Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

good_advice

Morning all. It looks another nice day.
Yesterday was the first day in a long time = I was able to put the washing off the line away. Usually, it is bring in, on clothes horse and put away in morning.

It is now getting to the stage where there is not a lot more decluttering we can do. Just a few tweets here and there.

Today I am going to see what food I can store in my lock and lock boxes from the cupboard. Neat and tidy

Just waiting for washing to finish so I can hang on line.

Todo list = I need to sort through my hang down storage bag. With lots of pockets. See if there are bathroom products we should be using. General declutter.

Not really decluttering but I want to change the door handle on the bathroom door. Improve and more good looking.
I have a white knob handle with blue flower in centre in mind.
Mine is very old cream on a white painted door:(

I have had a nice day = wondering around our smallish town. On my own.
Spent a grand total of £22.82 including the buss fare.

some of the things I bought to improve my home were = curtain tie backs, cup and soap dish for bathroom (replacing old ones), pck of 3 micro fibre cleaning cloths, 2 new oven trays (mine look a bit grotty).
Argos value clock radio = my clock keeps stopping . £5.49

Big massive push today.

BHF came in and cleared a load of stuff out from the loft. I then did another two massive loads to the Sue Ryder shop with the bric-a-brac stuff all greatfully received by them.

There is another massive full Land Rover car load to go. Had to tell you about the Land Rover because that will give you an idea of the amount of stuff that has been loaded up and gone

I have been up in the loft again this afternoon and done another big push - this time there is about a quarter of the work left now left to do. That means just re-going back through stuff deciding what we are keeping and what is being hoofed out. Christmnas stuff has been gone through and chucked a load of that out as well.

Found the house we want in Northumberland :T now we need to sell ours :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Everything that was put to one side in the loft has gone, there is still a bit more up there to do but we shall get that done over the course of next week.

Back breaking work today up and down the loft ladder but I can tell you this, it looks so much clearer up there.

It has to have been better quality, I'm using the 2 sets that were my grandparents!!!! They've both been passed for at least 4 yrs + and I remember helping to change the duvets when I was 13 (now 34.. cough) They are beautiful country style patterns (suits my cottage) & it's only now the sheets are wearing a little in the middle.. was contemplating cutting them through the middle & sewing back together from the outer edges? or is this a little ott? :rotfl:

Oh mrsgibbs that's lovely ... I would try to keep them if u can patch them up do its not ott! Managed my target of 10 items today cleared a kitchen drawer.. Nice and tidy now! Living room now completely clutter free working my way around the house again.... This is my second attempt I think I was a tad lighthearted first time around ...if I haven't used an item since last time it's going to a new home!
