Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

Lost focus on the house this week. We've been busy in the garden, although I could sort through the boxes in the shed. Lots of half full feeds for various plants, probably lost any effect by now.

Hi, hope you are all Ok and enjoying the weekend.

Yesterday I decluttered
20 free sample pots & tubes of creams and potions, in bin as sniffed them and they didn't smell nice!:eek:
I CD box ( the type that looks bit like a shoe box) CS
2 broken CD cases in bin
3 CD's CS
4 *freebie* CD's waiting to offer to Friend as CS can't sell them. What do you do with your unwanted ones?
1 make up bag CS
1 pair of spectacles in case waiting to take to the opticians *unwanted bin*
I then had a good afternoon sewing and listening to a couple of CD's I'd forgotten I had :rotfl:

:T Well done to you all for all your decluttering efforts.

Good to hear again from those who are returning to this thread.

I have not done much decluttering this weekend, but have managed to do this:
* Read my personal emails, deleted or responded to them all
* Hoovered the house and got rid off some dust
* Earlier in the week gave away a bag of old magazines

The plan for tomorrow is to sort out my purse and to sort through my toiletries.

Big bag filled for charity including clothes, dvds, building blocks and some unwanted gifts. DH ha selected some more dvds i can get rid of too. I hope to convince him tpart with some huge hardback books that we have for kindle too

Cleaned some of my necklaces and threw away the stand they were hanging from. It was lovely when i bought it but has had its day. Bangles and 3 necklaces (fashion stuff not gold and silver) in the charity bag
Also done two loads of washing and made a meal which used up lots of bits. And did filing and changed toys round. ( we don't have all DS's toys out at once)
