiegirla little at a time - as I'm trying to sort out properly as I go its taking a while...........:(

Haven’t reported in for a while but the de-cluttering continues - albeit at a slower pace. Currently I’m working my way through the filing cabinet which is providing lots of shreddings for the compost . There’s still a long way to go but it feels good to be clearing stuff and reclaiming the space.

Got another Freegler asking for TV now - lets see if they think it is a thin flat screen model!

I'm back!! Gosh, that was :eek: I was there two hours!! I don't think it's likely that I'll be offered the job, to be honest, but thank goodness I have 'decluttered' the interview :rotfl:

Rewarding myself with a little sit down before I go and work out what to do with the chicken breasts I took out of the freezer this morning ....

Goldiegirl - I have to declutter paperwork like that - a bit at a time, and then go over it all again, then again - each time I get rid of more, I just can't seem to do it all in one hit!
