Not been on here for ages.I turned the flat upside down a few days ago,looking for some paperwork.I didn't find it but managed to sort out and clear away a whole load of paperwork.

I've also updated my dvd index (all 898 of them ) and have 8 to sell/give away,plus one book.

So that makes it 30/365

I got home from Tai Chi today to find that OH had been in the loft and brought down loads of boxes, kept in case product had to go back, and various items from DS's place.

He had it sorted into three piles - rubbish, charity shop and some for DD to eBay.

Definitely a new leaf from him!

I haven't been around much since starting the thread. I lost a very close family member suddenly in February, and decluttering was the last thing on my mind.

However, we are now having a new conservatory and I am determined that it won't get cluttered. As a result, I will get my dining room, kitchen and hallway back and they are definitely going to stay tidy this time !

Hitting Ebay with a vengeance, starting everything at a low price just to get rid.

Lost half the year, but hopefully the second half will be more productive.
