Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

vikki_louise

Thanks for the encouragement last week when it felt rather hopeless. With your encouragement and my mums help (doing the physical parts) I got about a bin bag full of stuff out. One of the upstairs rooms is being redecorated and turns out our loft is 100% full, mums worried about the weight of it! Really wish I could crack on with it but will continue at a tortuous pace and hope it helps.
Our ins might make you smile, a proper Minnie and Mickey costumes like you find at Disney, my friends popped over and we ended up with a 6'5 Mickey, a Minnie and a big Peppa pig in the living room!

Love it, just love it.

Plastic container in the plastics recycling collection - we pay for a company to collect 2/3 times a year. Babies's hat on radiator - just in case it was damp ( it wasn't dirty ) then headed for charity bag. Toy storage container also off to the charity shop. Cuddly toy - wet - so drying on radiator in garage before going in fabric recycling bag. Glass bottles washed and in cardboard box in garage - they get taken to glass recycling bin as not collected on doorstep here.

Hiya,In thought I would join this thread.
I have been de cluttering again.Thanks to fly lady's de clutter February.
It seems a very hard task. What with family saying do not throw out my stuff.

I am slowly going around the cupboards and my own drawers.
Gave a neighbour a pile of my old dvd's. I think you can only watch the same one's so many times.

Today I had a sort out of my button box. Had all my buttons on the floor. I sorted them into sets and thread those with 4 or more onto a wool bracelet. The rest went in the bin.
I was so pleased! I found a set for the adult cardigan I am knitting. Soon to be a loving gift, made with my fair hands.

Buttons in the bin - what about CS?

System

Have well and truly taken advantage of free listing on ebay this weekend, 34 listings live at the moment totalling 44 items (some are buy it nows as I have multiples of the same items and have cost me 40p to list but can't have everythign for free can you eh? ) got 7 days to wait now though to see how much actually sells. A few items already have watchers so I'm hopeful I'll get rid of a fair few things.

Other than the live listings, I've had 1 buy it now item sell already so that will be posted tomorrow :j

Also put 2 items for sale on FB and they've both sold subject to collection :T

Some packaging to the recycling and old pens that don't work to the bin.

Trying to think of an area I haven't decluttered yet!!

I only have 1 item listed on Ebay, and I didn't want to do that. DH refused to put it in the RC, he thought it might be of interest to someone else. As it is a specialist book, and written in Russian I'm highly doubtful it will sell. It took me nearly 2 hours to locate any information about it at all, and I finally ended up scanning a book catalogue, also in Russian, and using a Russian alphabet I got from a Russian Keyboard on my computer. It would have been so much better in the Recycling! As you may have deduced I don't speak Russian and neither does my hubby.
Anything else I unearth in a foreign language is going to CS, they can do what they want with it so long as it's out of here.
