Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

cte1111

Quick 10 minute declutter this morning:

6 pairs of knickers (fall down or not particularly comfortable)
Small ornament
2007 (!) calendar
Rusty can opener
Foil remover for bottles (no need)
3 cat toys (they never play with them)

I decluttered the 'drinks' cupboard and chucked out a bag of 4 year old coffee that was just a solid mass, an old jar of hot choc that had a small solid mass at the bottom and am undecided about a couple of open packs of tea that are from 2009 ans 2008...

I've also put a bin bag together of things to give to CS.

72 Magazines - Recycling

Really struggling with "black dog" so not much to report but trying for something everyday and just want to declare a few last bits for February as didnt get a chance yesterday

73 magazines - Recycling
74 bag of Cookie Cutters - School nursery)
75 2 x Headbands - Charity
76 Polysterne Chips - Bin
77 Cardboard Box (full of shredded paper) - Recycling
78 Eggbox & carrier bags - Corner Shop
79 Bag of junk - School (model making)
80 Empty reed diffuser - Bottle recycled, reeds binned

Even managed to spend 1/2 hour litter picking on the path we use to school (and lots of dog walkers, kids, parents etc) - looking better but still LOTS more to do and dont want to overload my bin so will try to do some every week/fortnight.

Still keeping up the new daily routines and it seems to be getting easier every day


Keep up the great work everyone :T

Ziggy2407 well done on your decluttering.
Spring begins on March 20th so that can be your new goal to GET RID OF YOUR "BLACK DOG".
Things will look so much better with the sun on your face

Afternoon all. The first day of March! and I got up LATE!
My bedside clock said 8am. When it was really 9.30am. Oh brought me a coffee and the dog came to say good morning and have a pat.

I got up and put my clothes on, including shoes. Trying the flylady way.

Set about pulling curtains back all around the house. The family do not bother with all. Opened windows.
I like to air the house each day.
Rebooted washing and took a photo of my "stain" to post on BZZ later. Trialing Vanish.
Washed breakfast dishes after checking the bedrooms for dishes.

Break for some breakfast = coffee and 1 croissant.

Computer on. Checked emails and deleted the trash and junk mail.

Postman has been, some mail in recycle bin.

To do list = hang washing on clothes horse, clean out coal fire grate.

Made a well done card for someone passing an exam.
I decided this year to make my cards again! I have the craft stuff. Now moved into a more accessible place.
I think when you have taken the trouble, the card in more personal.

I need to get out the cotton clothes I no longer need and take off the buttons, trimmings and make the material flat. I want to start a new hobby of patchwork/quilting.
That will be decluttering at the same time

Right off to clear the kitchen draining board of the things washed up earlier! You never know! I might shine my sink

5 sacks of assorted clothing, underwear, shoes, bags and bedding to the "cash for clothing/fabric" place = £12.10

Another item used up in the bathroom and three things binned from the spare bedroom (out of the 'come in useful' box).

This year's total now 85.

Cleaned out the second bedroom (guest room) took down the old curtains in there and binned them. I found a brand new pair of curtains in the loft earlier in the week and put those up this morning.

The room just looks really nice now. All clean, clutter free and zero spent on the curtains which I had, had for some time

It goes to show all the clearing out turns up unused items and in some cases better than what you had!
Same here.
