Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

Someone posted this on my fb wall today

We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.

I have really enjoyed giving things to people who will make better use of them during this declutter

Often jars of odd buttons are for sale in CS. I have oodles of buttons myself - probably me thinking - oh no - I can't bin them.

At the CS where I volunteer, one of our ladies sorts all the buttons out and stitches matching ones onto strips of card which are then put into a jar for selling at 50p per strip :j.

Just wanted to say good morning and good luck to all you declutter peeps
I have posted on the hoarders thread today as I felt that was where it needed to go.
I am working so cheesed off that I may not get much if anything done but I will be back x

Hi I have been a lurker on here for a couple of weeks now, you have all inspired me to make a start, I have decluttered our computer desk drawers and you wouldn't believe how many pens were in there!!!! Now off to sort through my underwear drawer! Keep up the good work every one
Have a good day.

Good Morning all :wave: - and a special to all our new (de)clutterbugs.

Quite a bright day here for a change - but still quite cold - hope everybody else is able to get out and about at the moment.

Congrats on all the hard work that's getting done - lots of progress by the sounds of things -

Hope you're slowing down a bit, flyingmamma - things are getting a bit close for comfort just now .................... - big for you for Thursday, we'll all be thinking of you and your family.

I've got a new bed being delivered on Friday, so am in the middle of re-organising the back bedroom - once again :eek:! The single bed is currently at the bottom of the stairs waiting for a Freecycler to collect :j asap.

I'm part-way through re-jigging the furniture layout as our current double bed won't fit on the wall where the single one used to be - entails shifting chest of drawers / wardrobe / 2 tall book shelves so that I can fit the double and 2 bedside cabinets in their place. ........... of course, it also means 'playing tetris' with the remaining boxes/plastic crates that haven't yet been unpacked .

Once I've got the double bed in there, we'll need to sleep in there for a couple of nights until the new King Size bed arrives on Friday - but at least moving it ahead of schedule means that the new one can go straight into it's proper place :j.

I've also advertised more packing boxes for somebody moving house on Freecycle AND a pile of Project Folders/Plastic Pockets/Binders/Manilla Folders - those should be suitable for someone on a study course or a running a small busness. Just hoping that they get claimed quickly and I can get them out of the flat / outdoor lockup.

I'm up-to-date with all my recycling and rubbish chucking - this flat is so much smaller than where we lived before, that the least thing out of place makes it look really untidy .

Basically, I've still got way too much 'stuff' around .

Keep up the good work everybody - I'll pop back in again later to see what you've all been up to while my back's turned - take care - Lilyplonk xxx


Update - the single bed and packing boxes have been claimed :j

P333 is Project 333, I've not done it, but the idea is to choose 33 items of clothing (including accessories) and they become your capsule wardrobe for 3 months.
